Plex Arcade Ad-based Game Streaming

Hello Plex is always looking for ways to expand its presence.
Since Plex Arcade is rather a flop, I would like to have an idea of how Plex could be made successful in terms of game streaming.

Plex established an advertising-financed VOD service some time ago.
Wouldn’t it be a good addition to do the same with Plex Arcade, i.e. ad-financed game streaming?

You could fill the game library with older games at the beginning, according to the principle of GOG.
With each game session, a 1-minute advertisement could then be shown to finance the server costs. With 2 ads at 30 cents each, you could earn 60 cents per game started. Assuming a user plays 15 days a month, perhaps 2 different games, this could generate 18 euros. If the basic fee for Plex Arcade is maintained, this could generate 21.5 euros.
I know this is a bit of a [GER] milkmaid calculation “Naive fallacy”.
But it would be financially viable. Especially if you focus on older games first.

I think you are overlooking these massive hurdles that exist in getting the rights to stream games to consumers. Look at all the trouble Geforce Now has had even though it requires you to bring your own games.
