So they want to make their own PlayStation now after airbag months shitting on PS now over game pass.

I think they are right regarding game pass network speeds all around the world would struggle to play most games over the net so local download and play abilities makes allot more sense

Psnow launched in the US about 5 years ago and it's still not available in most countries

I am sure with their current position on game pass that it will most likely be something very similar to that. No reason to release a "streaming" service like Sony's now because that streaming garbage is just that. ....garbage.

A lot of features of a full fledged physical game need to be tailored to that of a stream. You will definitely not get uncompressed audio and features like HDR/high resolution textures that is for sure.

I attempted to play the Now service years ago and compared it (uncharted) the actual physical game and it was dreadfully sad to say the least. Brand new service couldn't even bring an enjoyable experience from a game that was seven plus years old at the time...

I still can't stand the streaming on Netflix sometimes when the quality just drops for no reason in the middle of your movie.

I just like to know that what I have is what I have and not to be disappointed when I go to watch something and it's no longer there for me to watch.

You do know that Netflix is popular for "Streaming content". Ms is going to be "Streaming" games just like PS Now.

MS dream, how can we make it so players are permanent renters and never own the games.
