Reject AMD/NVidia
Embrace RISC-V.
(No, really. I'm unironically considering using an risc-v sbc as my next "main desktop pc" for the next few years, and relying (only) on cloud gaming for my dopamine needs.)
not everyone have stable Internet connection. Local game is the best
...are you sure about that? 10 Gibps is about to be standardized all around the globe.
Also 10gibps doesn't say anything about the latency, which is what makes me avoid cloud hardware steaming
No, but we are talking about a STREAMING service. Which means, an ISP would have to be beyond terrible if it couldn't provide decent streaming performance under an 10 Gibps connection. Which thankfully, is not the case even for Africans, Nigarians or any other "sub third-world country."
What? No, games arent just "streaming", the time between you seeing stuff and and the server processing your inputs reacting to this new state of the game should be short, you can easily do this with a 500mbps connection with low latency but will not work with a 10gbps with 200 ping.
Additionally, if you have a spotty 10gbs connection, you'll still have a bad experience. The maximum capabilities of something doesn't define how it can be used in the real world. I'm not denying some people can use it just fine, but it's not mainstream for a reason.
