At this point you might as well stream the game video, it would be less bandwidth.
This guy just invented Google Stadia (and GeForce Now I think)
Nobody remembers OnLive...
I remember OnLive. I was waiting for it to become usable, then...nothing.
Steve Perlman sure does

Doesn't it already run on Gamepass xCloud whatever they call it?
It wouldn't be as responsive though.
Just fly Boeing in game. It's a more authentic experience that way.
If you have small data caps, it may even be cheaper.
Don't have to render doors if they've fallen off
I was thinking more of uninstalling this 81 GB/hour game and enrolling in flight school (if you have data cap overage fees). But I like the way you think!
If the experience you're after is a near death experience, sure.
Well they do have the whistleblower expansion pack too if flying the plane isn’t near death enough for ya
Ah yes, the Flight Simulator and Hitman crossover expansion.
It's hardly Counterstrike.
Exactly - People don't seem to realize that cloud gaming responsiveness only really matters in competitive games and shooters. Turn based games or more casual games run perfectly fine with fast Internet.
Well if you think it works well there is nothing stopping you for streaming the game with xcloud.
Imo experience the bitrate and latency is pretty poor even with gigabit internet.
