I agree that having a decent home network with access to local servers will make a better experience.
They are all trying to get into Cloud, Google is definitely trying, why do you think they are front runners in blocking MS ABK deal? Just for laughs?

Actually the only company that is against the merger is Google and it may not be for the reason you believe. For all we know, Google may want the deal to fail so that they can step in and purchase ABK. There are few companies that can pony up the money to purchase ABK outside of Apple, Google and some other huge media corporation. Even still the question still remains that Cloud as it is today is not even close to being a big market. It represent .02% or something along those lines of the gaming market. The reason these companies are trying to enter the market is because its another revenue stream but as to how big it is or will be in the next 10 years, well if anything it will be a supplemental distribution method more than anything else. We already seen Google fail, we have seen no traction with PS Now, we have seen no traction with XCloud. Even You Azz said you have not used it but you are champion something you have not experienced. I can tell you from basic experience, using Cox internet, that I was frequently running over my data limit without streaming any games. Just with people in my household using the internet for TV, music and regular usage. Now you want to throw full on streaming of a game and that will blow every data cap within a few days. Its not going to be viable as a main source for gaming for a while unless the majority of ISPs drop their data cap limits.
