@spinning_bird expanding on "you're paying for the access, not to keep" bit -- if this model is successful enough, there's no reason publishers would not go for this model en masse, as it would be more lucrative in the long-term (no need to press physical copies, no need to give out digital copies that can be easily reproduced; means they can sell the game again in the future as a "RETRO CLASSIC!" etc.)
