But this doesn't negate the fact that cloud gaming works for a lot of genres and a lot of people. That market will likely only grow, and in that scenario, will likely become what most publishers try to cater for as that's where the worthwhile money is.

Look at how many competitive FPS have tried to take on CSGO and have failed since its launch. CSGO is very much the gold-standard of its genre.

Despite modern PC gaming largely being a better experience (minus bad ports, buggy launches), consoles still sell in huge numbers. If cloud gaming grows, I expect it to replace consoles for a lot of people.

Even now, rather than download a game to my living room Xbox, I'll just stream the game via the cloud to it. However, if I'm sat up close with a game at my desk, of course I'll install it on my PC. But at x feet away from my TV in the living room, whatever is lacking visually or in terms of latency, I'm not gonna care about when my input device isn't exactly all that performant. I dare say that about sums it up for a lot of people using the cloud to game.

This is without even bringing up the number of Nintendo Switch games that are streaming-only as the console can't handle it natively. Doesn't seem to bother Switch owners much.

Wall of text, short answer: Both will continue to exist and as long as enough people want to play games like CSGO we will have local pc gaming and thus linux desktop systems
