    Yeah I have to disagree with you on that one. I understand where you’re coming from but you can game on high end equipment without buying it. Not to mention the situation with heat build-up in my room. Basically sharing the costs with 100 other users.

    When my current PC is dead in 5 years or whatever I will probably transition to cloud gaming (and SteamDeck).

      This is how they get you to give up ownership of your games. I’m fine with it as an option, but I fear that one day publishers will decide it should be the only option.

          It’s not exactly hard for me to make “backups” of most games I can download, as the DRM is usually cracked within weeks or months of release.

          A single player game that is exclusive to streaming would just be gone forever the instant it gets delisted.
