Would it even pay for itself? It seems to me like bandwidth is pretty cheap compared to computation costs so why bother trying to squeeze everything out. Just do some basic compression and you're good to go. Buy a bigger SSD if necessary, with technologies like reBAR compression just slows down a game anyway.

As far as cloud providers go, bandwidth is where the lock in is. It's priced to make it too expensive to switch to a competitor.
