The interesting part is it could've worked if Google actually understood gaming. The PS4's remote play capability is more than usable for most games. That pretty much relies on your own uplink speed and hops over residential internet hosted on underpowered hardware.

Google is one of the few companies that could've had enough data centers geographically spread out enough where most people's latency is tolerable and game selection is curated to not be latency sensitive.

But instead they completely flub both the technical implementation and the pricing model.
