This week's announcement at GDC 2010 of a June 17 launch date for the OnLive streaming game service hasn't stopped the skeptics from saying the service won't be a big hit. VG247.com reports that Signal Hill analyst Todd Greenwald feels the announcement of a $14.95 a month pricing plan for OnLive. plus the purchasing of each game, could keep many from trying OnLive out. He's quoted as saying, "If publishers try to sell digital-only new release games at a $40-50 ASP (average selling price), we don't think gamers will find the price points compelling."

However OnLive does have high powered supporters too. One of them is Epic Games VP Mark Rein who told Gamasutra that while "super hardcore" gamers might notice lag and graphics that are not quite up to their highest potential, "...if you're a gamer who doesn't want to go erect a big fancy pc like that... it's really fun."
