I’ve yet to stream a game from a device to another without being annoyed by latency and compression artifacts.

It’s been ok enough for games like Civilization etc. but generally it’s just shit. The hardware just isn’t there yet.

“Secretly”

On the other hand I can now do things I couldn’t before, so it’s a double edged shotgun.

You think the customers would be happy paying 1500$ in US vs 1000$ simply by stepping outside US borders?

Trumps shit tariffs will be gone soon enough, hopefully with him.

Using 1080 to minimize latency already. Can play leisure platformers, but playing racing games like Wreckfest, you just lose all feel for the car since tapping the controller applies the change with too much delay.

Hardwiring would be the only way. That’s why I’m gonna build a steam os pc for the living room once it’s feasible.

BT would work if my PC was in range, then the input would be fast, but still the added image latency makes micro adjustments pain since you see them late, still.

Running a DP cable instead of streaming would fix that, but you’d need a converter to transform into HDMI for the TV.

HDMI over long distance doesn’t work.

1: Ah, I didn’t do any console gaming from around 2009 to 2015, didn’t realize it was that bad

2: Works for some games. I play lots of driving and fast paced games, and the input latency from streaming just plain makes them unplayable.

Exclusives sadly still exist and it bums me out a game is available on Console X but not on Y. Some of those I could buy for my PC, but I prefer playing on my comfy couch instead of the PC in my home office.

Then it becomes spite, and I stop buying the studios games altogether (looking at you, Square Enix)
