I'm not worried about the loss of ownership and the rise of "disposable games" that the article identifies. Most games, like most movies, are good the first time but not worth a second run, and that's completely OK. We shouldn't expect "games as an art form" from AAA studios. So why not have a model that reflects that reality? I'll start worrying if indie games got sucked into this, to the point you could no longer purchase them. Indie games are more likely to become high-replay classics (Braid, FTL, Papers Please...) and don't require a powerful gaming PC. I'll also start worrying if ads start appearing in-game, and that seems like a much more likely outcome.
