It isn't that we are close-minded, it is that the technology to achieve fully cloud gaming is still a few years off, we are definitely not there yet. And honestly I still don't want it because at that point the games cease being in control of the consumer. As it stands it is just a permanent license that can be terminated at any time, if it becomes fully cloud, they could delete the game without your consent.
I don't see why that wouldn't be possible...
You've in the next gen RPG running through a sandbox world. While you're box is computing all of the near field stuff like action sequences and immediate physics, the MS/Sony/whoever's server clusters could be rendering background textures and buildings off in the distance.
The closed-mindedness of this crowd in the refusal to believe there are better solutions to gaming (and computing power in general) is mind blowing...
