Do you think cloud-gaming is the future?You no longer have to keep up with the latest hardware (so it could potentially be a lot cheaper in the long run), and you can run everything at max settings from any old device you have (since you're only streaming the game instead of emulating it on your device).
unless you can fix the bandwidth and latency issues while delivering 144hz, I don't think so bro
I would like to setup my own cloud gaming server one day
i feel like we already had a "muh cloud computing" boom in the 2013 and noone cares anymore
I mean this genuinely, by all means please call me retarded and explain to me why I am wrong, but realistically how is this not just inevitable at this point? I don't at all want it to happen but if even the hardware producers are going this way what hope can we have as consumers of voting with our wallets if theres nothing to vote on. Do we just hope the free market does what its suppose to and some billionaire appears with a passion for physical hardware and opens up factories and a computer hardware company?
>>741556184There's a lot of corporate pressure trying to make it happen, but so far it's flopped hard every time because no one wants it.
>>741556184>so it could potentially be a lot cheaper in the long runignoring the obvious downside of a single player game lagging from your server connection, you now remember that every day time publishers said X could make games cheaper that it hasn't.
>>741556184It's probably going to go the same way as movies eventually, yeah. 95% will be streaming on Gameass subscriptions, and a tony percentage of enthusiasts will be paying out the nose for top-quality local versions.
>>741556821The last consumer GPU has already been produced. Once the last consumer PC dies, it will no longer be a choice.
>>741556712explain how it is inevitableretards like you told me the metaverse was "inevitable"
>>741556950See >>741556924
>>741556950If the only couple people out there who make the parts for the PC are saying they aren't going to produce consumer grade parts anymore, then we don't have an option. Eventually our physical machines will no longer run the games being made and we too will have to get the subscription.
>>741557007If gaming becomes "cloud-only" I'll probably just drop the hobby
>>741556924Even if that does happen, I'd rather just play games that don't require GPUs.
>>741556184It's not doable enough in many part of the world, including even in first world country. It's also a complete hell for preservation and some games even gets more complicated to be developed due to this. And there's many more issues.Unless for extremely specific cases, I don't think it is the future and it should never be it.Many people who pushed it also are obviously in reality trying to push to make everything into subscriptions as it bring corporation more money in the long run and less ownership compared to physical and digital.
>>741556261Latency doesn't matter unless you like fromslop games. REAL games like RDR2 and Senua work flawlessly over the cloud.
>>741556184Cloud gaming is dead because of ai, they wanted to sell server processing to normies and now ai is actually that thing while cloud gaming uses too much resources
>>741556924>le red deeryeah retard, the industry will just choose to not make money
>>741556184>Saving money by removing the front up costs of a gaming PC I'm not falling for your fucking corpo speak. I will not be a slave in a locked down ecosystem where I'm forced to pay a subscription to do anything and pay even more for additional features fuck you
>>741556184It's not going to work and will never work no matter how much the corporate overlords want us to be good little cucks. The latency is just unacceptable.
>>741558564Don't forget randomly getting banned for saying fuck once and also having games randomly removed after a year due to "rightsholder issues" (and then forcing you to buy them a second time, but with worse textures)
>>741556184Not a single true statement in that marketing power point presentation.
Yes, do another Stadia it will work this time.
>>741556712We've already tried it and have been trying cloud only tech for nearly 20 years now. It's not going to work.People want their software and tech on their hardware. Very few games that depend on online only have survived and are surviving right now. A game you can't even keep on your system and need online with a future world depression on the horizon is retarded. >>741556924Bitch China is producing decent consumer grade GPUs that can play the most popular games that are CHEAPER then Nvidia and AMD right now. You think people won't just stop buying american offerings and start buying from somewhere else or use what the software bloat industry calls "e-waste" to build and maintain tech that can play games they want? Anon, the tech-oligarchs have over played their hand and have quite honestly fucked themselves out of the consumer market forever. >>741557007The games you are talking about haven't been made for the consumer for nearly a decade. AAA has been taking money from objectively evil multinational oligarchs to turn games into social engineering weapons for over a decade. I don't see anyone going out of their way to go into total debt to play the top end games or buy the most powerful GPUs ram and hardware anymore. The AAA game industry will die LONG before that happens. We don't need them, they need us. And with the market crumbling around us, they don't have anyone to prop them up anymore.
