Yes, you are right, there are circumstances like you described (when a comp is not available or some other emergency)) when people would use OnLive. But I doubt that just emergency use would generate enough profits for a service. As I said it ain't cheap, and while it is so, it would not be financially wise to use it not as an emergency (where you pay like 5 buck for a three days or something) but on a regular basis. Well, people are all for instant gratification, even if it would cost more at the end, so OnLive is here, if somebody needs it.
