Mr Oliver writes: Virtual reality gaming is on our doorstep and I’ve had a chance to have a sneak peek at the PlayStation VR, I say sneak peek because the PlayStation VR isn’t quite complete. Tracking still isn’t one-to-one and there’s still work to be done on the image quality – edges are rough and objects seemed a little less clear than their HD display – but Sony seems clearly determined to iron these out before it comes to market. It has a good catalogue of games, it’s comfortale and almost affordable. There has been reports of severe motion sickness whilst playing with the PlayStation VR so will not be for everyone.
In 2020 the sheer number of game streaming subscriptions makes you wonder where you should focus your energy and money. Are you are looking for a streaming subscription to satisfy your gaming needs? Well, we put together a table overview for you to peruse and possibly see which ones you might prefer, or see why some of these are now redundant services.
Sony just needs to up its resolution and framerate and it'll be quite the service, still don't like streaming though so doesn't really matter to me.

Here's the link from the engineers themselves talking about Xcloud at Xbox London Event 2019.
"There's 2 things.. We are going to give you the games you own from the cloud or the games you've purchased in the future, and we will bring Game streaming to Xbox Game Pass so you are Free to discover and play anywhere and everywhere"

Once again, why is Xbox GamePass on this? Your comment only further proves my point.
The only game streaming services are PS Now, Stadia and GeForce Now.
Xbox Game pass, Uplay plus and Origin aren’t streaming.

A 24-year-old inhabitant of Poland has received nearly 9 thousand charges of illegal distribution of games. His idea was to buy digital versions of the games and then resell access to the account to many people. Losses he caused were valued at nearly $260,000. He pleaded guilty to all charges.
these cretins are all over ebay you search for a game key and something cheap comes up once you click on the post its actually not a game key but rather access to a account. theres no option on ebay to report them
Should be, what does not participate in digital sales (unless something changed im unaware of) so a sale like that is against there terms and conditions
I was wrong, they do allow digital items now.

But I checked and there is still a reporting tool on the mobile website at least. You have to scroll pretty far down to get to it though
not sure about that. i used to sell digital codes from blu ray movies i bought. i never used them so it seemed like a waste. i usually put them up for sale for a third of what the entire movie package cost me. the last time i tried to do this (around 2 months ago) i get message that trying to sell digital copies isn't allowed.
so true. i was always curious as to how people were allowed to do that. now i know - they aren't supposed to.
This week on the Game Deflators #podcast, John and Ryan discuss the loss of Nintendo Exclusives, Pokemon, and TemTem. Also in the gaming world, we can't forget about the Xbox and PlayStation. Microsoft is re-hiring a a marketing exec of the Xbox 360 days and the PlayStation continues to proove why it will be a force to be reckoned with this next console generation.
To round off this episode the duo tilt their Game Boys and play some Pokemon Pinball. This classic game came out in 1999 to relatively good reviews. Does it still hold up for gamers?
VR will represent a huge paradigm shift in gaming, yes.
You compare it to the Wii, and I think VR is very different because of its breadth of applications. VR is going to be a thing. It will exist as an entertainment platform in the future. For really the first time ever, games are serving as a proof of concept for this new technology. Games are proving VR works. It's early now, but I expect VR to be similar to dual analog sticks in terms of their effect on the gaming landscape.
I would have liked if this piece were longer, I think there are some more arguments to make. Innovation doesn't start and end with VR either, to think we've peaked now... The implications of that undermine the very way technology shifts.
Ready-at-hand technology appears slowly, and almost unconsciously receeds into the backgrounds of our lives. To think gaming has peaked is to ignore all the new things that truly make gaming different now than it was even a couple years ago.
I think that vr is the future. Just not gaming future.
With how stagnant the industry has been and with the way the same concepts have been milked repeatedly it certainly see seems like gaming has peaked or it peaked awhile ago. We need games to get back to taking chances as far as gameplay is concerned
Gaming peaked last gen. Since then it hasn't stepped up the game.
