Only when and if my government treats the internet as a utility and not just a luxury

No, but digital only would be fine for me.

PS Now was alright during my free trial, my only complaint was the selection of games weren't up my ally.

Yay, in 10-20 years

I tried PS NOW but my 20mbs are not good enough so nay for now.

Your speed is plenty, maybe you were having a latency issue from wifi?

 

Anywho, the concept of cloud gaming is great. I was an OnLive user and completed a few games using it. Its the only way I was able to play through The Witcher without significant PC upgrades.

However, no company offers what I'm looking. If Steam would let me stream my library for a monthly fee, that would appeal to me greatly. PS Now would be useful if I was often away from my home consoles.

I don't like them but I think there's a good chance they're going to be a big thing eventually.

No, I only have 8Mbps and 4 people using the net at the same time, yeah, lagfest.

The companies say 'Yay'. That's all you need to know.

idk, I would try with an ethernet cable but it's to far, maybe someday. yeah a service from steam  would be great, PS Now for pc would be awesome too.

My home wifi can't even keep up with ps4 remote play when other people are streaming and using the internet. Drilling holes and putting cables everywhere is not an option, so nay.
Testing it directly connected to the router the lag was still 80ms or higher, double nay.
Besides that, when the internet and even the power is out I can still play games on my laptop. Triple nay.
