Games as a Service (Off-Topic)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Wednesday, September 24, 2014, 11:01 (3504 days ago) @ Jironimo

I don't mean you buy x game and it gets better over time. I mean you buy x game and it's Xbone quality and in a few years when y game comes out it's xbone 2 quality because the back-end infrastructure improved over that course of time which allowed greater fidelity. If this were to happen, then buying new consoles every so many years would be a thing of the past.

This is correct in theory, but the idea of 'games as a service' is ultimately detrimental to the quality of games.
