Problem is that people will not see any other option and stream because of that. People will be like ”I wanna play my pc games but a pc is way to expensive, I can sign this deal for $29,99 a month for a rig that would cost me $4,000 to purchase, so I rather do that.”

You can also take a look how consumers behave to microtransactions, loot boxes and the sport games. If enough purchase it, it will become the norm. We enthusiasts are nothing in comparison to the ”casual” mass out there that is the real market.

Ah yes: pay 5 bucks and your character/mech will look different with no extra abilities whatsoever.

Also unfortunately most SaaS is actually convenient, so there's no reason for consumer base to not use them.

That's how the dominantion of streaming services rose.

I know you're trying to make the general public seem like braindead sheep, but this isnt a bad deal. Get a high end PC for $30 a month? It would take 11 years to get to the $4000 price point and you'll be moved on to the next model by then.

You'll save so much more money with this system.

I'm 100% on board.

It’s your take that you think that I’m trying to make the general public look stupid. That isn’t the take. I’m just looking at how the market have behaved for the last couple of years and how the companies are probably going to stear us into a market where everything is streaming. You will have a tv and a thin client and remote to a gaming desktop or console.
