You have a bunch of people who know better.

I could be wrong but. Wouldn't you have to have a pretty high speed internet connection for something like that to work?

Latency is the bigger problem.

I don't like relying the corporation's server and being dependent on them so they can charge any costs & unreasonable EULAs they want. Why not use cloud technology but with your own home computer acting as the server? Buy the software and let it stream to your portable device from your high-power rig, wirelessly or whatever ...

Exactly that!
They (I would prefer Valve though) should buy Splashtop and fix its mouse support problems and it would be perfect for remote gaming.

Fail, they are determined to control our games and turn gaming into rent-a-game from their servers. Want to play keep paying us.

I have no desire to play all my games in the cloud. I don't mind downloading them the cloud (Steam). But to support all this properly is going to require a lot more investment in high speed infrastructure. Move to Kansas City if you want to play all your games in the cloud.
