If cloud gaming ever becomes the norm, the consumer will have no power left. That’s their end game, to lock us into platforms and extract subscription and when they can’t get more subscribers they will demand higher prices and add more advertising. People who are paying for game pass, are investing in this future for gaming.

Luckily we already have maaaany good games available to download. So even if all future games were only playable on some cloud I wouldn't give a fuck

I'd still be mad though. Hopefully enough people would so that it will never become reality
