Thanks Google for pushing your crap to DSI and managers that understand nothing to IT, office daily usages and decide to migrate MS Office to your totally inadequate solution.

WTF are you talking about ? VAC bans are only for valve games online mode... stop spreading bullshit like this, thank you.

Is it too complicated to release an app that works with major SOCs hardware decoding capabilities instead of certifiying phone models one by one ? This is even more ridiculous than widevine L1 certifications and support by Netflix and Amazon prime...

At first I though it'll be the technology itself (latency, bw requirement, image quality) that'll bring down this gaming model, but it's actually its own business model that will be its demise, that's a bit funny in this sense.

...the road is long ! Netflix UI/UX no matter what client you are using is a pure disaster and should not be followed but when you're #1 on the market you can do whatever you want anyway... Not to say Amazon prime video is any better (worse actually).

Looks like someone doesn't know how to setup mod_proxy_balancer...

Nothing exceptionnal here and it's certainly not the future of gaming consoles or PC, or a bleak future at most. PS Now and other services like Xbox game pass or Geforce now know the same technical restrictions and will never provide the same level of quality a console or a high end pc can provide for the following reasons: - Latency, even with the best ISPs in the world, you'll have to get at a sub 16ms (for 60fps) latency on the whole chain (encoding & total roundtrip network delay): Impossible today, and what's worse is if you want higher framerate, let's say 120fps, it'll be 8ms. Infrastructure is not ready for this. - Image quality: On a TV it looks ok, but on a PC monitor, even with the best encoding algorithms you can notice artifacts, granted that's a trade-off more acceptable than latency. - Variable refresh rate: Byebye Freesync & Gsync. - HDR: While you can encode HDR infos in video, the way HDR works on PC monitor for the moment is different than what you get on your TV, it'll be a mess to support on such service. - Encoding @fixed frame rate creates judder even if your game is capped at 60/120 fps, just because the encoder part can't really matches the subtle difference in refresh rate of your TV or PC - Mods: good luck with that. - VR support is impossible because of latency, 1fps delay on a headset is vomit guaranteed. For those who think: "they'll overcome all these technical issues later", that may be true for some (variable refresh rate etc...) but anything tied with latency, unless you rewrite physics laws, that won't change.

This is wrong, AWS is not only IaaS and especially excells in PaaS and serverless, it also provides some SaaS, going to AWS to do some "lift and shit" move to cloud on EC2s is the worst strategy ever. Azure also has IaaS by the way.
