Yeah I have to disagree with you on that one. I understand where you’re coming from but you can game on high end equipment without buying it. Not to mention the situation with heat build-up in my room. Basically sharing the costs with 100 other users.

When my current PC is dead in 5 years or whatever I will probably transition to cloud gaming (and SteamDeck).

This is how they get you to give up ownership of your games. I’m fine with it as an option, but I fear that one day publishers will decide it should be the only option.

You already don’t own your games.

It’s not exactly hard for me to make “backups” of most games I can download, as the DRM is usually cracked within weeks or months of release.

A single player game that is exclusive to streaming would just be gone forever the instant it gets delisted.
