1-I'd love to be able to try it out for like 20 minutes or something to see how it performs for me.
2-they talk about adding games...how long are we guaranteed that the current games will be a part of the service? I don't want to sign up only to have them lose all their Star Wars games in the next 3 months or something like that.
3-I'd be in for the lifetime plan if I knew how that might end up working out. What happens if the service shuts down in like 2 years? Do I get a refund since I paid more than the cost of 2 years? If the service fails and they decide to shut it down, will they just flip the switch one day? Or will we be warned like a year in advance?
I'd love to get in on these games, and I don't really care about the whole cloud thing/the fact that it might not last forever, but I have to know that they aren't going to totally rip me off.
I'm honestly really into it. Would love to be able play all of these Star Wars games, arcade games, Sensible Soccer, and some other stuff without relying on my old hardware and/or having to buy them one at a time. I hope they have a trial so you can see how it runs with your set up before buying it (though I suppose you could request a refund). I'd also like to know how often games fall off the service/how likely it is and what happens if the service shuts down-if you're paying $80 for a lifetime subscription, it'd be kinda bogus if it shut down in 2.5 years, for example. Also, do they give you like a one year warning or anything like that? Or will it just go away one day?

Re: Hands On With Antstream Arcade: Xbox's Massive New Retro Gaming Collection
@JetmanUK A 13 minute video? Any chance anybody out there just has like, an article?
EDIT-I take it back, this video is pretty good. The time stamps help. Thanks!

I like it...but I'm a bit hesitant.
