    The additional delay usually can be compensated for, the issue is, that the games own compensation usually doesn't work anymore when the remote device to server latency drops below 10ms. Atleast this it what player report that streamed from virtual PCs, so I assume that the experience will be similar for Stadia or GeForce Now.

    I more imagine that the current issues with getting ingame VOIP working across the already established platforms might become even more complicated when more are added.
