Is renting out data centre GPUs for cloud gaming currently financially feasible? Considering how much GCP charges for GPUs, I would be surprised if they would be able to offer it at an atractive price (~$10/month). Other providers' services look quite experimental and not ready for mass adoption as well.

It used to be as low as $0.10/hour on AWS for spot rates and of course GCP might not give it out at that rate but it certainly suggests there is some room here. 100 hours of gaming a month is a sizable amount of playtime (if you aren't a hardcore gamer, which arguably a cloud -> streaming gaming option is not going to appeal to anyway)
