Yeah. Take-Two CEO is a dumbass for the logistical reasons alone. Good-enough-to-stream-games internet is more rare than household VR headsets. There is not enough market to support this industry at the scale required to make it financially viable.

lmao, good fucking luck realizing this without massive expenditures in infrastructure. In the US, internet is basically shit everywhere i’ve ever lived, I’ve never been able to even stream from my own PC to my phone without the experience being excruciating and unplayable on anything that wasn’t turn based.

Not in America at least, which is a problem given that America is the single biggest market in the world.

That might no longer be the case after another two-and-a-half years of Trump.

That’s mainly because upload speed is capped much lower than download speed. That’s reversed if you’re streaming from a service though. Still a shit idea either way, hell the streaming services of several years went under in what a year or two.

they don’t care… they want people to pay for shit service to then upgrade to the less shit service to have its terms change without your consent or prior knowledge to the more expensive service that requires some other shit or specific hardware… which will also be shit.
