Had Google been willing to invest in some next gen "cloud only" titles, we could have seen something truly magical. Imagine a WW2 game with thousands and thousands of concurrent players, or a real time 3D life Sim where people could meet and socialize like in real life. I think it's being realized across the industry that there isn't huge value prop in bringing existing games to the cloud and targeting low-spec gamers, but rather architecting entirely new experiences that simply are not possible without cloud compute. Jeff Bezos seems to recognize this, his exact marching orders for Amazon's game efforts was to make "computationally ridiculous games". That to me is the bigger opportunity, because it opens the doors to the next internet called the Metaverse.
