Virtual Reality & Cloud Gaming 🚀

Hi friend!

 

It has been talked about for some time, but these projects are just starting to enter the implementation phase. What will come of this? Hard to say. Some problems with the implementation make us wonder if the timing is good. Of course, this is all about Cloud Gaming and VR. Both discussed and expected, but still there are some doubts about this. It is definitely an attempt to expand gaming in terms of both users and technology. A very interesting experience that can tell us a lot about the place where the industry is now.

Grab your coffee and enjoy!
