I didn’t know ps had streaming only games. Looking it up it seems to be specifically ps3 titles, which makes sense to me considering that the ps3 cell processor is notoriously hard to emulate.
Online only single player games are able to exist because most people have some sort of a connection all the time and they either don’t know or care that the game is connecting to internet when they play.
Cloud gaming is a noticeably worse experience and it has much stricter requirements. I think you underestimate the backlash there would be if the next cod just downloaded a streaming client.
I am concerned that a generation of gamers will sink thousands of dollars into streaming services, end up owning nothing and have a worse experience in the process. I don’t know how to prevent that other than giving people financial stability to make smart decisions.
