When I first heard of OnLive last night, I did not think much of it. As I started going through the news stories and getting the impressions from industry heads (I could aim a low-blow to Denis Dyack here, but I will not), I admit the Kool-Aid started looking a bit tastier. Steve Perlman has done a damn good job selling his product.
After some time to mull over this new tech, my thoughts are this: if everything went right for OnLive, it would mean a true paradigm shift in this industry. The reality, however, is that this sweet tune is probably going to go a bit off-key when it reaches consumers.
