Myeah, same here, especially considering I've got the hardware right here to run anything myself. But again, it has it's uses. Sign up for a free account, small install for your browser, and then you can demo games in their catalog, for free. If you're ever in doubt about a game you can just give it a whirl at no cost, provided it's in their catalog.
(You can buy individual games as well btw, not limited to subscription, though that does seem the better bang-for-buck deal: 10,- a month to play anything on there)

That's really the main thing holding it back: bandwith requirements, especially when it comes to ISPs that enforce a cap. Latency is an issue for the time being, untill they can set up more local servers.
