are you really comparing video to executable code?
- Hamuko 6y agoAm I comparing streaming video to streaming video? Why yes, I am.
- zepto 6y agoYou keep repeating this, but at this point it’s hard to imagine that you really see no difference in either the technology or the experience between what Netflix does and what xCloud does. Do you really not see that there is a difference between watching a movie, and controlling a remote video console which is playing a fully interactive video game?
- jolux 6y agoThere’s a difference but it’s relatively pedantic. Netflix has interactive shows and the play/pause is necessarily controlling a remote server as well.
- zepto 6y agoIt’s not pedantic to say that movies and videogames are different. Most people in the world would think you insane if you said you perceived them to be the same thing.
- jolux 6y agoYou’re misreading me. I’m saying that the technological distinction does not justify the policy distinction. I don’t at all believe they’re the same thing. The comments you’re replying to suggest that executables are being streamed or something, and they’re not.
- jolux 6y agoIt doesn’t download executables, it streams your inputs to a server which streams synced AV back.
