Sadly, Gamefly has had to neglect PC gamers for practical piracy reasons, but the upcoming service aims to make amends to that gaming market. The new digital client’s main feature will allow subscribers to download and play as many of the 1,500 and ever-growing library of Mac and PC titles as they desire.

“It’s kind of like a Spotify or Rhapsody or a Napster,” Gamefly co-founder Sean Spector told Game Hunters. “You have access to the content as long as you are a subscriber, but when you are no longer a member, the content then disappears.”

Alongside the unlimited play, the new service will allow subscribers to conveniently download digitally or order by mail, pre-order upcoming console and PC releases or purchase game titles. Also, users will have access to a game organizer, gaming headlines and a social component allowing discussion and sharing of collections with other users.

The closed beta will be launched in Los Angeles on September 8, 2011; beta codes will be handed out at the event. Further information and a beta invite can be obtained from the website.

not that I play video games at all so this really doesn't concern me, but they are literally going to post their library of games online and you can play any of them anytime you want??? Why would you ever buy another game?

They aren't putting brand new games in the Unlimited Play from what I understand...just old hits I guess..

I seen Saints Row 2, some Splinter Cell, and a Assassin's Creed game in Unlimited area..then like a bunch of games I've never heard of lol.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
