Why are they pushing "game streaming"?

To stop pirating probably

(((they))) want to abolish ownership for consumers, that's why they push for SaaS and streaming so much

Didn't people already go back to pirating movies becasue they don't want 6 movie subscriptions?

It's much cheaper and easier for them to sell games.
Not that you actually own what you buy from them.

What's the difference between these the Steam one, and PS4 remote play?

Someone should really make a chart

>Pay for your superfast fibre broadband so you can stream
>Pay for your Stadia Pro so you can get decent looking streams
>Pay for your UPlay+ so you can have some games
A fucking PC would be cheaper within a few months.

so you cant own the game, you rely on them. monthly fee just to keep your library, no ability for 2nd hand sales, gee yay

What?

They're greedy

they’re pushing everything streaming
get used to not owning anything

I think he's classing the Steam Link, Remote Play and the Wii U Tablet as "streaming".

Steam in home streaming, and also Steam Link

you don't own shit, that's one of the biggest reason i can think about , they can take your games away in a blink of an eye without a reason. also:
>you can't mode them
>if you say NIGGER they can take your games away
>you don't own them
>if the license is gone, the game can also be gone from the store

Because Google is trying to invade and kill off consoles. Thus, all the console makers and devs respond with their own product that is far superior.

To fully encompass the consumer in a games as a service environment where you actually never own your media and have no digital consumer rights. You just rent access. Things like Stadia Base while claiming free 1080p are going to come with a real world cost like ads and other inescapable stuff. I don't want the botnet in my home.

Streaming is the future. Discs are for retards.

Movies AND TV shows. Watching-media piracy is at an all time high.

And they wonder why piracy is on the rise again.

Because there's a fuckton of money there

After seeing Stadia, they decided to do the same for easy money. Though they'll just die in a few years after everyone sees how shit the services are.

Which is it?

in the future no one owns anything. u just keep paying subscription fees forever to breath oxygen

Game Streaming is the next counter to piracy.

You can't pirate the game if you don't actually play the game from your computer.

They will start making it too expensive to buy a graphics card so that you'll never even having a sense of owning your games.

Stadia is filling the hole that killing flash games left behind but even better.

Games that are only available for streaming would be nearly impossible to pirate outside someone leaking the game.

Doesn't matter. It won't catch on.

Corporations want to eliminate the concept of private ownership. Publishers and game companies will make more money in the long run if people pay subscription fees as opposed to individual purchases for games.

I like that you can stream directly from your console with xcloud. Cool feature. The next step would be to let your PC do the same over the internet without cheesing it like you can now with chrome remote desktop or Steam in home streaming + vpn

Because gaming is dead.

This is.. unironically CUTE.
Petite queen.

Literally "MUH PIRACY". Corporate dimwits think that making everything online can deter the pirate boogeyman.

A 60$ rental service with 10$monthly subscription. Just think of the billions.

It circumvents piracy...for now

It's pretty depressing, everything is digital, you own nothing. I'll stick to actually buying games myself you corporate kike scumbags

This is unironically the future of video games.
What scares me most is that the Hulu model of ads will probably win out, and that these dev-specific services will probably start making exclusive content for their services.
Want to play AssCreed 2025? Well, you can, for only $20 a month. Want to play it without ads interrupting gameplay every ten minutes? Only $35 a month!

I sure hope so, I'm starting to get worried. With only Google STD, I could comfortably write it off but now with each console shit, comes with streaming shit too. There's gonna be enough console retards who go "yeah, i'll give it a go" who end up pretending to like it enough to not stop using it.

this plus the added benefit that it kills any need for expensive DRM

they don't want you to own the product or to play it in any other way other than what they want you to

>or to play it in any other way other than what they want you to
Bethesda will have the last laugh with paid mods.

Wouldn't this just increase piracy? Why would you pay to play a game and not own a copy of it digitally or physically?

you really think it won't catch on when the average person is a complete fucking retard? everyone here can agree that mobile gaming is a fucking farce, but the average person eats that shit up like candy

Because actually transferring ownership when you sell is a product is so 20th century. Not to mention all those pesky regulations and consumer rights attached to such a transaction.

