The gaming PC days are NUMBERED! - Shadow Tech Facility Tour

im watching this on a shadow...

4 years later this sophisticated company gets hacked by some kid with one of the simplest pieces of malware and gives away info of 500k+ customers. Lmfao

A bit of an update on the service, they don't notify you when your service isn't paid, they just delete your service and everything you have on the Shadow.

Service is abysmal, and noone seems to work in their customer service department.

Save your money, look into alternatives, they are cheaper and more reliable.

Use it, love it!

I recall in the 1970's (I was 10) a network of 'dumb' business terminals in a building with one computer processing them all was called the 'round robin' system. It became obsolete when the number of users exceeded the computers ability to serve them all in a reliable manner. Hence stand alone and faster 'business/personal' desktop PC's has been the norm since. This 'new' server based gaming may work providing the number of users does not greatly exceed the systems ability. If Shadow fails to invest in expanding and improving it's hardware to keep pace with demand then that 1970's failing is guaranteed.

Highlighting that they’re using BGP for routing is on the same level as telling someone you use Electricity to power the server.

We all know how this didn't work out

four years later

all of this assumes you got internet speeds that arent still stuck in the dialup ages.

he should do an update on where this is now

I wonder how this company is doing now (post stadia mortem).

"This is a Shadow Ghost blah blah marketing jargon"
That's a Raspberry Pi with a breakout board. I can smell that port layout from a mile away

Can someone please explain why his computer takes 91 ms to change the color on space click (without the shadow client) ? That seems very long. I mean ping with good connection is 5 ms, where is the rest going.

Can we get a follow-up on this video/company and service?

I also would like to pay subs for my jeans instead of one time payment upfront. Ummmm yes yes

Steamdeck going strong

you can't cheat physics. anyway I'm glad google launched stadia it's a good service and I use it everyd oh wait no i don't.

Dont cry

This is stupid

Worst idea

I bought a cheap touch screen laptop with just enough ram to start shadow pc. Never looked back I dont even have to check my specs to see if I can run a game. I know it will run. The only thing I worry about is my internet connection

How's this going for them?

Sooo should i quit paying 100$ every 6 months on geforce now? i really like the sound of having a actual desktop, and shadow seems to be really good ive seen.

Why would I rent a pc when I can buy one and keep access to everything no matter what

can you mine bitcoin or download a virus?🤣

If they for some reason decide to expand in latinoamerica, I can see this getting a little bit popular. Here the inflation makes building PCs crazily expensive, and something like this could help a lot, not only for gaming, but for people in need of a pc, but without the resources to actually buy one.

I've used Shadow before, and I found their service to be more really good. Aside from internet issues on my end I have no complaints...Well, excpet when the mouse ursor disappears whenever I touched the screen. THAT was annoying.

Is it really good business in the States to pay monthly for a subscription, instead of buying a powerful computer in lots of installments?

been using it for 3 months before getting my gaming pc. its absolute dogshit stay away

"you'll own nothing and be happy"

Linus is such a sell out shill for any sort of penny this dude will literally do anything. Zero integrity. Sad so many dumb idiots follow him.

Could we get an update on this company four years later?

good luck using one for gaming from some were like new zealand i get a ping of 100+ on a good day now try playing a
game on that as well as vr gaming

Uhhh. Howabout "NO Thanks"? I will never play on any "Cloud Pc Gaming Service" I don't care how expensive the hardware gets or if they even make owing Pc hardware illegal, I never will.

this shit is a scam the audio is shitty don't buy please

Linus, any way you can make a 2022 update to this?!? With the crazy prices for computer hardware it would be awesome to see how this performs now on newer more demanding games. Also since they were bought out by one of the biggest cloud computing companies in the world I'd love to see how it performs!

so stadia before stadia?

this didnt age well with shadow costing 2x as much as much

@linus please continue to cover shadow! I joined up when you posted about them! And they’ve come so far! With some big pros! And cons! 😅

Okay everybody before you laugh at the Mac user hear me out: You must’ve heard about the M1 right. If they packed even just entry tier Mac mini’s into their server farm you could probably get your Dark Sky widget back on your android and you could run exclusive iPhone apps on any device. Now the exclusive part sounds a bit much, but just think, you wanna stream Clash Royale right from your TV or maybe a presentation from the lightweight version of Google Drive. You’ve got it

Aaaand its gone

BLOODY SCALPERS!

That jarjar blanket has serious cum stains I’m sure.

A 1k new-used mixed gaming PC in 5yrs is worth 500, then every 5yrs. The extra for higher end broadband plus the subscription works out 2-4x more, and you won't have a PC

I am sorry. Subor Z+ is your maximum.

And bankrupt they go

As most of the world isn't connected to high speed internet, I retired to the Philippines where internet is questionable, going to need gaming rigs for a long time yet.

Is this company still around??
