At this point you might as well stream the game video, it would be less bandwidth.
This guy just invented Google Stadia (and GeForce Now I think)
Nobody remembers OnLive...
Steve Perlman sure does
I remember OnLive. I was waiting for it to become usable, then...nothing.

Doesn't it already run on Gamepass xCloud whatever they call it?
It wouldn't be as responsive though.
Just fly Boeing in game. It's a more authentic experience that way.
If the experience you're after is a near death experience, sure.
Well they do have the whistleblower expansion pack too if flying the plane isn’t near death enough for ya
If you have small data caps, it may even be cheaper.
Don't have to render doors if they've fallen off

Exactly - People don't seem to realize that cloud gaming responsiveness only really matters in competitive games and shooters. Turn based games or more casual games run perfectly fine with fast Internet.
Well if you think it works well there is nothing stopping you for streaming the game with xcloud.
Imo experience the bitrate and latency is pretty poor even with gigabit internet.
