Please god no. Gaming is one of the last bastions of owning your bits. It kills off tinkering, modding, poking around asset data, and yes, some cheating. But you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

There is already too much rent-seeking in gaming.

You can't run a server for yourself for most games. You have to sign into a proprietary service to download/run games. We already lost this battle. I'd like to at least get some advantages like less cheating!
