I saw someone call it cuckcoding because you just sit there and watch and I think that's a much better name.
Cute, but a more accurate metaphor would be that one guy is using Cialis, and the other guy is whining on Slashdot.

I expect a lot of these game companies to change to a system where:
1) You pay for a yearly contract to play ANY of their games.
2) Despite them having only one or two games that people want to play, in addition to 8+ crappy games that no reasonable person would pay to play.
This allows them to screw over people in a manner similar to what they do now.
You do know that you wouldn't have to sign up for such a scheme, right? There's no gun to your head?
