Cloud technology is currently used in gaming as just a harder to circumvent form of DRM rather than actually enhancing gameplay in any meaningful way; so yea... won't help gamers, probably won't affect the publishers bottom line all that much, but looks great on a press release to investors who don't really understand the concepts. See the latest Simcity release for example, although to say that they actually used cloud technology at all in that game is being exceedingly generous.

I do find his quote "I believe that innovation in business models, where the customer determines price (e.g. the F2P model), has been the driving force of growth" somewhat humorous given his past experience with subscription based games.
