Comment on How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing?

This probably is already a thing
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.

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.
