How long do people think it will be until we have dummy terminals?

I've been in to gaming world since the 1980s and seen gradual improvement in technology over the years.

I was around when the PC broke up the Amiga vs Atari ST fight and booted them to the retro era.

But one big issue with PC's is the many combinations of parts. Choice is a great thing. But not good when it comes to wanting to run cutting edge games on them. It takes games companies a lot of time to run a game on all the main potential builds, and even then major bugs can appear in a game, even the AAA games.

As our broadband connections improve new technology, speed increases and low pings are gradually becoming more common how will this chance how we play our games?

I think when the change happens I suspect that the integrated motherboard graphics might come back in to play for the desktop, and then we sign in to servers that have the most powerful graphics cards around.

I've noticed many of the consoles have some sort of cloud gaming feature. But if it comes to the PC, how do the think it will change PC hardware?
 
I forgot to list the current example of hardware incompatibility in action currently.


Apparently it's been caused by MSI motherboards.


It seems to have been from an optional windows update. Microsoft blaming the manufacturers.

The solution, if this blue screen as happened to someone, is to go to the MSI website and download a program that will downgrade the current bios version.

This assumes the user still as some way of accessing windows to do this.

How many non-tech people are going to be able to do this? I think they are going to struggle.
