I was impressed with the display of the MMOs in the demo, and IF the technology is feasible for large scale deployment (barring bandwidth caps, lag issues, etc), it will happen, because EA, Ubi, Activision, etc. will demand it. It will eliminate piracy for games produced by those companies, so they'll practically explode with glee.

If that happens, then MMOs would need to be on the bandwagon, if for no other reason then it would open the doors for subscribership through multiplatform availability. Not having to install multi-GB apps (or reinstall if you happen to have removed them), and especially one-patch-to-fix-them-all options is a Big Deal.

The ONLY downside (barring bandwidth caps, lag issues, etc), is that if you want to play a simple single player game (yes, they still exist) and you have no Internet connection...you're screwed. But since this site is all about MMOs, you'd be screwed NOW if you don't have a connection :D
