  Timing is important. The enemy is latency. Today you can get below 1ms network latency. But as networks latency has improved, latency from IO and most important - the screen, has gone up. So there is still work to do. You would basically need a custom made device that you plugin directly into your fiber outlet. Something like a VR helmet.

  Another way to view it is that like electric vehicles cloud gaming is not a question of if, but when. OnLive was released when most internet connections were still crummy, and before HD capable computers were embedded in TVs, smartphones and tablets. Despite all of that it still worked pretty well, but at that time I thought if I can run the game on my desktop why bother? Nowadays I don't have a gaming desktop capable of the newest games, so I think about it differently.

    Electric cars didn't even take off yet. It's 1-2% of total car sales and valued like 90% There is also a lot of gouvernement subsidies die electric cars and the range was not good.

  Where is it a "hype"? Opinion overall (users, press, ...) seems fairly mixed - but it does have some mainstream-ish appeal this time.
