What do you guys think? Is it viable? Would you pay to play these games? Opinions!

Personally I think its a pretty good idea for me considering I'm on a school LAN network and I'm cut off from all my games back home, so I'd actually consider forking out $6 to play Icewind Dale and Heart Of Winter without the CDs.

Does anything think this is a good idea?

You'd better have a DAMN good DSL.. this site isn't illegal it's just running CDs off at a place which is nowhere near your location. Just to load a tiny thing will cause a LARGE ammount of lagtime, and what is funnier is that many multiple users will want to be doing the same thing as you, this will lead to even MORE lag an the comps in schools aren't always that great either. All in all you get a cyber-cafe type experience except the server is NOWHERE near you and its abou X times slower... X is a number determiend by your location and connection speed [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehe Streaming games, now THAT a pretty good money making scam! You get 10 games and host em on the net for all to play RIGHT off your new server. In the end it pays for itself [img]tongue.gif[/img] 6 bucsk eh? That must mean that he's either 1: Desperate 2: He's already gotten paid enough and is willing to be a little cheapter

[img]tongue.gif[/img] I doubt it will be the later.... HEHEH

WHOAH hey no never mind it IS the later *edit* I just checked YES ok so Interplay is a very umm reliable source OK so they're just wanting another Get Rich quick scheme here... err I think they have more than just ONE disk for everyone to play off of [img]tongue.gif[/img] hehe...
