I meant the exact same thing. Like, the Satellaview gave specific games for the SNES, some exclusives. Sega Channel for the Genesis was the same way.

OnLive and Stadia are subscription services that let you also buy games to stream that you will have zero access to once the service shuts down.

Steams not going to shutdown though, whether or not you believe Valve would distribute files like they used to say they would, Steam is a massive billion-dollar service that has a virtual monopoly on PC software distribution

And while Google could afford to keep Stadia running with no problem, if it continues to be as big of a financial loss as it is, they have zero incentive to.

The only reason google would keep something running is if it becomes a monopoly

It's pretty much the exact same situation as OnLive, but OnLive at least was an idea that was ahead of its time and made the company money when Sony bought it to convert into PS Now.

I don't think I've actually lost digital games from stores being shut down. The closest I can think of is buying a game that used eLicense, the company shut down and stopped selling, and if you want to install the game on a new computer and register it, you have to contact the company that licensed the eLicense software to the publisher that shut down.
