What do you think of this project and cloud gaming in general? I thought it’s dead already

    Well you do need paid subscriptions in such services. Nobody will buy hundreds of $2000 GPUs and give them for free use

      Even the Fediverse isn’t free. Running functional public instances costs money, and thank goodness for everyone who contributes to theirs.

          Well, sure. But the point is that server administration isn’t free and it still requires somebody to actually do the administration. Open source is great, but people have to eat, and getting fair compensation for your effort isn’t an unreasonable ask.

            Some people just want to do good things to others if they can. They get some donations and more importantly love and respect from the community. It’s enough for them, at least as long as the project doesn’t become very popular. Unfortunately many people now don’t care about anything except money so they can’t understand. And the problem with paid subscriptions is more about privacy I think