By that time I hope we've got a ROM dump for every old system known to man

No one would have access to the game files in order to write a crack for it. Someone would have to internally leak the game, and you can bet your ass those publishers are going to unleash the blood hounds until they lynch the leaker.

When I first saw the stadia thing I thought there was no way it would catch on, it felt like a high tier scam.

Will normalfags really fall for this?

you cant pirate anything if you dont give the pirates any data to work with

this. Why sell something once and let the consumer own it when you can sell it to them infinitely and not let them own it?

Most revenue comes from MTX and software sales, not hardware sales
So you want to expand the number of people who have access to the hardware so they can buy the software and MTX
This to.
If you look at peak concurrent player base in any region, it’s out paced by a wide margin by the number of systems sold in that region.
So why not just cut out the middle man, have 50% more available systems for streaming than there are ever concurrent players and save billions in the long run

When it's pushed on them by everyone and when streaming services in other media already made the familiar with the concept? Oh it's coming baby and it won't just be normalfags.

Well the games aren’t part of the subscription plan, you purchase them separately like any other platform, and even if you want to stop paying $10 a month, you still get to play your games at 1080p 60FPS for free. The games aren’t the service the platform is.

Your average normalfag won't have a dedicated ISP at home. Guaranteed they will drop it when they see their phone bills go through the roof trying to stream through their iphones.

Less production cost, cheaper system manufacture price.

It's all to save money.

They want you to rent games rather then own them.
That's it.
It's not cheaper on your end because you're paying extra for everything and you can't buy a depreciating product.
It's all money for them because someone who would have never bought the game otherwise is a permanent stream of revenue and will pay MORE then they would if they had just gotten it second or third hand.

It's the soft version of what Microsoft and Sony tried to do during the beginning of the generation.
End the ability for people to share and rent and trade games.
To completely take true ownership away from people who purchase a product.

Which is in every way 100% illegal and can be fought in court. There is a youtube video that talks about this. but I'll be damned if I can remember the name of it or the maker of said video.

1) most games dont require precision inputs.
2) this is fucking google. they've probably already made AI brain clones of each and every one of us so that it can predict our inputs before we even make them.

So you wont own anything

Alternatively, since this is google, it'll be abandoned in two years, tops. They've gone through 3 or 4 videoconferencing programs in the past 5 years.

Enjoy never replaying any older games released on these cancer streaming platforms

Normies have permanently destroyed video games.

>will retards really do retarded shit?
Hmmmm.

So they can charge you 9.99 a month and you never really own any games and then over the years increase the costs so that by 2030 charging gamers 50 a month for indie low budget shit is the norm, and they can add premium games that you buy to stream that are not included in the streaming subscription costs.

Plus games with any sort of timed license like music/cars/planes are already being removed from virtual storefronts after the license expires and your only option is to buy used/pirate

That practically kills all these older games when we go full streaming

SWIM does that with videogames too now that there are like 10 storefronts, instead of just buying them on steam/gog

that is true... but sadly there are already enough good games on the market to hold gamers' attention for 50 more years. Just think about the following: there are still old fags that play heroes 3 and sc1. If new age games suck dick, they will only get the normie market.

To kill the used game market.

Exactly and it's not even cheaper, I don't see why normies are falling for this.
A PS4's rrp is $300 while the STD is $10 a month. After 30 months you at least still own the PS4 and Sony's not going to take it away from you.

we both know that when this shit goes out, rettards that try it will whine that it is shit and thy have to play money to play what they own.

Am I the only one who sees this as being worse then it seems? If this shit becomes popular, imagine other forms of software following suit - for example, not actually having an operating system installed on a hard drive, but streamed to you from the companies servers. Everything gets moved to the cloud, and your hard drive just becomes a place to store temporary files and saved settings.

You only have a phone in the future anyways.
And when internet connection dies like it always does you cant even boot up your phone.

>imagine other forms of software following suit
I don't think they have a reason to do it. The game industry can save lots of money. The only reason I can think of is too stop piracy but piracy has been dying out.

