Yeah, sure. Current sales are not good enough for them. Denuvo delivers, if you want your precious to be protected, so why the whine? It is all about control and big data. Control about what you see, what you play, how you play and munch through the data to make models about the human side of you, hence better controlling you.Streaming is not only about hardware; it is also the most effective way to fight piracy.
This is different, though. This is not only based on people's emotions, but on the laws of physics.It'll happen at some point.
Look what happened years back? Discs forever. Digital never. And look how that turned out.
That about wraps it up...….This is like saying that VG 24/7 is the future of video game journalism.
Luckily, that's most likely not the case.
Zero surprise at who wrote this trainwreck, tho.
The funniest part is that he quotes the rumor about Microsoft and Sony being "terrified" by Stadia and he credits resetera and not the actual article that revealed it (if true). Stay classy, McKeand. This dude doesn't even know the very basics of journalism like giving credit where due.
Of course, anyone who knows the barebones basics or non-crappy journalism also knows that inflammatory crap like "whether you like it or not" in an opinion piece's headline is the lowest of the low.
Money from Google...I don’t understand why there is such an effort by games media to try to push games streaming on us. What’s in it for them?
it’s almost as if they’re actively cheering for streaming to succeed and have all consumers lose their ownership rights.
My man!This is like saying that VG 24/7 is the future of video game journalism.

Hence, publishers would love for older games to just go away when newer content comes to market. I've zero doubt that, if they could get away with it, 2K Sports would just disable last year's basketball game as soon as this year's game released.
I can't tell... your whole post sounds like some joke that I am not quite in on!The rising of off-site computing is unavoidable, enjoy your plastic disks, consoles, and desktop PCs one last time. Yoichi Wada had seen it all ten years ago but you refused to listen. Sure that Shinra Corp failed but it was nothing more than a little misstep of what will become the biggest revolution in post-ww2 video gaming.

StormCell speaks much wisdom, as my ancestors used to say 'even the clouds meet mountains that stand taller than them and must mourn their limitations' that day we pass the peace-pipe many times!I would say the cloud has risen. It will continue to have its place, but I wonder for how much longer it will continue to grow. Much like mainframe computers were the thing when that much compute required a large space, the cloud has taken hold over a space where businesses were able to shed both upfront capital expenses and fixed continual costs for the cloud. What would happen if comparable computing could be had for a fraction of the cost and power consumption? You would see businesses moving back to on-premise solutions.
The cloud is a rather big polluter compared to our physical media of yesteryear. Therefore, the moment we can bring computers back home again, I think you will see the cloud begin to dissipate.

Like, a week ago?When was the last time you bought a physical game disc?

Obviously there are many advantages for the Cloud in Enterprise. For one, you can control what your employees can have access to while on their work computers. This leads to silly situations where I could not access rival company's websites without pulling out my phone and access it that way, while at work. Even though I had to do it as a part of my job. A business would want to control every computer and know what gets accessed where. But trying to spread that to private homes is where the advantage turns into disadvantages.Cloud has definitively taken over in enterprise but is still nowhere when it come to desktop and gaming.

”In 10 years time what we traditionally call ‘console games’ simply won’t exist,” he explains.
Back in 2014, Wada launched Shinra Technologies but it was too soon and turned into a failure.
???It'll happen at some point.

Will 5G get rid of macroblocking/other compression artifacts? No? Then I'll gladly keep living in the past.The thing most people don’t yet realise is that 5G will bring about 5ms latencies. The latency in 5G is so low that eye surgeons can operate live patients with robots remotely.
But will it bring rock solid 5ms latency? I doubt it. Even on a fibre connection, my latency still fluctuates. I can't imagine it wouldn't be worse using airwaves. As long as it's not stable 5ms latency, even casual gaming will sufferAfter trying Stadia it is totally clear to me that cloud gaming* is the future. At my 25ms latency it’s already workable even if not fit for competitive gaming.
The thing most people don’t yet realise is that 5G will bring about 5ms latencies. The latency in 5G is so low that eye surgeons can operate live patients with robots remotely.
5G will squeeze the latency of cloud gaming to a point where it’s less than TV input lag. With integrated native streaming apps on 5G TVs the cloud latency is less than the HDMI jack latency.
At that point people will swallow the inconveniences of cloud gaming - not being able to play on airplanes, countryside, trains, low coverage areas - in exchange for being able to skip the €300 purchase.
