I struggle to see this catching on given limitations around the globe with access to internet and data caps. Feels like we're a good decade from this even being plausible on large scale, much less finding a pricing model that works to make it appealing and profitable.

A pricing model wouldn't be too hard to arrive at. The game renatl thing can lways be very flexible especially if the games are made available on the service 6-9 months after their release.

I dunno, but I can't help but feel this is an inevitable destination of gaming as we know it. I believe there will still always be a proper console box, one that you can buy and have at your house and download games to instead of streaming games. I also believe that a benefit of having a smaller "stream box" or devices that support the service as an app means that they could go crazy with whatever that home console will be. The PS5 could very well be a $1200 console for those that want to buy the console and $99 for those that want just the stream box.

this is the only way i can see cloud gaming actually being something good and not anti consumer
