That was just the Astro Bots

Mckmaster uses MasterCard to buy Slave drives
That would be horrible!
Maybe but what if it's a great game that's taking advantage of the fact that it's Cloud Native & never have to be downloaded so it can be over 1TB in size so it's an unique experience.

oh, here we go.
They will if it's a test bed for something that they know that the main console players are not acceptable to.

I see the portal as a trojan horse in the reverse way...to play native games.
Have you played a Portal?

False. It doesn’t play games. Buuut I could see it used the same way the Wii U used the tablet portion of it.. maybe.

With how expensive development is? Nah.
Guess you missed the news that it can work without a PS5 now.

Sony put an all digital handheld out way back in 2011, it seemed ahead of times, they gave zipper opportunities to do socom online (fireteam bravo 3) and games like gta and msg performed well on it.

Cloud gaming is too expensive to pay it with ads only. I think it will continue requiring the PS+ or Game Pass Ultimate subscription forever.
And the cloud gaming audience is too small to make a game profitable making it exclusive to it. So no, make sure there won't be cloud gaming exclusive games at least for a while.

The Greatest Game of All
Verse 1:
I believe the PlayStation Portal's is trojan horse,
To cloud gaming’s future, setting us free, of course,
With a screen in my hands, it's just a start,
A console on the go, now that's the art.
Pre-Chorus:
I see it’s more than just a device,
It’s a gateway to the cloud, a new paradise.
We’ll play from anywhere, on any screen,
Gaming’s future is here, it's all we've dreamed.
Chorus:
The greatest game of all,
Is the one where the console fades away,
The Portal brings it all,
Cloud gaming's here, and here to stay.
Verse 2:
It’s not about the console in your home,
It’s about the power that’s out of sight, unknown.
Through the Portal’s lens, we find the truth,
Gaming's limitless, no need for a booth.
Pre-Chorus:
It’s not about the gear or the space,
It’s the freedom of playing in any place.
No wires, no discs, just the cloud in view,
The PlayStation Portal is making dreams come true.
Chorus:
The greatest game of all,
Is the one that lets you play everywhere,
A gaming world that’ll never fall,
Cloud gaming’s here with no repair.
Bridge:
Inside the Portal, there's no more wait,
Just endless worlds you can navigate.
It’s not a gimmick, it’s the start,
Of cloud gaming’s revolution at heart.
Chorus:
The greatest game of all,
Is the future where no console’s bound,
With the Portal, we stand tall,
In the cloud, we’re always gaming, all around.
Outro:
The greatest game of all,
Is the cloud, and it’s here to stay.

They could take the Arcade approach ( Pay to Play) or rental

They already do it: pay the subscription to play.

It's kinda fun the way it currently happens
I'm talking about for a game that's not available on home consoles.
That crossed my mind

So far all the cloud services expect you to pay full price for the game and then pay full price for the top subscription to access it via the cloud. We are about as far away from free games with ads on the cloud as it gets.

A game you can only play on Portal? Nah. A game *feature* that you can access with a Portal seems more likely. Adding a second player to a game and having one (or both) players needing to be subbed would make sense, or some kind of “host” and “guest” deal for, say, a trivia game or some other asynchronous multiplayer. There’d need to be more Portals out there for that, though.
