Recently I've been seeing lots of people complain about how OnLive is terrible because you are "renting the games at full price", and you are not really owning the game.
But doesn't Steam work the same way?

You can't play Steam games when Steam is down. Yo can't play OnLive games if OnLive is down.
So whats the big problem?
Note: I'm not trying to advertise, but my experience with OnLive has been really awesome, and it's a shame to see so many people decide it is not worth it before even trying it.
