      The thing is Randy if you look at similar services for music, movies and books you are wrong. In books consumers have embraced a monopoly. In music they have embraced a drm free solution. In movies they have embraced cross silo compatibility (movies anywhere).

      Yes. In order for that to happen, we need competitive viable stores. iTunes was not DRM free until Amazon came along, for example.

      The solution is simple and already exists, it just needs some work - we need a universal games launcher we can plug our libraries into and access from a single app with minimal effort. LaunchBox does this fairly well, but needs user input to make it look attractive.

      Would love to see launchers decoupled from storefronts and from payment methods, so everything can be mixed and matched. I think that’s where everything is ultimately going, just requires a pretty big shakeup.

      It'll probably end up being a third party solution that'll sync your launcher libraries. Scrapers already exist for metadata to fill in the media for the games. What would make it next level are community features with forums that could probably operate the same as IMDb did.

      I'm sure theres a way. 20 years ago no one ever could have dreamed of owning a season of a TV show, let alone being able to pull it out of the air whenever you want. Where theres a will theres a way; hopefully one day it's a reality.

      I’d compare to the forces that led to email services being federated (before the “@“, every university and company had an internal email system that couldn’t talk to others), or proprietary services like America Online being replaced by the Internet.

      Once a few had agreed, the interconnected open system was so much better than the proprietary ones that the others had to come on board. Wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns!

          So, by your logic, the more game stores there are each competing with exclusives the more likely (not less!) that it will be that some white knight service will arise to link them together? That sounds like madness to me,

          more likely the end game is to make piracy the norm. because that is the only way that any of Tim's idealistic talking points could possibly work with his business practices. looking at what his company does, they are more evil than EA.

          And which is better for consumers? If you guys are so hell bent on making your store front the place to be, stand by your principles and make the product DRM free. You get the sales and consumers get the freedom.

          Which is more likely? DRM free store fronts or a bandaid like disintermediation service, once the storefronts have run amok?
