It wouldn't be better for players. It would be better for companies because the user no longer owns the computer that runs the game.
You can still stream a deterministic world to the player.
And a month or so of development time. Pure IP re-selling.
October? Yeah, just release the "Spiderman saves Halloween" prompt.
