I have to be honest, the ideas of Cloud Computing and its subscription-based services, streaming on all fronts, & the constant arguments of all it wanting to be mandatory for everything we do, it all sounds like they want to make a world where everyone drops everything traditional that always worked best to them and see and do everything on the only place you have to live your lives on, cloud computing, streaming and all subscription.

This really brings concern to how people are living their lives.

This post centered on the subject may be long, & I'm sorry about that, but I have to get this out of my mind and heart. Now, to the matter at hand...

Biggest being why people still think we have to live our lives through the cloud because they claim its "a lot better than everything else we do and live", but doing everything that way isn't the best way to live. For one, there are lots of concerns about storing everything on the cloud, files, music, data, everything, and they are all still susceptible to inevitable threats(which I won't mention here, so you know) we continue to try to stop. Do people really think cloud computing will replace traditional services, storage drives and even databases? I don't want to believe that.

I think all this drives from certain people that have been placed in charge of big businesses in tech and business management wanting to work behind the scenes to entice people to abandon all that we do to place our lives beneath the electric cloud in very short time. It all sounds like the one path no one really wants to have ever in their lives.

I don't want to see that as the only means of living life for all. A minor side option to cooperate alongside traditional methods? Surely, but not to the point where it has to be completely mandatory for everything. I think those people who think that is the way to all really should have a reality check.

Even those that claim cloud computing is far more cost-effective than many methods should've known the opposite is really true. Who would spend countless money on that when what we have best still works for countless decades? I think cloud computing may get more pricier later on down the road via electric inflation.

Just lately, Google's been trying in its power to push that life far faster than ever by launching Stadia, the so-called "revolutionary" product that's said to pave the way for a streaming only service in the gaming industry, but the launch has been nothing more than a massive failure to the people.

What did Google accomplish in creating and launching Stadia? Nothing but enormous waves of backlash & proven pointlessness. They're trying to make their way into the gaming industry just so they could try to push their kind of message that wants people to drop traditional game consoles, handhelds, and even PCs and their MMOs just to play only on the gaming cloud. They're only a company that hasn't been around that long.

Have you even seen their launch trailer? Ridiculous. Even their writing made the product even more ridiculous than it already is. Placed that in quotes, too.

"Stadia is only the newest, most logic defying, mind-bending, absurd gaming platform on Earth.". Not really all that.

My word on that, malarkey.

"Forget boxes. Forget consoles. Just your games, your screens, and electric air. And this electric air is... Stadia!". How could people forget all that when they're not ever going to be obsolete? Their kind of "electric air" is very dangerous & toxic to breathe in, come to think of it.

Moreover, merely baloney.

"Stadia has the games you're looking for.". More like "doesn't have", cause the lineup's very dry.

"No downloads, no updates, no waiting. Stadia bends time and space to take you straight to your game.". Downloading, waiting and updates aren't really a big problem. Some people just don't have the patience for it.

"Stadia streaming pipeline leverages decades of Google research.". That being only 2 decades 'cause its not even enough to warrant that.

Google really hasn't been here for many decades.

"Unthink the things you think are things. Free your mind, at the one place for all the ways we play. STADIA!". Cringeworthy to the ears at max. Uncomfortable, too.

It didn't even help encourage people to do that kind of cloud gaming more, only to drive away from it & staying to their consoles & PCs. It doesn't even really do 4K 60FPS. Plainly one promise already made into a lie.

Obviously, Stadia's not really the best way to enjoy any game in any device, even mobile. Why, even Google falls very short on its promises the moment that launched. Trying to treat Stadia as the only mandatory way to play games, that's like forcing someone to take a path no one likes.

Thank MS & Sony for making newer 9th-gen consoles that keeps real game consoles around, and may well keep being on for countless generations, though Nintendo's yet to even have make their real 9th-gen entries, both console and handheld. I still think they'll have the true successor to the 3DS family, because it sold very well, and NO, it's NOT Switch NOR Switch Lite.

Disney launched Disney+, its own streaming service for watching TV & movies, but very shortly, it fell victim to hacking, proving more that watching anything via streaming can be risky when you're most vulnerable. Purchasing TV movies & episodes through physical media and even digital downloads to watch offline are the best methods to watch at home forever.

Even video and game streaming services aren't very safe as people claim to believe. It's the inevitable fate of such services to fall victims to such inevitable attacks that could very well bring their whole systems down.

Google's Stadia promised "no cheating, no hacking" there. May not last long. I'm saying this 'cause its the facts.

Programs that rely on subscription and cloud computing, such as Adobe's several programs, Photoshop, Illustration, Animate have been chewing peoples wallets since that company changed their business model to that, & its been tough for such people that want to do art, game development, even animation, with minimal cost, where their pricing's not in their budget. Great alternatives to such programs, such as Affinity Photo, and Affinity Designer exist as better ways to do that without relying on cloud computing and its subscription-based services.

To place it, I really don't think cloud computing, services being subscription-based and streaming only methods are not, & should not ever be, the one and only method of everyone living their lives for endless years. I'm finding it to be very tiresome very fast. Pretty soon, people are gonna get very tired of all this, & stay with what already works best, even we have more new alternatives that don't require cloud computing to do it, even programs.

To make this short on a TL;DR post, I'm not willing to do cloud computing on anything in life, and neither should anyone. It shouldn't be treated as a must-want, must-have, must-live-&-buy mandatory way to do & live life & shouldn't revolutionize everything we have. What we already have from the past always works best to people, and always will for several decades, even centuries, maybe even beyond millenniums. Please take this into great consideration, people.

Whew! What a post. Again, sorry for this being long, but to those who want to read it, take your time.
