Now I know cloud gaming(that is when it completely replaces disc based games and digital downloads) is years away, but does anyone else think it will kill game modding? I mean if you can't access the textures or meshes there's no way to edit them and you couldn't even make things from scratch, because again you can't access the games file structure. So unless a game has a user created content option built into it like Infamous or Little big planet there's no way to add content. This means no new equipment, npc's, quests/missions and most importantly unoffical bug fixes or patches.
Also how would official dlc and expansions work? You won't own anything, so what you pay more for the version of the game with the expansion than the regular one. Like say this happens with elder scrolls 6/7, it's 29.99 to rent the vanilla game for a month and 34.99 for the version with add-ons?
On the bright side it will put an end to the constant pc/console wars.
