Yahoo has come up with a new idea to increase their revenue.
They have now decided to make a rental service of games that can be downloaded off the internet.
To be more specific, the game is streamed to your pc before it starts, and then runs from what is installed. It may even add more files as necessary to continue playing. This content that is streamed are large and may exceed 200MB.
The game then expires, becoming unplayable at the end of the rental period.

Rental fees include: $4.95 for one game for 3 days, or $14.95 for the rental of 10 games for 30 days.
Examples of games that they have include: Grand Theft Auto 2, Skate Park Tycoon, Tomb Raider.
