@sun depends where you live, plenty of places with randomly abysmal connection, especially if there's no competitors around, making this functioning, which needs to be more perfect than streaming because of button input, and you can't just solve the issue with "content servers" either, it's just not worth it

Plus, if I'm streaming, I'd want everything maxed out at 4K or else there's no point

@coolboymew incidentally it seems that people have tested streaming services and in most cases no matter what quality you want, the bitrate is no better than a DVD from 1998.

@sun wouldn't be surprised

Just imagine the requirements man. If you game on it for 7 hours, it's not just a video file, so no buffering, this has to be video delivered perfectly for hours on end with no hiccups from any side or else that will cause lag and dropped input, for hours on end

It just sounds crazy
