Cloud gaming is the future according to Sim's creator Will Wright. In a recent interview with GamesIndustry, The Sims creator Will Wright said that cloud gaming will be the future of the industry. That's because consumers typically own more than one Internet-connected gadget: a desktop PC, a laptop, a console, a smartphone and/or a tablet
..................."I think you should listen to the market," he said. "But a lot of times with a brand new experience, when you start describing it to people before they can experience it they'll say it plum, or 'we've never seen anything like it so we can't really envision playing it in our head'. I think there's still a lot of room for someone with an artistic vision that's not going to survive focus groups, but if a person holds true to that vision you're going to end up with something that wouldn't exist otherwise."..................................

He has the point it's the future for every thing, but doesn't mean I'm going to go along with it. There are many days I am annoyed because I have to use the internet to do something. When I could have simply did something (maybe even faster) the old way of doing something. I really get annoyed when something I used or did is online only now, or I can't buy or I can't send, or I can't pay, or I can't find out something because someone, somewhere moved it to the internet. Know what I mean? There are days I think about just unplugging myself and world from the whole darn concept of internet but I would run into a road block where I would have to go online to do something. Some days I just want to scream 'stop the madness' and give me back choices, no matter what it is. (ETA: one annoying sample, when I changed routers I could only monitor my router and set up if I download the app on my phone, no pc could be used to get on their site to set it up, that made me want to bite nails in two.)
