And I'd like to say this is why yall shouldn't be hating on "the cloud".

I understand its in the very early stages now, but it is a solution for the cost/performace conundrum.
This is the actual solution and this is where everything is eventually heading. Once almost everyone has google fiber or the equivalent their will be nothing holding cloud gaming back. You'll buy a controller and a login, that's it. I love building new PC's but the cloud will conquer all. Nvidia, Sony, and Microsoft are well aware and that's why they've already started building the infrastructure.

PC master race bytches :umad:
This isn't really a knock on PC gaming as I'm a PC gamer myself. I just tend to scratch my head when I see this "You guys are holding gaming back!" posts. I see the logic but it's not really thought out. There's too much to account for when asking for something like this. For me I'm perfectly fine with my PC/console options. I know exactly what my consoles purpose is. I get games and stuff crafted on consoles that I know I can't get anywhere else.

If they went to an iPhone like cycle I wouldn't be mad. Long as all games were compatible like apps. Ps5 games work on ps4 just with certain shyt turned off and ps4 games work on ps5 but run better.
That's exactly how they should do it, but these cats can't see that these elongated console cycles are holding things back.

Go on a year year support cycle. Starting work on a game requires at the very least compatibility with the 2012 machines and keep it moving. It can be a low, med, high cycle.

This shyt isn't that complicated

You just have to hold them accountable.

Apple does and the app store is just fine, if your app crashes in their test it gets rejected and that's that. Microsoft and Sony are just being lazy.

fukk blu-ray, eliminate that shyt all together to never worry about copies floating around with broken games.

Nah breh. The level of fukkery in the App Store is astronomical. Just cause an ap says its Compatable with your device doesn't mean it works right.

The App Store experience is the absolute last thing I want console gaming to turn into :scust:

It's worse at launch on these consoles. You all pay $60 and almost every game launches broken.

Nah, I think Apple does a great job. Most apps work just fine on my iPhone. Worst case scenario its a $3 app on the app store.

But we aren't paying for $3 apps. If an app on my phone doesn't work, I ain't even mad. I just get another one.

The average console game is a lot more complicated and expensive, it would be absurd to start fragmenting things in the way iphone does.

It will be incremental upgrades...you are making too much out of it honestly. There are no big changes under the hood. Consider it an i3-i5-i7, but with an APU in mind and clearly not as drastic in difference.

The OS should be the base for several years and AMD slowly throwing better APU's in the system. This isn't complicated.
