The days of pay-per-game are coming to an end. It will be replaced with a monthly fee for unlimited games. Exciting times for us.

Wrong. They will make you pay to rent each game for a certain time. Or at least that is what their twitter and their blog say.

Supposedly, it's very similar to Netflix's online movies, even though games are downloaded as opposed to streamed. Supposedly, it's unlimited games, too. However, as soon as you cut service, the games go dormant too, so you get as many games as you want as long as you continually pay for the service.

I have feeling this will be abused a lot. There will probably be a work around for getting past the Game Fly code that prevents you from playing the game as soon as you cancel the subscription.

Netflix of PC gaming? I'm IN. I'm a long time Netflix user, lol.

sounds good but i suspect it to fail due to hackers and such probably being smarter than them they will just steal hundreds of games and most likly get away with it
