some benifits of this technology, note I did not write this but someone else commenting on this tech:
1) Only a tiny handful of elite computer users can ever afford the cost of dedicated GPU’s this closes off a huge customer base for PC gamers.
2) PC gaming is not doing so well but it’s not down & out yet, this service would kill the piracy complaints stone dead as the game is streaming to your computer.
3) A service like this streaming games to any computer on the plant would remove much of the complexity and problems associated with PC gaming definitely putting PC gaming back as king of the hill.
4) Any crappy PC could be used to game on, no more shelling out for expensive hardware though expect resistance from PC hardware/gamer enthusiasts as this will deliver a death blow to this faction.
5) This is already happening, Sony’s remote play feature with the PS3 does the rendering and the game in your PS3 can be played on a PSP & it does a pretty decent job of it.
