Consequently, can gaming ruin a laptop?
No, it doesn't but what does is heat. When you play new AAA titles they require a lot of horsepower to run, so eventually your cpu and gpu heat up and that causes damage to electronic components around them. Playing video games will not directly damage your computer. However, there are several things to consider.
One may also ask, can you play Steam games on a laptop? Fuhgeddaboutit. That was then. This is now, and now, the new in-home streaming feature Valve recently introduced in its blockbuster Steam gaming platform can turn any laptop into a full-fledged gaming machine—even older notebooks with ho-hum power, or Linux or OS X machines or Windows 8 tablets.
Moreover, how do I stream games from my PC to my laptop?

Will downloading games slow my laptop?
Games do not slow down your computer - general everyday use does, over time. Your HDD/SSD performance will degrade over time and that will result in what appears to be a slower system.
