Uh, GeForce Now? Xbox gamepass/cloud? Amazon Luna? Probably more. And if others fail I assume because there isn’t enough demand. (except for stadia, that’s just failed because Google gets a hard on for canceling projects). Now I haven’t bothered with cloud gaming since OnLive. So I don’t know how good any of these are. They probably can be improved on. But to say there are none? Nah.

Maybe. I’m not against the idea. A new form factor could be good… But if it’s just to make it more ‘casual’, imho I find what we have already casual enough.

Plus it would probably heavily limit your hardware choices unless all hardware vendors jump in. If not a lot do so, you might as well just stick to prefabs.

Personally I don’t see the benefit. PC building really is already simple enough. It’s just people’s mentality that keeps them back. You really have to something dumb to break anything except maybe with some CPU socket designs So if they would fix that last pain point we are already there basically.

Would they really? Feels like that market is pretty saturated already. Unless they do something unique with it. But then again it would be great for the steam deck.
