A lot of rapid tech developments have really overwhelmed us as a consumer.
-We have ever advancing hardware that keeps evolving. Which game devs adapt quickly, forcing gamers to keep their system up to date, hardware wise.
-We have the enthusiast level where 4K-1ms monitors, G-Sync, Oculus etc tech give a whole new meaning to gaming. 1024x768 resolution dominated gaming for over a decade. Then came 1080p for some years but now all of a sudden ultra resolution has taken over. Only constraint here is that they're not friendly on the wallet.
-And now you have G.Stadia. I think its prime benefit for gamers will be during travel where they can just use a portable machine to play graphically intensive games.
