*Looks at Amazon* No, I don't see it available to outshine anything. I'm sure it will, in a year or 16 months.

But perhaps it is outshiNNing it. Does it have heftier shins than the PS4?

Have you tried a VPN app? Just curious, since I haven't done it myself on mobile. (I'm entitled to, under my VPN agreement. Just haven't bothered.) VPNs send an encrypted tunnel of data through your ISP to the VPN server; so the ISP doesn't even know what kind of traffic it is. They just get told where to pass it along to.

Few people will receive perfect 5G signals. That stuff got shifted dramatically up in frequency, so it behaves like light more than radio. If you don't have a line of sight to the tower, you're not getting perfect 5G (at least in the States--I think the UK uses lower frequencies for 5G, though they're still way more directional than 3G/4G).

All I have on mobile is 5 GB per month. I only use it sparingly, when there's no WiFi. Not interested in paying $120 a year for Stadia, plus a significantly heftier data plan.

If they do the same thing, I won't be participating. The only exception might be if I can stream games I actually have, and which normally run offline on my consoles or PC. I wouldn't pay extra for that, though.

It does by default. I like to decide if and when my games update, so I have that turned off. If a game wants to update when I fire it up, and I just want to play, I take the console offline, and play without updating. Try that on Stadia or online games. Not happening.

Wait. There's more of that "unbridled" stuff. Look at your downvotes.

All of those advantages you mention come at way too heavy a price: you have literally nothing, aside from whatever device you're using for the streaming and the controller. Even if you swallow the bollocks about games being licensed and not owned by those who buy them for console or PC, at least they have possession of the software, and they can run it whether or not there's an ac...

Before 18 and after 65, the government protects them. Anywhere in between, they're fair game. In some places, like merry old England, make that 16.

Every business wants its market to itself. Competition between the different businesses distributes market share according to how successful they are at that goal.

He's a pain in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I get spadefuls of rocks in my face before I can get close enough to whack him.

Although I hate the whole idea of streamed games, I have to correct you. A streaming service doesn't need a full-blown console. It just needs a device capable of reading and sending the user's control inputs, receiving an AV stream, displaying video, playing back audio, and communicating online. Even a smartphone could work.

A turd has a huge advantage over them too. Turds are extremely cheap and easy to obtain.

"Speaking with Nikkei Asian Review, one supply chain executive said:'The industry consensus is to move an average of some 30% of production out of China depending on how important the US market is... Everyone needs to come up with a plan.'"

Good! The tariffs are working. They sting at first, but then we find other places to make our stuff. If China wants to keep making our stuff, they need to play ball, on a level field.

Too long? Can you be too rich? Too healthy? Too good-looking? I don't understand "too long" as a criticism of games.

You don't. You can disable RTX in games just like any other expensive effect. The fact is that with the "Super" versions of the 20-series RTX cards (see benchmarks on the Gamers Nexus YT channel, Digital Foundry, and others), you get better traditional performance, and you get optional ray tracing as a cherry on top. AMD has to compete on price, not performance. They have no other sane choice.

My hope is that they'll realize that in short order, and reduce the prices to a competitive level. With the introduction of the "Super" versions of the 20-series RTX cards, AMD doesn't have a prayer without better prices.

I'm surprised they didn't go down a lot sooner. Their business practices alone should have spelled trouble for them, and then there's Amazon and the rest of the convenient online retail. Except as a last resort, I stopped using Gamestop back when they began pushing used games at near the prices of new games. (Many here probably never experienced used games sold at stores for what they're really worth: half or less of retail for new.) Also, customers were not pushed into bu...

??? . . . Good God. Where do they think up these harebrained ideas? Why would Sony need to worry about surviving in the console space, let alone become . . . Nintendo?! They can't be serious. Did this piece find its way to Forbes via The Onion?

Good to see this great emulator is still getting developed. I don't much care for nested emulation, though. (E.g., running DS games emulated by the WiiU in a WiiU emulator.) If I want to run games from earlier consoles, I'd rather use emulators dedicated to those.

Censorship is always bad. Parents can and should control their children's experiences. Adults should have unfettered access to art and information, as well as the ability to contribute to these as they see fit.
