@scottalanmiller I believe Jared and I talked about this once and he reminded me that there were 1-3 maybe that did not get released here.
FF has a total of 15 releases.
All fifteen are available right now, not just historically. Two on Android, thirteen on PC.
He’s thinking about DragonQuest.

Google product. That means I don't have faith that they will stand behind it. Other than search and Earth, they've yet to make a product I think meets basic quality standards and/or remains long enough to be viable. Their churn and burn app testing process is great of incubating ideas, but means that anything that they release should be viewed as a tech demo, not a viable product.

In the mean time, you can try Vortex (https://vortex.gg) to get an idea of how it may work. I know there's one or two others, but I can't find my links to them now.

Liquid Sky is another, the market is pretty full of them. But I know how it may work... shitty. Even good WANs get laggy and no service can compensate for that. The concept is just idiotic IMO.

That's the other one, Liquid Sky!
I don't think the concept is idiotic. I had (at the time) a modest 30 meg cable connection and Vortext played "The Witcher" surprisingly well. I can't remember if it was Liquid Sky where I played WoW or Vortex, but also did well.
I think people do, however, need to set their expectations accordingly. You're not going to get 1080p @ 30 FPS on a DSL connection.

@wirestyle22 is friends with those guys.

That you can make it work doesn't make it sensible. I expect that it mostly works fine. What doesn't work is the whole concept. Sure it "can" work.. but why would we care?

Right, the expectation has to be that the game will "work", but will cost too much and perform poorly. Um.... so given the proper expectations, my point is made.

Yeah I think point-in-time you are correct. If they can bring costs down significantly (assuming it's in the same vein as liquidsky pricing wise) it may make more sense
-
@wirestyle22 I think that they will struggle for a long time to get the price low enough to work because the cost of their competition drops along with their costs. But the problems of the WAN won't go away, so as cost drops, the WAN issue actually gets worse rather than better because the value to avoiding it minimizes.
In an age when gaming over the LAN isn't good, that we are talking about going to WAN is pretty silly.
