Is Cloud Gaming Worth It?

F5F Stay Refreshed Software PC Gaming Is Cloud Gaming Worth It?

Hey there. I just came across LeapComputing and their latest offering for cloud gaming and workstations. Their hardware includes an i7 5820K processor, 16GB or 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and either a Titan X or a next-gen AMD Radeon GPU. With these specs, the setup should deliver impressive performance. They claim smooth 1080P gaming at over 60 frames per second with minimal latency—perfect for a high-end workstation. While low latency isn’t the main concern here, gaming quality is what’s most important. They also offer yearly updates and a discounted monthly rate of $30 if you pre-order, making it quite affordable. It does sound surprisingly reasonable, though I’m curious about their business model. Want to know more? Check out this video from JayzTwoCents for my thoughts: What do you think? Worth the cost?

It has potential, but still i like to buy hard copies of games time to time and do it the old school way, its a great feeling that you know that you actually own the game.

This would be terrible for FPS titles, definitely not.

Cloud gaming is attracting a lot of interest right now. It requires significant development and isn't a good investment at the moment.
