"Sony believes that cloud gaming is in many ways superior to the way most people play games today. In a recent patent application the company argues that, when people no longer store games on local devices, piracy will become irrelevant. At the same time, this means that 'expensive' consoles are no longer needed either."

Oh boy, I hope it crashes and burns just as badly as Stadia, maybe it'll finally be enough to destroy Sony for good.

Key points / Interesting quotes:

1. "Games can no longer be pirated as they are today. Because each game is stored and executed at the hosting service, users are not provided with access to the underlying program code, so there is nothing to pirate."

2. "New game consoles are very expensive, and some people (niggers and spics) simply can’t afford to pay for these devices. This would be fixed by cloud gaming too, as muh people would no longer need to buy expensive consoles." (LoL)

3. "Sony highlights some other cloud gaming advantages for copyright holders as well. For example, the re-sale of used games will be a thing of the past."

Not that I give two shits about Soyny these days, but I thought it was interesting, nonetheless. Looks like they are fully embracing the "By 2030, You'll Own Nothing And Be Happy" meme... Fuck 'em...