Profit and power. There's lower overhead in streaming because there's fewer physical items to produce and ship. It's also the most effective DRM, if the game data is just held on a company server and never released to the public, it would be pretty hard to pirate it. It is also something the user has no control over and the company has total control over. When you buy a physical game or download a game, as long as it still works and it's not tied a central server, you can play it forever. With streaming and games tied to a central server, the company has power over what you play, they can abruptly decide you can't play certain games. Major corporations and elites love having power over everybody else.

Just wait until they plant that chip in your head user.

This.

And then your conscioueness will be streamed into your brain!

only terrorists and perverts need offline non cloud storage.

More than likely this.

They'll be able avoid time constraints altogether and have a reason to constantly keep games in development hell without actually having to finish them.

We're in the Endgame now.

(((they))) dont want you to own anything.

Yes, look at Adobe, Office365, Netflix etc.

Famous last words.
People have replicated entire MMOs back-ends.
People have made clone-games plenty of times.

This WILL be a lot harder since it'll be purely based off visuals, but it could be done.
That's if it is purely visuals, I haven't looked in to whether they do or don't do some game calculations on the client-end and only do the heavy lifting on server-side like what was planned for Xbone. Anyone know for sure?
If it IS purely visual streaming, you can bet a fuckload of tools will be developed to rip game content from said visuals.
Machine learning is already massively improving each year. It's at a level where it can replicate scenes pretty well. It can't understand them, but it can damn well replicate them if trained properly.

>you don't actually own anything
I wonder what is the psychology behind this.
Maybe when you don't own anything you are more likely to spend more? Is it simply the physical aspect that the things you buy no longer take up space?

you cant mod, you cant own, you cant do anything. fuck it, do not buy into it

It doesn't matter how much they push, because they can't get over the hurdle of input lag. Game streaming is impossible. Literally can't be done properly.

>>There will be a generation of gamers that have never owned a game

and finally you don't own shit so no piracy, loaning copies, mods.

Post the fucking EULA of the game you are claiming you own.

>I don't think they have a reason to do it
The government would LOVE being able to look at all your files if it's stored on some companies server instead of your hard drive (effectively making it their property, not yours, so a lot easier to access). The company themselves would love having you store all of your files on their servers, because it makes it easier to sell your personal data to other companies, make sure your not committing any wrongthink, have less retards complaining about losing files from dying hard drives or an unexpected power surge, make sure people aren't reverse engineering any of their software, etc. Really only free software wouldn't be streamed but really only because it's cheaper to not have to stream everything from a server.

I smell a lot of defeatist shills in this thread.

It will work as a alternative to owning a console, but due to the fact input lag and the compression tends to be a bit of a deal breaker, I doubt it will replace digital downloads.

can't pirate the games I guess

HIlariously the whole 5g cancer scare thing is basically null and void for "5g", aka not 5g at all, just some souped up 4g.
Proper 5g isn't feasible without either a metric FUCKLOAD of recievers for it or stupid levels of live-environment testing, which wastes bandwidth and increases radio interference.
Pre-tested 5g beamforming isn't even remotely possible since there is no such thing as a uniform city. Not even New York.
Then you are dealing with averages, and averages are very wasteful.
Beamforming is a pipe dream at the moment.

However, whenever it does come, it can and will increase health issues.
EM doesn't need to be ionizing to cause a reaction.
See IR heaters. Put your hand in front of a theatre light and see how long you can hold it there. Hell, put your hand immediately below an incandescent light and see how long you can keep it there.
Heat transfer isn't as dangerous as ionizing radiation, but it can still interfere.
5g beamforming is just at the energy densities where it can become an issue if multples overlay.
In places like cities where they would need to be fucking everywhere, this is a very real scenario.
Peoples hands can get burned by putting them in front of comms satellite dishes and the like.
Shits no joke.
How varying chronic increases in heat will affect the brain long term is up in the air.
Temperature gradients in the body have been known to cause strokes, but those gradients also need to be pretty wide as well, as in freezing conditions and retarded enough to put your hands towards a fire and gaining yourself a nice little blood clot heading to your brain.
It will very likely not be that high unless you lived right next to a repeater.

because you don't own anything, you have 0 control over updates, it makes modding or any sort of file tampering impossible. eventually they'll start releasing cloud/stream-only titles that are completely unpiratable because the end user never sees the actual game files so there's no executable to reverse engineer, no assets to rip, plus it removes the barrier to entry that is having to own a gaming pc or console.

