    Are they implying that in 3 years they’ll have upgraded my internet AND put servers in every single city, not just capitals so stream this?

    I’m not accepting 100ms of latency, ever.

      This.

      Intention be damned if they don’t provide the necessary infrastructure so people can access this at a minimum standard of quality.

      I, unfortunately, live out in the boonies and streaming a game with this country bumpkin Internet is impossible.

        @Crankenstein @ms_lane not even then, the game has to be locally installed, streaming from a companys server is not acceptable. The only acceptable way of streaming is when i install it on either a pc at home or have my “own” server or service like shadow where i install MY game and stream from there

      I would never accept 100ms either, but what’s funny is that twitch/reaction games are more popular than they’ve ever been. Fighting games, FPSes, Soulslikes, precision platformers are all extremely intolerant to any kind of latency.

      They are implying that in three years, if they have their way, you’ll have no choice. You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.
