All digital gaming was a thing all the way back in the mid-90's, and it is only just starting to become the main way to play games. Streaming services are only a few years old at this point, so I don't expect them to take over digital for another 10-20 years at least. And yea, once everything is streaming then hardware won't be as important since you would get the same gaming experience on a phone hooked up to your TV that you would on your high-end gaming PC. --- I am a Contract Software Developer. What does that mean? I don't know, let me know if you figure it out. <cite>Dikitain posted [p:948097578] in Is hardwar...
