I mean, it’s not like “gamers” (as in a significant percentage of us) were actually doing something. As everywhere else, most people are relatively uncritically consuming stuff, and only bad game design can have consequences like a large portion of a fanbase not buying a franchises entry. Not like DRM was a political issue in gaming communities. And Cloud Gaming is even hailed as a way for people who can’t afford high power gaming machines to play the newest titles (a claim that has some merit but we need other solutions but that is another debate).

Instead of cloud gaming, people should just save money
“Have you ever tried having lower standards of living” said the conservative to the homeless man.
I am not conservative lmao, also, if you are homeless i doubt you are gonna spend 20€ every month for gaming
Do some maths. How long does it take to save up for a capapble gaming PC if you can put aside €10-20/month?
Take maybe 2 or more years for a decent PC with 2nd hand stuff
No, far longer. You don’t get a decent gaming PC for 250, even with used parts.
And during that time, what do you play on?
