I feel like it's hard enough to stream PS1-PS3 games without some crazy lag, depending on where you are and how things are. I can't imagine how choppy and insane it's gonna be to do a PS5 game, not to mention the bandwidth it would take has to be insane, right?

i am a bit of a luddite though, so I don't understand it very well. It just seems crazy to me

As far as your client is concerned it’s a video that takes a lot of inputs from a controller. It knows nothing else and isn’t doing anything but accepting input and processing the video the same as watching Netflix.

So yeah, doesn’t matter from the client perspective if it’s PS3/4/5 level of game.

Now it matters a lot on the sever side. That hardware needs to be much more capable.
