I don't know the word "grave".

Isn't that a reductive view of the skepticism aimed at this technology?Sinclair Gregstrum wrote: ↑March 20th, 2019, 9:39 am Yes the quality will fluctuate depending on your internet connection, but as other people have already highlighted most people won't care that they're not getting 4K 60fps, they'll just be happily playing great games on whatever screen they like while tech pedants grumble into a void.
Does it qualify as "growth and development" if it ends up being a "one step forward, one step back"- type of situation, though? Yes, it is nonsensical to dismiss entire concepts sight unseen simply because that's not what you're used to. But it's also nonsensical to frame the latest and shiniest developments as automatically superior just because they're new.Sinclair Gregstrum wrote: ↑March 20th, 2019, 9:39 am People railing against the growth and development of gaming just because it doesn't fit their narrow view of what it should be, is nonsensical to me. I understand why it's happening, but it's nonsensical all the same.
Oh, absolutely. (And you weren't being dismissive, don't worry.) But like I said last page, I agree that most genres wouldn't suffer from this in any meaningful way. If I had to guess, I'd say that roughly 80% of games would probably work as intended on a streaming interface. But that still leaves a big chunk of games that will always have a home on dedicated platforms.Craig wrote: ↑March 20th, 2019, 12:30 pm I wouldn’t really describe it as tech pedantry (and apologise if it came off as dismissive), and I’d agree a lot of those issues are really important to a lot of people. Fighting games would suffer particularly. But if you look at the biggest games around, your Minecrafts and Fortnites, they already have sub par mobile versions with sub par control schemes that are wildly wildly popular and lucrative.
