    So Stadia is basically a Google developed Rainway?

    Much less exciting, but its probably where the industry is heading. The gen after next this will be center stage, doubt its ready for full on titles by next gen.

    How do you look at a platform that allows the same flawless high quality artistic vision that was intended on any hardware that can run a chrome browser and say that isn't exciting?

    That makes true high fidelity pc gaming available to everyone on any screen. That's revolutionary.

    Of course like someone mentioned earlier good luck getting an infrastructure that supports it with ISPs blocking every effort to install fiber optic/gigabit backbones, that's really the only flaw I see.

    Also, Chaos for Unreal looks amazing.

    Maybe I just need to see it at retail. So much of gaming to me is console and TV, instruction books, and box art. Physical things.

    The technology is great, and I didn't have that come across. The gamer in me is cautious about anything that isn't a physical console.

    Steam conditioned me to buy digital and honestly I regret buying physical stuff on the switch now. I'll be excited about cloud gaming once the 5G rollout starts happening and Verizon isn't using it as an excuse to gouge my fucking wallet.

    This right here. I used to care about physical media, and then I got annoyed I had to swap a disk every time I wanted to play a different game when I'm conditioned to not swapping shit on pc.
