Google Stadia will be a thing soon.

Nvidia/AMD have their platforms.

Others are racing to release their own gaming streaming services.

Anyone else worried about the demise of trainers/mods if the industry jumps onto this band-wagon?

Don't know..what i know is internet in my country is ****..so they will not have many users from here..i guess people will buy it at first and as soon as they realise how much lag...disconetions and use of data limit they will cancel...i'm more worried about the price of games. If they really try to push this format they may increase the price of the singular copy...now that would be a **** move and would fuk me over.

If these services (especially Google) succeed on a grand scale, it means no more selling video cards to people for NVidia and AMD, no more selling high end processors to play the games for Intel and AMD, it means no more purchasing games on Steam/Epic/Origin/GOG/etc for Valve, Epic, EA, etc. It means no more need to purchase consoles from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. If you think that all of these big boys are going to just roll over and let this happen you are sorely mistaken. Just recently we've seen Microsoft start working on making their Xbox games run on a PC (which we have already been able to train their test game with no problem on a Windows Insider Build) which means that we will have more games to train and that likely you'll be able to transfer saves from the PC to XBox and vice versa. This concept makes more sense then thinking that you're going to be playing every PC game on your phone and Chromebook with zero lag, in 4K at 60 FPS.

As long as these games that are streaming are still "PC" games, then likely the publishers will still sell them as standalone games for people to purchase and as long as that is the case, we will still make trainers for them. This new service will be a good fit for some people and for others not. No different than some people like to cheat/mod their games today and some don't. We will just have to see how it goes but remember that companies like OnLive have been trying to do this for close to 10 years now with little to no success and very little mainstream adoption. Just because something has GOOGLE's name on it doesn't make it an instant success (Google Glass anyone?).

Am interested to see if it does take off. I dont think it will rule out the current game platforms. As that would certainly kill there other markets that they pull dosh in from. I know I wont be using it. As why should I have a rig that can play my games on. I dont need a service where I cant afford to have one or build one for that matter.

Also I am still interested in Googles AR system mainly cause the vr systems out there wig me out and dont really work for me.
