It works for the streaming tv because they pay for the content but as far as I understand it with the games they want to just give you a cut rather than a straight purchase price.
If they just buy some 10,000 licences off me for X amount of money that would be fine. But when they’re like, oh you’ll get 70% of the profit your game makes at $0.30 per hour of play, developers are less interested.
What’s in it for the developers?

It’s not the technology, it’s the deals.
