Basically all the thread should be about. The tech is not there yet. And this is not in our interest to have even less control of our games. If we are talking future, I want/ hope that there is a way to resell our games digitally like we can for disk right now. This would change the market forever.
True. But this is not as clear cut in the sense that PC already exist. And consoles is still very relevant and the clear choice for a number of consumers. If/ when tech get good enough that having console generation stop making sense we will see games going PC as the consoles, and the work that goes into making a new generation, become useless. But this is for far in the future. Stadia proves that you can play in the cloud. But Nintendo proves that the games are the most important. And they can stay relevant AND very profitable with games that are far behind the tech we have in PS5 and Xbox. I can see Sony continue to make consoles until they found that they can make their AAA in common PCs, or that the Cloud become a demand from consumers worldwide. Microsoft may want this to happen earlier. But they are not wanting that for us, but for them. And after the Xbox one fiasco we know that they will fuck up the market at the first occasion if they can. So why be for something that has no interest outside of a small increase in comfort? Great games can already be made in weak PCs when you see Horizon and GOW Ragnarok. So we can already have them in PCs instead. Wanting to go to cloud, unless games would gain something from it, like the
Google rumors of extended interactivity, is not logical to me. Not until the tech is even better. And the internet providers can follow with a good service.
