> I think greed is a major reason why those services don't take off. Why, they did take off. There are several active remote play services in different countries. As I said, those are serving niche audience and there's no demand for them to grow any further. > What the users want would be to have a gaming PC in the cloud - same experience as their own gaming PC but without the cost of ownership/maintenance and burden of physically having the machine and moving it. I agree, but this is technically unachievable. Local connection will always have more hassle free bandwidth than a remote one. So, what happens in reality, the users trade the cost of their gaming PC ownership/maintenance (which is pretty affordable in case of game consoles) for cost of maintaining high speed and high reliability internet connection.
