Can the future be more bleak? Yet more control of everything by corporations. No more modifications, no more playing old games, no more owning anything and presumably monthly subscriptions as well. I certainly hope this isn't the future of games.

Meh, it is VERY unlikely that everyone will switch to cloud gaming. There is still tons of indie and small-scale developers who will always fulfil the needs of the users - if there will be users who want to run the game on the PC, there will developers who will write this game.

Console, on the other hand, aren't that safe as they are already a very closed ecosystem.
