His internet is god tier and we are looking for a cloud pc that is affordable for a bunch of 16 year olds

we are considering Shadow but we want to know if theres anything more affordable

long term its probably worth trying to buy a pc.
maybe wait for blackfriday/cyber monday and you could help him buy some parts for cheap

also latency might be an issue especially as you are sending packets from user to server then back to another server to just register input.
its kinda a foreign thing to me so take what i say with a grain of salt

like a virtual pc where you can play game with high spec pcs hosted on a server. You basically connect to the providers pc and play

Cloud gaming is still new, you should probs just save up for a real pc imo, but yeah shadow is the best option for budget cloud gaming
