Well...........there is an argument made often that there are a LOT of people in the world(estimated to be at least 2-3 billion) who don't have access to a proper gaming device and who can't afford one. For them "just playing on a console/PC" is really not an option. But.....smartphones and crappy tablets are widespread, even in the poorest regions of the world it's not uncommon to see them - all of these devices could be used for streaming games that these users could literally never experience otherwise.

A cynic would say that it's another way to extract whatever little money these people have. An optimist would say that this technology can bring video games and their joy to people who would never be able to experience them otherwise.

You pick the one that you like more.
