Contrary to what their marketing says, I don't think this is really meant to be for gaming. It's a cool use case, and useful escape-goat, but for the functionality it packs, using it just for gaming would be a waste, especially considering the flipper's intended audience.
Instead, I'd see it as extended platform attached to your flipper, presumably access to much wider software ecosystem (basically anything that can run on a raspberry), new sensors and new connectivity options, all in the name of extending the original functionality.
For example, with the new module you can use it as a cheap oscilloscope on-the-go, as mentioned in the blog post. Not sure when I've ever needed that, but I'm sure it's useful to someone.
The Flipper Zero is essentially a swiss-knife of portable penetration testing, I'm sure the new connectivity options adds some more features to that concept.
