| Random_Matt said: It may have been an option for some users, however, NVIDIA have capped playtime and raised prices. Subscriptions would not take that long to blast past $1000, people are just better off saving up. I guess MS has xcloud, but I have no idea if it is any good and at what price; are all Xbox games available on that service? And I guess Sony's offerings are likely the worst of the three technical wise? |
people forget the cost of the people offering such a service.
The internet/bandwidth, server upkeep costs, cooling/electricity/maintenance/dying parts that need to be replaced... The staff needed to overlook such projects and just regular upgrades for better offerings.
The costs of running such a streaming service, need to be made into profits (otherwise why bother?).
So the users pay for it, and over time, it ends up costing more than buying the hardware itself, would.
Why are investors all pushing Streaming as this magic fix?
It is not, one.
