    How do you imagine decentralized gaming? Every game comes with it’s own launcher?

          My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

      My fantasy is that PC games become similar to roms, where it’s a single file. Maybe encoded is the system specs, OS, etc.

      Then the “emulator” just works.

      Of course, no financial incentives and a lot of work just to exist. Not to mention, it’ll be impossible to do for modern games. But maybe every game that’s older than 10 years old gets this treatment.

      Also I’m not a OS engineer and maybe this is what Proton is doing with Linux.

      Then pure decentralized gaming on any OS - computer, browser, raspberry pi, “smart Fridge”, whatever has the specs. And the game just works.
