    I had a GeForce Now Founder account but finally let it lapse as the price kept going up. I also bought into Google Stadia and it was great technology wise.

    I don’t see cloud gaming as a bad thing as a backup, or when you’re on the road.

    However, like everything these days, the fuckers will just keep jacking up the price to squeeze every penny out of the market. Or lock it down so you have to buy from their store.

    This is the real problem. The technology is capable and we could have nice things but these assholes will just ruin it so fuck 'em.

      Even if they’re not greedy, I don’t think the price that it would take to provide that service at cost is going to ever be a price people are willing to pay.

      I agree, I’d like to have the OPTION to stream cloud games in addition to the OPTION of playing games digitally and the OPTION of owning games physically.

      The keyword here being OPTION.
