Cloud gaming has been seen as a huge part of the gaming community as it offers gamers accessibility, convenience, and the chance to spend less on hardware. Many can argue that it is not a direct replacement for traditional gaming, but do you think cloud gaming, which needs the internet for one to play games, is one that will change the future in a big way?
 
It's already to a pint, most of your saved games are on the cloud, and more and more games are like that nowadays. MSFS2020 is online based and when 2024 comes out even more would be saved on the cloud. I See the good and the bad, bad knowing that you can't keep your saves or edit your saves as you can if it's local and once the game is down, BANG you lost it.
 
Cloud gaming is cool, but you need decent internet. We are lucky to have fiber, so on-line gaming is incredible. We were also thinking about trying Amazon Luna. :)
 
I prefer having my games downloaded to my console, cloud gaming is no good if you don't have internet.
