This seems to be a test that may turn into a future cloud product? Google has a lot of Pops which provide great latency for users, If they start filling these pops with gpus so that companies like ubisoft or epic or $gamecompany can pay for the infrastructure and let users pay them a subscription and then I don't have to drop 500+ dollars every year to stay relevant with AAA titles, maybe it all works out?

This is the reason MANY people don't get into PC gaming and opt instead for a console. Yes, it's a downgrade from what you can get with a PC, but having to drop $500+ every other year on the latest graphics card is not something many want to do.

And the browser-based approach seems like a great solution for the platform issue. Being a Mac user I often miss out on steam games since they are mostly focused on Windows releases.
