The internet has largely replaced CD Roms, Floppies and DVDs.
The stuff you use a computer hard drive or Flash drive has remained consistent. Some items may have moved to the internet but most games, OS Utilities and whatnot are stored on local HDDs or SDDs. Always have and likely will remain so.
I remember when data interchange meant burning a disc and walking a disc over to my buddy. XML will standardize that and simplify my workflow. /s

With iCloud, your primary data lives in the cloud; your SSD caches recently used data, and the OS will delete it if it runs out of space. That’s millions of users for whom “whatnot” isn’t stored locally. (That’s how a 2TB iCloud subscription can make sense even if only used with a 500 GB SSD)

Lots of Facebook and flash games are stored 'in the cloud' (but probably cached locally).
For many games, a big part of the game logic runs on some server somewhere, especially multiplayer games.
