It would be technically practical, the lag isn't that a big problem in KoDP (the user would be happy to receive a new JPEG painting!). Plus story lines could be added over time to keep the subscribers interested (people like you-know-who who have to see every treasure :-)). Once the server and billing system is in place, adding new content would be a lot easier than other games - more of a writing exercise and a painting or two rather than a 3D model and environment making factory (which often starts from pencil drawings anyway).
Unfortunately you can't make it multiplayer, unless you have a real Ring. But that would be a different game.
