You can create a thumbnail with two very distinctly different responses with “Both are correct” on the thumbnail, and people still think you’re arguing to be nice to fascists because they didn’t get through the first 2min of a video 😑

Not at all. The awareness that I'm playing a less than ideal version when I can just play the actual thing off a hard drive is enough for me to ignore all cloud gaming.
