    I despise subscriptions for most things. Movies, tv, audio. The technology to play them doesn’t really change: you could listen to modern audio with 1970s technology, your cel phone, and a 25 cent cable. Similar with movies. So I pirate all that stuff.

    But video games? The hardware really is prohibitive for big titles. I want to play starfield because I loved oblivion and morrowind, but the hardware is so expensive. My pc could play it but nvidia linux drivers are a mess.

    Anyways, my point is that streaming actually makes sense for games. Plus I could play for a month, finish the game, and subscribe and play the next big title when it comes out.

    If I can stream games onto my computer or old Xbone (no reason why not) with low latency for like $15/mo, hell yeah I’ll do it.
