[Eril-l] Streaming games licensing (e.g., Steam)

[Adam Wall]

Hello,

Public library here. We use OnePlay, provided by Recorded Books. It's a
flat subscription fee per year.
https://www.recordedbooks.com/our-products/digital-resources/downloadable-video-games
There are some technical and DRM issues that arise occasionally, but they
have a fairly wide selection of games, including the popular Lego [insert
franchise here] games.

I'm happy to talk about it more if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Adam
