Video games gradually go to the “cloud”: in the next generation, consoles will probably make a large bet on streaming broadcasting. Large companies relate to this differently: for example, Nintendo believes that the time of cloud gaming has not yet come, but Square Enix joyfully jumps on Hiptrain until he left.
President Nintendo Suntaro Furukava (Shuntaro Furukawa) talked on this topic with the Japanese publication Nikkei (translation from Nintendo EVERYTHING). According to Furukavi, Cloud gaming has a chance to capture the public attention of about ten years in, but in the near future, selected devices for games (that is, traditional consoles) will not go anywhere.
Predict what will happen in ten years is difficult, but Nintendo not going to sit back. As he says Furukava, The company should not focus only on highlighted gaming devices so that the changes do not find Nintendo by surprise. In other words, Furukava does not believe in cloud gaming in the coming years, but still prefers to prepare for it – you never know the industry!
And here is the president Square Enix Yosuke Matsuda (Yosuke Matsuda) In his New Year’s letter to investors expresses much more enthusiasm. According to him, cloud gaming will open new options for business models-for example, various options for subscription services. Thanks to this, the transition from the discs in retail to digital distribution sites will accelerate.
In addition, cloud gaming will penetrate new markets, in particular India and South America. Standard consoles and PC have not taken root there, but gaming broadcasts can bloom as soon as 5G mobile networks unfold.
Finally, cloud gaming will allow you to come up with new games that are possible only thanks to remote calculations, considers Matsuda. Entertainment, where the “cloud” force is fully used, will become one of the most important popularizers of gaming broadcasts. Square Enix Already engaged in the development of projects aimed immediately at cloud gaming.
As he writes Matsuda, Game broadcasts will become a large trend in five years, when the world begins to enter in the 5G era. Here you have the difference in the vision of the future: Square Enix says that cloud gaming will be spinning for a five -year plan, and Nintendo gives him ten years.

Well, who would doubt that https://casinofun.uk/withdrawal/ the heads of megacorporations are primarily interested in the signature: pay money for the air and play at any time from any device. No, we don’t need such a gamdev.

In fairness, the game does not belong to you now (if you are not a developer, of course), because in each licensed agreement with which you agree before installation, it is stated that you get a limited license to use the product. And, if my memory does not change me, companies have the right to unilaterally withdraw this license.
Progress consists in the method of storing and processing data. Not so long ago, many of us stored at home the DVD collection with films and hundreds of gigabytes of music on a hard drive, but with the advent comfortable streaming services, the need for physical carriers has disappeared. And yes, all this is also worth the money. As soon as it appeared comfortable Steam digital distribution service, many also scored on physical copies of games. Streaming gaming services inevitably await the same as soon as they become comfortable. This is reality, although orthodox collectors of everything that can always be always possible.
Nevertheless, cloud gaming is needed only on those systems on which you can’t play: poppies, Linux, Ios, what else is there?
Aha, and my pitch! (kidding). But the essence, I think is clear.))
Otherwise, I repeat, I believed in WinXP until the last, but it still became a story.
Why is progress mentioning in such a matter? Progress is what? In server storages where data is stored in the form of games, and where they are launched on a streaming machine to broadcast the flow to the user into the screen? This is so, the development of Stream (which, in general, is also such an innovation, at least has become so). This is not the progress of the level of the world discovery.
And so: the games of the player do not belong, the quality of the connection is bad, the transmission device is also worth the money, the subscription is also for money, and there is still various subscriptions of existing magnates – EA, microsoft, Jubisoft. And pay everywhere … only in the case of the cloud, you still do not own the game, you pay stupidly for the air.
I am glad to make a mistake, but world experience says that there are no philanthropists among the media Magnates.
I see it so.
That’s why hell who takes my physical copy on the disk!
In general, the trend at the level of conspiracy theory: to deprive the user of everything that can physically belong. These are cloud technologies, and digital copies, and streaming services – and it does not work anything if you do not have a certain access right in the form of a paid subscription. Something I am scared for the future.
One hope for gog, but how long it will last?
Well, in vain you are so. The signature system has another side. The mainstream gamdev focuses on the old gameplay formulas, which have nurtured, precisely because they are well sold. If a direct financial binding to the conveyor disappears, and perhaps the inconsistency will begin to expert normally.
In addition, this can now be argued until the cloud devices have become massive and affordable. I also sat up to the last on WinXP, but not to stop progress.))
Better – when the player himself decides on what it is convenient for him to play, but I’m talking about multi -platform, and not about streaming clouds.
On consoles, all discs work on the principle of what I described in the previous message.
SF, as far as I know, has already died even in the Russian segment of video games. I suppose he is on a very small number of domestic. So the mention of such a program in the realities of this dialogue is incorrect.
With gog, really, but only if you are ready to store the installer on your carriers all the time, and as you said, with the hope that he will not die. And the rest, GOG has exactly the same licensed agreement as all the services similar to him, with everything, too:
"The company has the right to withdraw your right to use this product unilaterally without indicating the reasons for this".
And access to repeated downloading the installer will be closed to you.
Nevertheless, cloud gaming is needed only on those systems on which you can’t play: poppies, Linux, Ios, what else is there? Let the clouds go there, and gamers with consoles and PC under Windows, as a whole, do not need.
And yes, I know about the opportunity to play on the mobile phone, but this is already a pervert with a bunch of inconveniences and crutches that imitate the corrections of these inconvenience.
They will take it away. Only on the road. There is also a license agreement for a physical copy, which provides for exactly the same thing:
"The company has the right to withdraw your right to use this product unilaterally without indicating the reasons for this".
And this works without any problems, as an example-the same curling iron, the same Juan-the disk has its own unique key-number, which the console reads when we insert the disk-we block the number with one command-and that’s it, the disk is not licensed and then it is not read anywhere at all.
I think about the PC where the discs have already lost any meaning to talk – and so it is clear.
Well, except for films, I still love to buy physical carriers. The figure has become a forced measure, because the Internet is more accessible than the deduction of this very physical copy to the nearest store, which still needs to be reached. On the one hand, it is convenient, on the other – and let’s accustom the gamers to the figure and still screw the fad in the drugs, where it is right to deprive it of this purchase.
I would also sit on my pig, but they no longer let out firewood. )
This, of course, is subjective, everyone has their own situation in order to justify cloud gaming, or vice versa.
10 years is one or two generations of consoles. One is coming at the end of this year and is unlikely to turn as soon as the company launches a stable cloud
Some wheels without keys, and no, not pirates.
Even the keys to the night of the mentioned Starfort did not interact with the Internet, which created its own many problems, but also treated a lot of others.
Well, and the same gog gives the opportunity to download the full installer, and nothing prevents him from storing it forever until the carrier died.
