It doesn't make any sense to store cache data on your device because if that's the case the server will need to download the cache data from your device when it wants to access them, which will defeat the purpose of caching.

If you look at entry level devices now and 10+ years ago, yeah, they are more expensive but they are at least ACTUALLY usable compared to the actual trash we had before (HTC Wildfire anyone? ...yeah, I had one of those).
Anyway, game streaming won't get you the flagship tier phone experience - believe it or not, gaming is still a very small consideration for people outside of Asia, most people here care far more about the camera and sound quality than gaming performance, neither of those you can mitigate on an old phone through streaming (or AI for that matter...not that low-end phones can do anything AI related to begin with).
As for other subscriptions...such as? On Samsung phones, I suppose you HAVE the option to subscribe to the built-in VPN thing, but that is so far buried in the settings that I'm certain most people don't know it exists (and you get more than enough to get by in a pinch for free anyway). Other than that, I am yet to see any subscription feature on a Samsung phone right now - if there is one, I am legitimately interested in knowing.

monopoly go... and other amazing mobile phone games now available without needing to install them... Or at least part of it as game will fill your memory with cache data of that game anyway... and as all those amazing games with advanced 3D RTX graphic... I mean 2D candy-crush like spirits weight like 200-300MB so you save space for 400MB of cache data for those hours of cloud gaming...

Is it a cynical business model? Making "mainstream" phones prohibitively expensive, while selling a "cheap" streaming alternative. Obviously it is. But that is where we are today. Even cars comes with tons of "core features" that can only be unlocked with subscriptions or fees. We accept this as consumers, so they keep moving the goalposts further and further into the subscription service lands, where you will never own the devices you buy. They use toxic language to justify protecting this, like you being a criminal hacker, for repairing code they deliberately break.

Anonymous, 21 Aug 2025So you don't have to install them.I know what could gaming is, I want to know what is the possible benefit to that - you'll be draining your mobile data (not an issue where I am, here it's basically unlimited for every plan, but that's not the case for the vast majority of the world), you'll have to be always online, there's the additional latency and possible quality degradation from connection interruption or low reception areas...
I was thinking maybe it's for people with really low-end phones so they can play games like Genshin Impact at high framerates or something like that, but then I realized - how many people with a Galaxy A05/A15 will be spending more on a monthly subscription when they could use the same amount to step up to the next tier of device...if they could even afford to to begin with.
It's a paid subscription where once you cancel it, you don't even get to keep games like Humble Choice on PC for example - I just don't see how anyone can get a benefit out of it.

You know, I get streaming games to a phone or tablet, it's been made very clear that we're so far beyond the point where these devices can be a mainstream gaming platform that it just makes sense to allocate them to a second/play while not at home option for those that don't want a dedicated gaming device like a Switch or Steam Deck (or other equivalent).
...what I don't get is who is asking to stream PHONE games? We're not talking demanding PC/console games here, what possible reason would you have to not want them running locally on your phone/tablet?

What is cloud gaming? Better buy a PC or console in order to play heavy games. We saw what happened to COD Warzone mobile.

Absolutely bad.
Especially in 2025, where censorship laws and ID verification are all coordinated in Europe, US, UK, Canada, and Australia, cloud providers can outright ban or delete your account with very vague reasons.
