      Yeah that’s pretty wild. Guess these will be the hiccups before Cloud Gaming really becomes mainstream.

      The input lag alone is a dealbreaker for me. After I bought my handheld I’ve stopped using it all together

        Honestly I hope that game streaming doesn’t become mainstream ever, it could mean the end of traditional game ownership. And I think that input lag will always be a thing even with better network speed.

        What handheld have you got?

          Logistically I’m really not sure how companies can promise a consistent experience with input lag considering you have to live close to data centers. Unless they’re gonna build them all around the country lol. Their tech for streaming I feel is very inferior from Nvidia and Even Stadia at the time.

          I think for the next at least half decade, it’ll be a supplemental perk to GPU and nothing more. I don’t see it ending traditional game ownership just yet. Unfortunately the way digital purchase has been so widely adopted, we’re already halfway there. The used game market has slowly dwindled over the years.

          I have the ROG Ally and I’m loving it. I’ve always been a console gamer and this finally converted me.
