I imagine the latency would be unacceptable for any sort of FPS game unless you were on fiber and very close to the data center.
yup, and even positing you could guarantee perfect data streams to everyone (equally), how many users do you need to make the specialized hardware stacks profitable?
can we stream some games? yeah. is it a great solution? not yet. super thin clients and super powerful data centers are easy to suggest but harder to make profitable.
I will say, I tried Battlefield 2042 by streaming it from gamepass, and I honestly couldn't tell it wasn't downloaded. I didn't really like the game, but performance and latency didn't seem to be a problem at all.
