New article: https://www.exclusivelygames.com/emulation-a-post-mortem/
Det. Bullock:
Cloud gaming is basically born dead, unless they give the best fiber to everyone they are going to sell only to the population of a few big cities and even then I wouldn't discount control lag problems. Probably retrogames might be more viable because you could basically download it on your device with some DRM added on thus not really being "streaming" but at that point it would basically be Steam.

Sorry for the late reply. But yep, agreed. I notice antstream is running ads on YT now. That might be worth a look one day, although I already have all the ROMs I want. (Just don't tell 'the man' :p )
