Logistically I’m really not sure how companies can promise a consistent experience with input lag considering you have to live close to data centers. Unless they’re gonna build them all around the country lol. Their tech for streaming I feel is very inferior from Nvidia and Even Stadia at the time.

I think for the next at least half decade, it’ll be a supplemental perk to GPU and nothing more. I don’t see it ending traditional game ownership just yet. Unfortunately the way digital purchase has been so widely adopted, we’re already halfway there. The used game market has slowly dwindled over the years.

I have the ROG Ally and I’m loving it. I’ve always been a console gamer and this finally converted me.

Yeah, it is probably not happening soon.

True, with DRM we can't really be owner of the game that's why DRM free game are the best, and at least even with DRM games in some case games can be played offline, they can be cracked too, but with streaming there would be no more piracy, and no more access without internet and a subscription, and modding would be also impossible.

Nice, I have a Steam Deck and it is awesome that we can play that much games on a handheld device.
