(Real time) cloud gaming only works with a very low latency internet connection, which requires wiring, which leaves out most of the non-city users (and still some city ones).
Not to mention that it's ridiculously wasteful.
- google234123 3y agoWhat percent of consoles/gaming pcs are being used for gaming in average per hour? 15%?
- jack_pp 3y agoI'd say it's rather more wasteful for everyone to have expensive rigs to play games a couple of hours a day when we could share computing resources in the cloud
- 63stack 3y agoI would love to have this, but this is very naive in the current economic climate. There is already a notion of trying to get rid of general computing devices from Apple, Google, and Microsoft. They would immediately use the opportunity to corner the market, lock down everything, and start extorting more money. There is no way I would give up my personal desktop.
- BlueTemplar 3y agoBy definition, everyone doesn't have expensive rigs. But you're right, one shouldn't automatically assume that streaming is more wasteful than letting the resources sit idle... (one issue here is the assumptions about how fast computers are replaced for consumerist reasons ?) (And this would still leave the issue of the loss of ownership.)
