No doubt, but I think we are very early on the piece.

There are massive issues with performance with shadow tech. High speed fibre is required to run this tech to a minimum acceptable standard, even then it's unreliable. Gamers don't like Lag, further to that you are relying on the provider to fix any technical issues and hardware performance issues. You sacrifice control of your experience, and if the provider is understaffed/overworked it could take weeks for your issues to be resolved.

Additionally, the large popular game developers needs to give permission for the platform provider to host their games. This currently contravenes the terms of service for virtually all the popular games, so without official partnership agreements companies like Blizzard, Valve, EA etc are never going to give permission for shadow tech t be used with their games. 

I agree the the concept is attractive, but I fear we are still many years away from this being considered a viable for option for gamers.
