This might be a terrible idea, and likely would never work for a multitude of reasons, but I was wondering if everyone in the future were gaming via streaming services that way players wouldn’t be running the game on their own hardware or software.
Very unlikely to happen anytime soon in competitive shooters like Valorant where gamers spend thousands of dollars just to get a few millisecond advantage from faster monitor, mouse, etc.
Adding an extra 5 or 10ms of delay would be a massive issue (especially bad if it is an inconsistent delay)
Part of what scares me about React Server Components is that it very directly matches the web down this path. Instead of APIs and data and a front end app, the web becomes a view screen for computetion running far far away.
The Flutter vision feels very similar, treating the web as a big canvas to draw pixels on.
