Game streaming is the ultimate form of DRM and simply terrible for consumers. Technology wise it will also always be inferior to user hardware unless the user doesn't have hardware or has a potato. This brings up the inconvenient truth though that simply paying for the bandwidth is overall more expensive than buying the hardware locally. This idea that bandwidth requirements will stop being an issue is absurd. Technology always advances which means it will always be increasing the demand on bandwidth to catch up. Think higher bitrates, framerates, higher resolutions. It's just going to be cheaper to locally render and display games than to pay somebody to do it on a server for you and then transmit it. Game streaming is being pushed by game publishers as the end game of DRM where users have zero control and rely entirely on publishers allowing them access. This also means publishers hold all the cards regarding how long games live even more so than they already do.
 
Game streaming can be pushed, but I'm not buying it. I've tried it and it's downside were instantly noticeable and the hypothetical once it becomes the norm are just obvious and damning for consumers for me to ever support.

Bad move by EA. They just showed their hand when it comes to strategy for the Origin platform.
