What counts as "Cloud Gaming"?

Does playing Nethack on a public server count as cloud gaming? I realize playing an online only game doesn't count or every web game would. But with Nethack the processing is all server side, my machine is just displaying text basically, I can save and continue from any other device (with ssh or telnet or whatever).

For that matter, do MUDs count? If so I started Cloud Gaming around 25 years ago...

(Also, my first post... Let me know if I'm doing something wrong. I never posted on that other site before either. Well, first non-reply post.)

Granite,

Yeah it's fun to think that perhaps BBS games from back in the day were the original cloud games. 🤣

I think your post is perfectly fine. I'm mostly just happy to see people engaging. 😁

If your entire game is stored on someone else's computer, you are "cloud" gaming.
