I can't imagine waiting in a queue to play a single player game.

Yeah that’s pretty wild. Guess these will be the hiccups before Cloud Gaming really becomes mainstream.
The input lag alone is a dealbreaker for me. After I bought my handheld I’ve stopped using it all together
Honestly I hope that game streaming doesn't become mainstream ever, it could mean the end of traditional game ownership. And I think that input lag will always be a thing even with better network speed.
What handheld have you got?
Traditional game ownership already ended once after the popularization of digital downloads, but you're right, it could end all over again in an even more dire way if cloud gaming gets popularized as well.
Having a queue to play a single player game is more and more common each year. Most recently with Diablo 4 DRM. 😪
As for Game Pass having a longer queue might be a good thing for the future of Game Pass in general. More people using the service. 🤔 maybe...
