    I was unfamiliar with Boosteroid, certainly an interesting concept.

    Question about Boosteroid, sorry if it's a dumb question, because I'm definitely interested, are you able to earn achievements in Xbox games?

    Was moderately interested. Wondered what I could get for my 7.50 a month so thought I would check their FAQ to see what's available...
    "You need to sign up for Boosteroid to see the full list of games."
    Sorry - not a sales pitch that works on me.

    Gotta love when streaming services pull that crap. They want you to subscribe, but won't tell you what you're getting for subscribing. At least Game Pass lets you see what you get.

    Gears 5 was already on Boosteroid. Gears Tactics has been added.
    He's not a man. He's the holy Half-Dead who has seen the Underverse and returned with powers you can't imagine.

    It's a service that allows you to play your own games on a cloud server. Pretty interesting concept and something I bet will be a major part of gaming in the future.

    Same, except not too lazy, just don't care enough to go check.

    Always on the hunt for the next completion.

    Maybe I'm very ignorant but what is the advantage of cloud based gaming? Is it helpful for those that don't have Internet or maybe just those that are mobile?

    Maybe I'm an old man, but I don't need anything more than a console and PC haha glad this an option, I'm just not certain I would ever use it.

    I've used xCloud to play some Game Pass games that weren't downloaded, so maybe this helps people with bad bandwidth that can't download games but stream them?
    I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism...SPACE!

    The big one for me is being able to start near instantly. Nothing more infuriating than getting a new game, then having to wait 3+ hours for it to install.

    Is the Boosteroid logo supposed to look like the starship enterprise or is that just the nerd in me?laugh

    No idea what Boosteroid even is, assuming its pointless if you already have GPU.
