This certainly doesn’t mirror my experience of cloud gaming (gfn) which is indistinguishable from local gaming to me, incl 4k. By and large it’s a significantly better experience than local gaming: silent, cheap, non configuration/setup, works almost everywhere for me etc .

Your article is 6 years old(!) , cloud gaming has gone a long way. If anything , try it first.

Cloud gaming has a latency problem that cannot be fixed because the speed of light being a thing. I play many titles that require fast reflexes and any latency is unacceptable.

Also I muck around with mods, emulators etc. PC Gaming isn't just whatever is on the Steam Store.

Latency isn't great, but it doesn't matter for many games.

I'm on 1gb/s and it's still pretty terrible to me
