So the target market is people who want to play video games but don't have a gaming system?

Maybe their catalog should be more casual/indie oriented? It's hard to imagine too many people who want to play a loud shooty game like Red Dead Redemption 2 but don't have a console or PC already. On the other hand, the price point seems kind of high for someone who wants to play card games or Words With Friends style games.

casual/indie games don't require a powerful GPU in the cloud, they work on your local device.

I want to play RDR2 but don’t have a console, because dealing with consoles is just too much trouble these days.

Mind you I’ve also heard that RDR2 is about eight hours of slog before you even get to the point where you can just dick around, so I guess modern games just aren’t designed for people with any other time commitments these days.
