Well I guess to meant first COMMERCIAL game... hobbyist things are great but usually free and either just plain bad or those Doom/Quake conversions that are popping everywhere.
To me it sort of makes sense that soon (insert suitable amount of years) physical games are history and even steam looks old fashioned. Where do you need your own HD anyway, wouldn't it be better to have everything on net on properly back-upped servers... That information would then be available to you wherever you are on the planet. Yes, connection/internet speeds would have to be 10-100 times faster than they are now but we will there soon enough.
