Leaving the lag behind
summary
Claims that cloud gaming cost falls from dollars to 3 cents per user per hour by moving rendering to local GPUs while the cloud runs the game engine, using compression and driver abstraction to stream graphics; works with no game modifications so existing titles run as-is; targets hyperscale clouds plus edge/CDN/5G for global reach; latency drops by avoiding full-cloud GPUs and decoding overhead; prototype and pricing numbers presented as proof of feasibility rather than a widescale public deployment.
