    Location and service provider will continue to be the make-or-break factor for the foreseeable future. I can't see the scenario where someone gets some crazy benefit unless they are a current subscriber, and had fire sticks in their house already. Even then, if you are dedicated enough to invest in USB Ethernet adapters to get the best possible connection, you would have setup another device by now anyway.
    What I foresee, is Amazon releasing NEW models this year that will take better advantage of this partnership. This co-indices with MS divesting from hardware and pushing their streaming service harder. And Amazon ditching Luna. It makes for a great bullet-point for MS to list Amazon as another avenue for new subscribers.

    • @ARG
      @ARG  21 день тому

      My current contract with my ISP is over and I will be looking at direct fibre into the house and an increase of both down and up speeds with lower latency so we shall see if that improves it enough for me to use it more.

      WiFi is perfectly fine for cloud gaming. Occasionally I use GeForce NOW over WiFi and I can’t tell a difference between local vs cloud gaming and I play shooters and racing games. Now, I will say I have no interference in my case and I have tweaked my WiFi signals manually for optimal performance so, as always, YMMV. If they can get to GeForce NOW performance it’ll be perfectly acceptable for the vast majority of casual gamers.
      Edit: also, my location to GFN servers might be playing in my favor-but my point is these issues can be addressed.

    1. Use lan not wifi. Just expand your fire stick.
    2. The 4 K stick, I dont get that. 4k = more data to transfer. Why not on fire stick 3d gen or so?
    3. Do not compare this to a console or gaming pc, that's totally unrealistic. Compare the size of the stick to a console or pc and shut up.
    Disclaimer, I haven't tested this yet nevertheless my points are serious.

      Yes, that is why I never compared the Fire Stick to a console but I did compare the gaming experience as that's the most important thing here all being said we have not learned anything new here as cloud gaming is still as volatile as it has always been and is very reliant on network infrastructure from end to end.
