OnLive Survey Hints at Flat Fee Subscription

A new survey sent out from OnLive had me sit down and tick off my experience via quantifiable yet not-entirely-accurate radio boxes. Overall it’s about what Maxx and I have expressed on the show (amazing tech, not so great performance or prices) but then they asked about a unique subscription plan. Similar to Netflix’s Instant Watch feature, OnLive would offer a plan where a flat monthly fee would give users access to games more than six months old. While the devil may lurk in the details of said plan, any kind of simple flat-rate subscription would help cut through the confusion of the current structure by which a yearly fee gives access to a marketplace of for-pay games that are all priced differently.
