The difference from previous attempts (ie phantom) is they have signed up major games producers.

I wonder if PC's and consoles will be kept seperate?

Seems like the sync problems would be horrible if they didnt.

Heard this all before, will not work. for more reasons than you could ever write down. Biggest killers for this nonsense are:

 

Scenario:

 

Going on holiday where there is no internet (camping for example) without your own copy of game and console/pc, you can't even play single player. That would be true for any internet service disruption or outages on phone network etc even at home.....

 

Even if this did take off, there will be hundreds of other companies doing the same thing, then there will be the usual segregation where certain games are exclusive to one service, others to another, you then need to sign up to several services to play the games you want, we all know how crap that would be.

 

And that is just the surface, this (like all the attempts before) are pie in the sky, doubt even if it takes off, it will last more than a year

I already debated this @ OFP2

total rubbish, why, because they say it's like playing lagless but you can not break the laws of physics & when the service is unavailable you can not play.
