Comment X-Box Killer? Nah. Phantom Killer? Hm... (Score 2, Interesting) 46
This sounds an awful lot like the Phantom, doesn't it? Except that they don't seem to be talking as much about DRM and content controls...
Sounds like it could swipe a lot of Phantom's market share, and Phantom needs a big market to be profitable.
Personally, I'm all for it. The idea of a market for PC games that don't work on actual PCs is offensive to me on many levels, but the idea that people buying a PC only for gaming should pay less than those buying one as a workstation seems to have a certain merit.
I have to agree with a post above, though, that I'm not sure how they're planning to make money. Oh, well.
