What Would Gaming be like on a Quantum Computer?

I was reading a newspaper yesterday, and I found an article in which Google and Nasa have been working on building Quantum computers (now known as 'D-Wave,) which are supposedly millions of times faster than any other computer today. Instead of Digital Bits, or standard binary, these kinds of computers use Quantum Bits, or Qu-bits, and instead of being regular old Ones and Zeros, or On or Off, a QuBit can be in either state, or both of them at the same time. I don't know too terribly much about computers, but it sounds like these are thousands of times more complicated to program than you average every-day computer. Now I know the question I'm asking here isn't even scratching the surface of the capabilities of these things, but I thought it'd be interesting nonetheless. Since these computers have these complex binaries, would we be able to just play any old game on them?Say for instance, Skyrim, or Fallout 4. Would they work right off the bat or would there have to be an entirely different kind of code for games to work on Quantum Computers in the first place? I wanna know what you guys think. Here's the official website for this thing if you wanna check it out [url]http://www.dwavesys.com[/url]
