"for testing". I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that input lag is still the big problem. As it always has been for game streaming.

The future will be one where you own none of the media you "buy" and everything is streamed. Horrible. Sad times for power users in the years to come. At least for AAA publishers, who are doubling down on a streaming-only future.

I prefer actually playing a video game compared to watching a video of myself trying to play a video game.
