    I imagine the latency would be unacceptable for any sort of FPS game unless you were on fiber and very close to the data center.

      yup, and even positing you could guarantee perfect data streams to everyone (equally), how many users do you need to make the specialized hardware stacks profitable?

      can we stream some games? yeah. is it a great solution? not yet. super thin clients and super powerful data centers are easy to suggest but harder to make profitable.
