Yet the most popular games are online-only and even more have their installation base's copies of the game managed by an online-first DRM.


That's true, but beside the point: even online only games or those gated by online DRM are not streamed or resemble a thin client architecture.

That exists, too, with GeForce Now etc, which is why I said mostly.


This is just factually inaccurate.


Please provide a more comprehensive response. I suppose I should be more specific as well.

Some of the online only games I am thinking of are CoD, Fortnite, LoL and Minecraft. The online-first DRM I am thinking of is Steam.


Even half of your list is not "online only."
