If you can produce small numbers of expensive computers that are more efficient than millions of cheap computers cobbled together, you are still advancing how much computational power each person has access to.
But a significant problem with this approach is most real time video games aren't practical when the computer is far away.

Certainly there are also cryptographic workarounds to those problems but their overheads are so high as to make the outsourced computation somewhat pointless.
