Aye, and where would one download this? does it come packed in with the chrome installer for the phone? Oh... yeah you mean spend money on game hardware, got ya.

Still cheaper than a whole gaming PC, buy a controller, download Chrome and its done.

And you need to make sure you're in 4g at least connection to the service... and you also need to subscribe to the service and you have to buy the game on the service to play it, so again.... the gamers who Apple are having trouble getting to sign up for Apple Arcade which gives them a ton of games to play.... they're going to be expected to pay about 10 times that cost and handle additional hardware to be able to play Doom Eternal, with lag on a mobile phone screen. That doesn't sound like a cheap option to me, it sounds like a way to throw away money, up front for the hardware, on a sub basis for the service and in lump sums to buy the access to the individual games.
