       If people were smart, they would instead go collect retro games or switch to board gaming with their friends and family.https://x.com/StopKilingGames/status/2085864441250226544https://nitter.poast.org/StopKilingGames/status/2085864441250226544

       @SirSeanofSlovakia Money probably well spent, though, I think.

       @Dan_Ramos I'm slowly buying overly expensive PC parts over time and plan on getting a Steam Machine for the living room but I feel gamers with less money might start doing things like jailbreaking old PS4's and putting SteamOS on them, returning to retro consoles, or finding other ways to be frugal. I don't think Cloud gaming will be as big of a money maker as they think, especially since these morons can't make any hit new games anymore.

       @stormbringer Rememeber when they desperately tried to get everyone to play streaming games?  Amazon Luna, Google Stadia, etc.?  They sold it as a way to play games from the cloud without an install and you could even play it from any device running their software on a PC, a phone or even a streaming console (no powerful hardware... just networking and video decompressing hardware).  They pushed it hard everywhere (Sony STILL sells a portable streaming gaming device today).  Nobody wants it.

       @Dan_Ramos yeah, eventually they all want to make the move to where it will be the only option. I hope whoever does goes out of business.

       @Dan_Ramos XBox just released Halo: Campaign Evolved and it's not doing well. I think there's hope.
