@the_white_wolf @wiredfire it's understandable. I don't like to lose the power to run what I want, how I want locally either.

But I also recognise that there will be some gaming or metaverse experiences that will only ever be achievable on the cloud.

A world that lets you interact not only with other players but also potentially with 1000s of AI-driven NPCs that pass the Turing test will not be achievable entirely locally.
