It would just be another form of gambling, just like they did with micro-transaction lootboxes. I'm pretty sure there is a market out there for games as a product; games as an immersive, cohesive experience from beginning to end, just like a movie, except with gameplay. The problem I think was mobile games completely sidetracking the whole industry with micro-transactions and increasingly making games as a service. This is why in general good gaming experiences are now in the past (I'm pretty sure it's not nostalgia). I'm hoping this changes with the advent of game engines democratizing development more and more.
