Nah, it will never happen. Cloud gaming might become more popular, but will never fully replace local gaming. First of all, I don't think we'll ever a get a datacenter full of GPUs 10ms away from every person. And even then, you will always have the hardcore gamers who will not tolerate the latency. Especially as monitors and hardware get better, those 10ms of network latency will be more noticeable. You might say that hardcore gamers are too few and will be just ignored. But the "PC Master Race" segment seems to be growing each year.

People said the same about mobile gaming and look where we are. PC Gaming is a big initial investment for some people so making it more accesible will maybe also attract some of the mobile market who want to play AAA titles but dont want a console or a PC. That being said I dont think we'll be saying goodbye to the desktop gaming PC anytime soon.

  Mobile gaming is ultimately nothing like PC gaming. It's become a weird offshot of monetization and different mechanics. Very very few games are the same between the two and I double that anyone who plays PC games would be satisfied with mobile as a replacement.

  What did people say about mobile gaming? But anyway it's probably minimal the amount of PC gamers that migrated to mobile gaming. And cloud gaming will probably be similar. In fact I think it's doing pretty poorly already in terms of adoption. Remember I'm not arguing that cloud gaming will never become popular. I'm arguing that we shouldn't worry about gaming becoming cloud only.
