I tried Steam inhouse game streaming a few times and the result was decent. I have gigabit ethernet in my house, so latency was superb but video quality was noticeably different than the the actual game running on the host. My host is a beast so I got no idea why this discrepancy.

If Google can keep latency low and graphics as close as possible to original, then it has the possibility of being a Netflix for gaming. IMHO, Google need to focus on 3 things: latency, price and game library. Without those, it will fail or be a niche product considering that for 600ish$ you can build a pretty decent gaming PC.
