Yup, this is the future of gaming. even though I'm not all that crazy about it. It does potentially eliminate a lot of risk for hardware development cost and software sales. I'm interested to see where it goes.

The low end, the casuals....

People that want 4k and the sharpest image quality, and their games to look and play the best (input lag ect) will all still buy physical hardware.
Same with people that have data caps or not the fastest internet... or who live too far from a server farm, makeing the experiance not so great.

You talk as if 20 years from now internet speeds will be stuck at the same rates as today. In the next 10-20 years the leap in speeds will be huge, just like the leap we saw from 1998-2018 period. This is not something that will happen overnight, but it will certainly grow and solidify in the next 2 decades.
