REG2012: Yes cloud services are PCs. But you need a device to connect to them. If the device isn't up to par then you're going to have a bad time. They are real platforms. They exist so therefore they are real.

REG2012: I don't care about console generations. They are peasant boxes. I don't concern myself too much with them. The Witcher 3 development started in 2011. PS4 and Xbox One were both released at the end of 2013. The game worked fine on them. CDPR started developing CP2077 around the same time. But hardware evolved and changed during that time. PC users upgraded as needed. We always do. We don't whine and complain that a dev didn't make the game work on outdated hardware. Yes PS4 and Xbox One were outdated by the time Cyberpunk was deep in development. They tried to force a round peg into a square hole. They knew it wasn't going to work. Yet they did it anyway. Any person that has been a gamer for a significant amount of time knows what hardware is required to get a game running. If they don't have the hardware to match what is required that is their problem. Not the devs. Which in this case made a port they knew wouldn't work properly.

REG2012: Modern CPUs are not x86. They are 64 bit. 32 bit is old tech and no longer used these days.

KentGAllard: They are not a separate platform, is the point. You don't need to "port" to Stadia. They are just running the PC version somewhere at the Stadia headquarters.
KentGAllard: And yet you proceed to talk about them as if you know your ankle from your elbow on the matter.
Here's the kicker: there are games that run circles around Cyberpunk when it comes to both graphics and complexity - and they do so while giving decent FPS on those same "outdated" consoles.

And maybe, just maybe, the person trying to force a round peg into a square hole is kind of an idiot? Especially if they knew that they needed to fit whatever they are holding into the hole long before they had it.
KentGAllard: Well, you're even more technically illiterate than I thought, which is rich coming from a glorious PC master race guy.

REG2012: I never said the Stadia version is a seperate platform.

REG2012: Therefore without PCs there is no way to play or update games. Capeesh little one?

REG2012: Tell me one game that is next gen that runs on previous outdated console hardware. I'll wait.

REG2012: But I do. Why do you think the MINIMUM required CPU is 64 bit?

REG2012: If a user doesn't want to get hardware that matches the requirements. That is on them. Their problem. Not the dev.

KentGAllard: Sure thing.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, the upcoming Horizon sequel...

KentGAllard: Says who?
KentGAllard: I don't have to, seeing as I succeeded the first time around.

REG2012: You don't even know what next gen means scrub.
