I pretty much blasted OnLive the other day as something that doesn't hold a candle to the distribution power that is the web. Still I keep wondering what's the draw of it. Positioned against the consoles business, it does have clear benefits, clear enough that Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime felt it necessary to try to dismiss it. That is, with the exception that it doesn't run console games, only PC games. Today though I read this post from Keith Boesky (RT @jussil), and sure, looking at it from the perspective of building it for acquisition, yeah, it makes perfect sense. I guess my weakness is I always try to understand things like this as standalone businesses, when they're probably not meant to be that. My bad.
