The cat and mouse game continues... For every, "unbreakable" claim, there's someone capable and determined enough to prove that claim wrong.

Game streaming unbreakably eliminates an entire class of cheats. But I hope it doesn't become too popular.

Aren't people not too receptive to game streaming to begin with due to input latency?

Yeah, that said the problem has become much better than during OnLive's time. Given a decent connection it's pretty playable.

Kinda worried that widespread game streaming will eventually lead to games not being released at all anymore...

this is true, however it all boils down to having a few years with an advantage before its broken, and then the cycle continues. vs if it were non-existant (or broken immediatly) there would be a huge influx of uncaught mice

i do miss dedicated game servers and just restricting connections based on latency; rarely having to resitrct based on datacenters vs residential
