Yeah, I don't think cloud gaming will be a replacement for people who shell out for desktop gaming hardware or external graphics card docks. But for when faced with making a big laptop portability and price compromise just to get mediocre laptop graphics, the cloud gaming gets pretty interesting, to me anyway. I also wouldn't consider myself a hardcore gamer. I maybe play 10-20 hours per month of a mix of genres, am not interested in e-sports, and prioritize convenience and fun over competitiveness. And since I used to game more seriously, I get why hardcore gamers are a bit threatened by this technology since if it ends up good enough for the masses, it's really going to hurt the high-end hardware options.
