Anyone?

I can imagine no one has tried it yet because for the most part, internet sucks in Canada.

A Roku stick might be the future of gaming. All it does is accept input from a wireless controller, sends it to their dedicated 1500 watt machine which does all the visual processing, and a few milliseconds later they encode it and send it back to you as a 1080p (or 4K stream later on)

Arguably, it could surpass the visual quality of anything you would ever buy and place on your own desktop.

Just like now Netflix killed DVD and will eventually kill Bluray.

The lag is unbearable. Has nothing to do with "internet sucks in Canada". It doesn't. Streaming games have perceivable lag in a local network. Over the internet, even if you're sitting on google fibre in the US, it's unplayable.
