Cloud Gaming: Regulatory Trends
Cloud
gaming presently accounts for less than 1% of the worldwide video
game business in terms of revenue, but it is expected to account for 7% by 2030.
Traditional PC and console games will be supplanted in ten years by
cloud-hosted games accessed via thin-client PCs, consoles, or mobile devices.
This has the potential to change the way video games are delivered, consumed,
and monetized.

Data security
Internet users frequently give out personal information
without consciously choosing to do so. The General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) of the European Union (EU) requires that a corporation handle data for
legal reasons that are expressly indicated to the data subject when the data is
obtained, thereby compelling firms to ask for permission to
record and store user data.
Cloud gaming and net neutrality
Sandvine, a networking equipment provider, reported in 2019 that YouTube and Netflix account for 12.6% and 8.7% of the total downstream amount of traffic over the whole internet, respectively. Because of net neutrality principles, they choke broadband networks while not paying the full commercial cost of the bandwidth they utilize. Net neutrality forbids internet service providers from unjustly limiting internet content availability or charging more for high-speed access. In 2018, the United States formally removed net neutrality legislation, allowing cloud gaming companies to be paid commercial rates for their internet bandwidth usage.
