The Cloud's only real purpose is control. So that large corporations can 'say so' and tell you what to buy and where to put your stuff.
So much control to be shoved down a fragile fiber-optic line. Last year, a backhoe took out a fiber line and put a whole county out of internet, phone and 911 for three weeks.

The gamers are all online - but they still need desktops with quad GPU's.

Anyone remember the anime movie Akira? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_(film)
That giant blob-guy at the end that absorbed all that junk and finally got too powerful and bloated,
