Is Cloud Gaming Worth It?

[ekuhlmann23]

Hey Guys. I recently discovered this company called LeapComputing and they are offering a new service for cloud gaming/workstation. Their systems come with an i7 5820K, 16GB or 32GB of DDR4 RAM and either a Titan X or a next gen AMD Radeon GPU. With these specs the system should be a beast. They are promising 60+ 1080P gaming with very low latency. I know this would make for an awesome workstation because latency is not a huge issue but is gaming that has me worried. Yearly updates are included with this service. It will cost 60 bucks a month once it is deployed and if you pre order they will give you a lifetime 50% discount so it would be 30 bucks a month. This sounds astronomically cheap and I do not see how the will make money with this. It seems to good to be true. Here is a link to a JayzTwoCents video on the topic:

 

What do you guys think? Is it worth it? Is it too good to be true? If it is then what is the catch?

It has potential, but still i like to buy hard copies of games time to time and do it the old school way, its a great feeling that you know that you actually own the game.

that would be awful for fps games, nope.

Cloud gaming is on dumpers right now. It needs to "grow up" a lot.

Totally not worth ATM.
