This.

GP's suggestion that OnLive was bound to fail because it made sacrifices in the name of convenience is laughably misinformed. Compressed digital music trumped the entrenched CD market in spite of crummy sound quality; consumers chose Netflix streaming over Blu-ray in spite of crummy video quality (and having to deal with Netflix, Inc.). Convenience CAN win if it's sold right, and OnLive would be positioned to fill the gap between $100 netbook with Facebook games and $2000 gaming PC with $60 games, without sacrificing the feel of "premium" gaming. They're struggling for the reasons you mentioned, not because gamers like the business model they're trapped in.
