Caught this by accident yesterday, haven't seen it posted here so apologies if it is a repost.

Great discussion about, I guess, what we know that we don't know about where cloud gaming is going. "6 years to Westworld" is an actual quote from the discussion.
So excited for the future of this platform - and when I see posts here along the lines of "Stadia is DEAD because they don't have <insert AAA game title here>" or whatever, I've come to realize that they just can't see the vision yet - but they will!
Hopefully the linked discussion will open some eyes/minds to where this is going.
I also wonder if this paradigm is what will help us figure out how to deal with the issues we see as a result of our current technological "over-connectedness" - but that's a whole ball of wool that I haven't really unpicked yet, and probably waaaay to deep for a Saturday morning.
Also this "podcast" format is pretty cool - I suspect it might gain some popularity.
Sign me up for Westworld - at least until the robots realized they were robots.... things didn't go so well after that.
