Reject AMD/NVidia
Embrace RISC-V.
(No, really. I'm unironically considering using an risc-v sbc as my next "main desktop pc" for the next few years, and relying (only) on cloud gaming for my dopamine needs.)
not everyone have stable Internet connection. Local game is the best
...are you sure about that? 10 Gibps is about to be standardized all around the globe.
Internet capability in first world countries and Third World countries are totally different. also, cloud gaming is definitely no go if you want to play on the plane (Steam Deck/Switch/ROG etc is the solution for this)
Hahahahaha! I live in germany and the best I can get is 250mbits for 75 € per month. We have no cable, no fiber, only dsl/copper lines.
What was that about first world countries?
OK this is new to me, do you live in the countryside? I live around Porto Alegre in Brazil and for 120 reais (9% of minimum wage and around 24 euros I have a 500mbps fiber connection. But it would be dramatically different between metropolitan areas and a small city
Nope. On the edge of a big city. A couple streets further they have fiber. Here, they dont. But congrats to you having a good connection. Mine is roughly 6% of minimum wage.
Huh? Third world countries are 100% capable to deal with streaming servers with flawless performance -- where are you getting those ideas from?
