So in your ideal world the only way software can be distributed is in a way where it can be reused anywhere - in ways that maybe don't even exist at the moment This doesn't really solve anything . It just ends up promoting SaaS. Where you never own the game at all and don't have access to any part of it. You only rent access to a server where the software resides and runs (ex Google's failed game streaming service)
