I've been using GeForce Now quite a bit to play games that do not run on my laptop. The required internet speed is probably out of reach for most non-urbanites at the moment, but the concept does not really require a Native App, since it is basically video streaming with interactivity, and could probably easily move to the browser in the future. Cloud gaming is one of the technologies I'm quite unsure about, it could become the de-facto standard in the coming decade, or it could remain a niche, all depending on consumer preferences and network infrastructure.

GeForce Now already works on browsers. It requires Chrome or iOS Safari (I suspect this one was the driving force behind it due to apples app store rules). Just go to https://play.geforcenow.com/ https://play.geforcenow.com/ and it shows you what to do...

For some games it might be reasonable but the ones i tried with my 100/100 mbit are miles away from the native experience.

In my experience it works for mostly static games - most others are not fun due to the additional latencies. If you're close enough to the server and not too sensitive it might be enjoyable, but also some genres are just unplayable IMO (e.g. FPS, roguelikes, racing games).
