> Lag was still a rare thing during my experience
Anything more specific than that, i.e. lag would occur every 10 mins on avg?

The idea that one can retune the radio into a different channel for 100 milliseconds or so and not impact user experience is absurd.
As someone who plays through DOOM on Ultra Nightmare, this kills the game. There are times when, if I were to miss even 10 or 15 frames, there would be a good chance that will be the end of my run.
It will instead, expand the audience to a lot of casuals who just want a little demon-slaying power-fantasy on a low difficulty. Nothing wrong with that, and it is a damn big addressable audience. Just like how mobile didn't "kill" any other platform, it just added a whole lot of candy crushers.
If this were an entire room of WiFi controllers hitting the same WiFi frequencies all at the same time, it could have been a local problem.
All in all, we can't read too much into the demo-conditions. There are too many variables at play here.
No lag at all on my end. I am in the USA, so I have a solid but not amazing connection.
I should note that I have only played for half an hour because AssCreed was extremely boring. The tech itself was very solid in my experience.
I tried to catch some streaming artifacts, like parts of the screen not updating or a visible lag, but I could not see anything. In a blind test, I doubt I would have been able to differentiate this from running the game on my home console.
In any event I think that if you are a casual gamer and want to get off the graphics card upgrade train every couple of years, then this is a no brainer. It probably would not be a good match for multiplayer shooters, but for solo games, even AAA titles, it's a great option.
My feedback was that if they paired up with Steam they'd have a killer product. They might still have a killer product if they convince all those developers on Steam to also put their games on this service.
