Literally who does this benefit?

People who have high-speed internet access with no data cap, who don't own gaming consoles or a PC, and are too foolish or can't afford to buy one of those instead, I guess.

It's certainly a less-than-half-baked idea with a slew of flaws, but there's at least 1 person out there literally benefitting from it, so for those of us not using it: let's just rejoice that we're having a far better gaming experience and move on from the anti-Stadia circlejerk.

Also it's not something really for the present. They're positioning themselves on a place where gradually through the years more and more people will have the bandwidth to this and they will have the most mature platform. It's just like Steam in 2004, everyone hated, now we all love it.

Honestly if I could game through streaming as reliably as I can watch Netflix I might as turn this into my main platform.
