 A few television streaming services held out with respect to advertising until quite recently. Missing this revenue proved too much for even the most dutiful companies. Cloud gaming services are unsurprisingly doing the same. https://www.thurrott.com/games/298440/nvidia-geforce-now-free-tier-is-getting-pre-roll-ads. When state legislatures as early as 2008 were passing laws regulating the content of video games because of their alleged harmful effects on the users, governments and private citizens should be just as alarmed with the sort of "personalized," predatory and targeted, advertising. See https://www.cga.ct.gov/2008/rpt/2008-R-0233.htm#:~:text=Several%20states%2C%20including%20California%2C%20Georgia,sale%20of%20such%20video%20games. If there is even an ounce of truth in the "social media is killing free will" mantra, then we should all be alarmed. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9597644/.

To attempt a clamp down on these breaches or return to the early years, when cloud gaming was small, bifurcated into a hobbyist faction and a nascent commercial industry, think NVIDIA "GeForce Now." Both were cottage industries. This is assuredly an either-or fallacy. Recall the researchers at University of Michigan who built a do-it-yourself free cloud gaming implementation, that was "applauded internationally by [several thousand] cloud gaming enthusiasts from Latin America to Singapore." https://project-paladin.org/. It appears then that the cloud gaming industry might be primed for a grassroots implementation of a more private cloud gaming deployment. The success of such an effort relies on widespread adoption, typically by word of mouth or other nonmainstream channels. Leveraging the amateur cloud gaming subculture, the cursor's power to observe and control could be minimized. Interested researchers would be wise to devote effort to this area.
