The issue of downtime or malicious DDOS comes up too. People complained for months about having to validate through Valve every time they played a SINGLE-PLAYER game, so I can't imagine the ire of people complaining that they can't play a game they paid for because the render farm is down or unreachable.
Also, what about the substantial market of people who do not play online games or those who do not have "always on" Internet?
