Linux will not agree on anything.
Steam (or whoever at this point) could bring together the efforts put in static linking of Linux apps and combine it with some sort of app isolation (freebsd like "jailing"... maybe doable with lxc?) so that a game binary once linked doesn't need anything other than the kernel and the isolation keeps it from affecting other apps in case it is exploited because of vulnerabilities in statically linked parts of the binary.
This way, we could have forever running apps if that is what we want.
