Many users will not notice the difference. Search engines have done this with text searches for going on multiple decades, and I have witnessed people pointing to the first ad result tangentially related to their search and saying THAT’S IT! because they saw their keyword in the title. It’s going to make a billion dollars.

Taobao is flooded with used gaming hardware that’s largely ex-internet cafe equipment. So they are definitely cycling through a lot of gear. That is likely to be one of the first big markets for it.
