What I mean is the only way to play the game is though a streaming service. This way the game code is never public. This probably is already a thing but I haven’t heard anything about it.

correct. it’s called cloud gaming. examples of services include AirConsole, Amazon Luna, PlayStation Plus, Xbox Cloud, GeForce Now, InstantAction, G-cluster, Gaikai, GameFly, Google Stadia, Jump, Kalydo, LiquidSky, OnLive, Playcast and PSNow.
most of them have shut down. the ones that still exist are either offering streaming games as a value-add to other services, or marketing themselves as value-adds for other companies to include in their own product.
most of these platforms tried attracting devs for exclusives, but it’s such a small niche that there’s no way to actually make any money.
Not really, cloud gaming just lets you play existing titles. OP means you don’t have any way to play except for streaming.
Yeah. This person is saying that for a streaming only game to exist, streaming has to do well first. Which it hasn’t.
that’s why i added the last paragraph. onelive, stadia and airconsole all tcied doing exclusives.
I see, that’s a fair point then.
