Computers started as shared systems for a chosen elite. Even on universities, most employees didn't have access to the infrastructure.Also, I should point out that computers mostly STARTED as time sharing systems. But it was the PERSONAL computer that created a revolution.
Personal computers were a revolution not because suddenly you could have a huge hot box in your bedroom. It's because anyone could buy the box.
Just to make it clear. I know that most people on this forum are against cloud gaming not because of some ideology or security. They simply like those hot boxes and want to keep them.
But most people on Earth don't. They hate owning computers, but need them. And while PC geeks started putting more and more LEDs in their cases, most people moved to laptops that they can hide in a drawer when not needed.
I know discussions like this one aren't easy for this community, but we have to understand that most of the world doesn't share the interest in tweaking XMP profiles. People want to replace hot boxes with smartphones. They want the cloud and they'll get it.
