i understand the retarded point you're trying to make but why not just make one last patch at the end of a game's lifespan to provide bots for gameplay, so that the game doesn't have to end? literally just make the client the "server" and boom. the only thing most servers do is provide a way for the publisher to directly control online connection and sync packets between players. it's not like the server is streaming everything else that's downloaded onto your console or whatever's physically located on the disk.
