Yeah but what about the gaming platform itself? How long will Google maintain the runtime environment? Games tend to to be superseded, as they can be a form of story telling, which has little bearing on the technology in use. Will Google be willing to maintain all the emulators in the long run? What about abandonware? Will it still be purchasable as such, or will the licensing structure collapse completely and there is no chance to get the run times out of the Google fortress. Like it or not, games represent a cultural heritage and this service represents too great a risk for any platform exclusives to become lost.<p>All that said, more traditional gaming companies are trying to do this anyway.
