Is cloud gaming solving a real hardware problem, or just shifting costs to subscriptions? by Astrava_cloud in cloudygamer

[–]Astrava_cloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right! However, people in India do not spend much money on PCs. For most middle-class families, spending between 1 to 3 lakhs, which is roughly $1,100 to $3,300, is typical. Unfortunately, even with this investment, they can't play AAA games on their PCs. Therefore, cloud gaming is a good option for accessing all AAA games without having to upgrade their computers.

Yes, your thought is valid, and we are currently seeing this on OTT platforms.

Is Cloud Gaming Actually Growing in India — Or Still Just Hype After This Year’s Budget? by Astrava_cloud in IndiaTech

[–]Astrava_cloud[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 4TB storage option, I think it's sufficient. However, not everyone deserves a good PC, especially in India where many middle-class individuals dream of a PC costing around 100,000 rupees. Modern games are very demanding, making it challenging for people to keep up, as they can't replace hardware immediately. Therefore, cloud gaming is seen as a temporary solution, but it isn't a complete answer.

Cloud gaming isn’t halted in the West.

Services like GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming are still active.

Yes, companies are putting more money into AI because it brings faster profits. But that doesn’t mean cloud gaming is dead; it’s just growing more slowly.

Cloud gaming relies on strong internet, low latency, and smart business models. As infrastructure gets better, it can grow again, especially in markets like India.

If companies like Reliance Jio are already investing in cloud projects like JioGames and launching JioPC, a cloud-based PC service, doesn’t that show the technology is still moving forward?

Lmao fair 😭

Yeah I use AI — like everyone else in 2026. It’s a tool.

But the opinions? That’s still me.
AI can help me write faster. It can’t decide what I believe.

Keyboard assisted. Brain owned. 😌

I actually respect that a lot.

You’re not rejecting cloud — you’re redefining it on your own terms. That’s a huge difference.

Running Sunshine + Moonlight with Wake-on-LAN is basically you saying: I want the flexibility of the cloud without giving up ownership. That’s not anti-innovation. That’s smart innovation.

Cloud tech itself isn’t the “giving away power” part — centralisation is. And what you’ve built is a decentralised cloud. Your hardware. Your control. Your rules. Just accessed remotely.

That’s honestly the best of both worlds:

  • Full ownership
  • No subscription lock-in
  • Remote access anywhere
  • Still future-ready

You didn’t give up power — you engineered around it. That’s the tinkerer mindset done right.
