Long time cloud gaming hater here. Never saw why I would bother with cloud gaming when playing locally is "superior". Also like the feeling of knowing that the game is running off the console and not streaming.
Never tried any cloud service until this year with Gamepass. I travel a lot for work and of course can't take my Series X with me. Being able to play my library of games straight away on the fly anywhere I am on my laptop is amazing.
For instance i'm currently half way through Halo Infinite, I'm out of town for the next 3 weeks and all I had to do was launch the game on my laptop to pick up exactly where I was. No need to download, configure or whatever anything. To be honest being able to play all my games anywhere on any device with 100% continuity between devices is the most next gen thing to me so far this gen.
As a "hardcore" gamer if you think about cloud gaming as something to replace console gaming you're looking at it all wrong, you need to think about it as an extra option for you to keep your gaming habits wherever you.
