High in the sky: cloud gaming and privacy

-- By RobertLarese - 01 Mar 2024

 Computer gaming - to be deliberately cavalier, this includes gaming on a PC or a console, or even your smart phone - is something of a binary. All forms may be played on a third-party server or local machine. Consider first the second means. To enjoy the thing to be enjoyed, another set of third parties typically provide access to group-playing, so called "going online," "online" or, simply "on" by connecting local machines together over the internet. Microsoft is one of these other third parties. Bill Gates is happy to sell you the local machine, and for an allegedly paltry ten dollars a month, provide the connectivity to other local machines. See https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/gold. But this type of gaming is comprised of at least personal hardware running the game locally, should the "gamer" forego multiplayer. The twenty-first century heralded a competitor to this local machine plus internet collaboration model.
