It all depends on what you're looking for in your gaming. I rarely replay old games. I'm often on the go, and don't really want to spend the money on a high end gaming rig nor a console at home. So from my non-gaming laptop I can hop on Xbox Cloud Gaming and play recent games in high quality pretty much anywhere. I've been able to play on cafe wifi, tethered to my phone, on wifi around the house, loads of places. And after finding the subscription on a sale its cheaper than buying even two new games a year.
If you're the kind of gamer who does love having a collection of old games you go back to, then yeah its pretty terrible.
- ryandrake 3y agoDefinitely depends on how you approach gaming. To me, gaming is something you have dedicated gear for, set aside dedicated time for, sit down somewhere comfortable, remove all distractions, turn down the lights, and so on, like watching a movie. The idea of playing a game "on the go" is as ridiculous to me as watching a movie "on the go" (or, really doing anything on the go--when I'm going somewhere, that's what I'm doing, I'm not doing something else). To others, I guess picking up a casual game in a cafe might be interesting... Maybe they're a great target market for Cloud Gaming, I dunno. I sure am not!
