The State of Streaming at our House in the Fall of 2026

If I suggest that the golden era of video streaming is over, it implies that there was such an era… and I am not sure I can support that idea. If there was one I likely blinked and missed it…

Also, ending that article wishing for new Ultima RPGs based on this is some next level self-delusion. Something might come of this... but that won't be it, not without being laced with crypto and AI and whatever bubble will burst the moment he touches it.
