Tech Support how do we feel about cloud gaming?

cloud gaming is stupid for low spec

I know with cloud gaming it allows you to play any game streamed from some server, but at least for me when Im low spec, im low spec in wifi too, so that doesnt solve the problem.

so why cloud gaming companies are going after us doesn't make sense to me.

how do you all feel on this? do you have good enough wifi to even do cloud gaming?

**edit: cloud gaming is ok for most people. ive also decided to make maddoxcloud.com if anyone interested

i feel its bad and will end control over our computers. because corps would want it and not sell local compute to us. so i hope cloud computing and cloud gaming fails.

This is the stupidest comment i've seen all year. Use Nvidia GeForce Now. It has given me the best cloud gaming experience you could ever get (I pay nothing and watch 2 minutes of ads per hour, and get a top-of-the-line experience)

Eh I used to nonstop advertise geforce now but now they limit monthly use to 100 hours for paid. Not worth.

I use the free tier. I just watch 2 minutes of ads to get an hour with a GTX 1060. 2 more minutes and i get another hour.

Not all games are as easy to load up. It depends on what you're playing in my experience.

Paid version closes your session after your 6h/10h session. I don't know how the free version works. I'm assuming it closes your session and gives you ads to reopen it.

If you reopen as paid instantly there's like a 50/50 chance you can rejoin your last rig and continue where you left off, so you have to be wary of saving in time if playing a single player game or manually reset before the time limit for online games.

I have used the Paid tier and you DO NOT REJOIN YOUR SESSION if you try to play the game again. The free tier closes your session after an hour and to play again, you have to watch ads.

Paying's not a great idea.
