    Other situations:

    • You’re on a mobile device, with a controller
    • You’re on a Steam Deck and wanted to play a Game Pass game
    • You heard of a cool game but you don’t want to download its 80 GB when you don’t know if you’ll like it
    • You want to complete a game pass quest, which means playing a game for 30 minutes then uninstalling it

        I mean…yes. It is “not ideal”.

        To many people, anything other than 240hz monitors running on an overclocked quad GTX 4080 is “not ideal”.

        It’s an option for convenience in a world where many people have less than ideal circumstances, not a totalitarian push for cloud control. XCloud was only ever advertised as an extra feature, not some prime method of game delivery.

        @Colorcodedresistor @Katana314 I agree with you. I tried streaming games using Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Network and it was all very laggy and sub par. If streaming games were the only way I could play games I would rather just go touch grass. I have and will most certainly build a PC just to play one game because I love video games and I will not settle for less.
