  1. This migt be a stupid question, but what preventsbyou from installing a steam clent on the google gaming instance and ebjoing your games as usual? As I understand these game streaming services they simmply give you a hosted windows instance on som poerfull serveres (with plenty of gpu, cpu,ram and storrage) and let you run what you want

  2. Hold on they 20% more productive while working 20% less sorhey where 50% more productive the tine rhey actuslly where at work,if this is true (I mght have missed somrhing), this is a rather imoressive result give the emploies a15 percent pay increae ( compared tonwat they got working 5 day week and have a nice boost to your net result. And ohe ea an emploee that just got a 15% income increese and an aditional day off (or 5 shorter work days) ar less lightly to quit so reducesd cost in reqruring + retraining replacements later.

  3. Well the game was never realy ypurs to begin with, you had an (often non transferable) to use it (other limitations probably applied as well), ok as long as the apis the game used remained compatible with yor os the game maker had no way of remotly stopping the game from working, but what game that has single player is at this point in tome depending on the developers server for single player (steam to verify keas maybe) but appart from that ?

I admit it is technicaly innscurate to say size when you mean capacity, but unfortunatly making people care is about as easy as making the US change to the metric system or even to chsnge from messuring temprature in faranheit to selcius (pesonaly I tend to find mertic and celsius more convinient could just be habit at list for temprature but when it comes to other mesurements netroc just makes conversion between units simpler example one liter = (.1)^3m^3, or 1m^3 =1000 liters ,now how many pints are there in a cubic yard again?