Well, good thing other platforms still exist. No one would be stupid enough to make their games exclusive to this, right?

Why not pay $15 whenever you want to play a new game then cancel your plan? I mean, you can finish any new game within a month. That saves you on buying a new console, paying for online play on consoles, and buying a new game.

So basically gaming for everyone but games for no one?

The time is already now; non-brainlets are hoarding their adobe creative suites.

>no latency
you should have written no streaming latency, since you always have latency that is determined by your hardware.

Streaming services just make it worse, as there is local (hardware latency) + the latency you have from the internet connection.

Thats the reason why gaming streaming service never will work, unless they have a data center right next to you where you have a ping with sub 10ms.

Same reason Spotify and Netflix are a thing. People would rather pay a low amount of money a month for lots of content rather than a one time (often pricey) payment for one thing.

>nobody is in danger
What about the ripple effect?

It's cheaper

It guarantees always online for every game, removes your ability to mod the games, severely hinders the ability for games to be pirated or reverse engineered, allows them to update the game at their leisure regardless of the user's preference, makes it way easier to study your habits and sell your info to advertisers, allows them to better optmize the drip feed of hyperconsumerist slop presented to you for the maximum amount of money you'll be willing to pay compared to the lowest amount of effort you'll pay for and trailing offffff finto an endless rant of pain and angerrrrrrr

While there are a few advantages, this means that sharing and preservation will be impossible for any stream service exclusives; games will be gone forever when they feel like it, cannot be played whenever there is server downtime or if the service dies, you cannot create or use any mods, and if a game is butchered or ruined by mass updates it will be impossible for anyone to go back to older versions or host servers for them (see World of Warcraft and how pissed Blizzard was that fans preferred the far better older versions and hosted their own servers for them, and you get an idea of why companies are all over this streaming shit like flies on horse asses).

People are getting stupider and stupider, and more complacent than ever. Until the majority people start give a shit about things (never), it'll just keep getting worse.

99% of retards don't even know what that is and probably won't fucking notice it.

Entropy.

you're still paying money regardless if you're playing the games or not
you don't actually own the games

>make money whether you play or not.
explain

Do you have Netflix?

Imagine having a Netflix account but you dont actually watch anything all month long. Guess what? You still paid for it whether you watched something or not.

>y-you don't actually own any of your games!

Same reason why you can't own a property/house. (((They))) don't want people to have roots and to be self-suficient. (((They))) want to force you to drink up from their disgusting teats to survive.

It also lets them tout their games as massive hits with millions of players even though average play time might be like 5 minutes.

Every publisher will probably have their own monthly subscription service.

monopolies want to leech rent off literally every industry

Diablo 3 stream just some game logic and assets and is still not reverse engineered.

Because not everyone can afford a $2000 gaming PC, and I want to play non Nintendo Vidya without buying another console

It's true though. America's current ISP business model is not compatible with the future of the internet and people's demands to what their internet service should offer.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens when 1TB monthly data caps are suddenly not enough for the common american household.

>Kids these days don't want to own games they dropped $60+ on in the first place

It's worse than I could have ever imagined...

>can't afford pc gaming
>have subscriptions that exceeds it in a year or two

dumbasses

So you don't have physical access to the game.
You can't pirate it, you can't re sell it, you can't refund it, you can't mod or hack it, you can't save it for posterity, and you have to buy the remastered when it comes out of you want to continue playing

>Jew vs jew
Maybe you'll finally get some change now, burgerfriends.

because it will make them a lot more money if people rent games as a service instead of ownng their games

itll happen in 10 years

next question

This
Its all about money and having control over you.

I heared you said "nigger" while playing online. That will be your entire game collection gone for you, Nazi! #privatebusiness #antifa

to make money

Lag will never be defeated though.

it's the future

To take agency away from the customer and have the power to deny you something you paid for for whatever reason they desire.

Aren't those the same people who lose interest in games super fast though?
