  how does this work? is the game running on a cloud of servers and streaming to your browser window a series of images, so that it looks like you are playing the game on your computer.

  If so, umph there it is. the future. just take the users interactions from keyboard/mouse - send quickly to server, update graphics/gameplay/website and then very quickly send image back.

  maybe the future of all computing is a device that is as simple as a input device+screen that connects to a cloud of processing computers. these computers run the applications, photoshop etc. and u pay a subscription. in this scenario, a consumer would never have to faff around upgrading their computer every year and updating software. i guess you'd need a guaranteed internet connection to compute.
