Well.. something similar to this has been around for many years now and many people swear by it. It's called Steam for PC and Mac.

However, Steam at least allows you to install the game on your own PC, and your PC determines if you can play it. Even modding is still available.

It's somewhat whereas I believe in Steam, but not in this. Steam still distributes the software itself, and the game runs on your PC, and not on something else whereas it's streamed to your screen.

Tis why I said it was 'similar.'

Both services don't allow you ownership of physical copies of the game. Sure steam might give you the game's files, but
1. You have to have steam running (no steam-no game)
2. You don't physically own th game disk.
