Local-hardware Memes

When cloud gaming tries to convince you to stop hoarding your local hardware like a dragon guarding treasure. The choice is simple: surrender your gaming rig to the latency gods and pray your ISP doesn't hiccup during a boss fight, or draw 25 cards and keep your dignity intact. Most gamers would rather build a deck the size of a small library than trust their 144fps experience to some data center three states away. Input lag? Compression artifacts? Subscription fees? Yeah, I'll take the entire deck, thanks.
