Honest question: how could you get hacked by a game running on a server and streaming the graphics to your phone?

You bet and you'd be wrong. People can have opinions other than yours without it being some big conspiracy.

Your reasoning applies identically to Netflix videos, Kindle e-books, and podcast files delivered via Overcast or some other podcatcher.
It is hard to imagine, since the mechanics here are the same as streaming video. The code that's executing on your device is not being streamed. Images and video are.

I'd imagine it depends on what granularity "interaction" means:
1. Do you have a chatbox/channel in-game?
2. Can you plug-in usernames/passwords to login to your game accounts?
3. Is your game account tied to social networks etc?
34. If you purchased the game outside of the streaming company and had that tied to a credit card etc then can a notorious game streamed through the app make you inadvertently rack up charges on that card?
I'm just spit-balling here. These are the top attack vectors that come to mind. IDK, maybe I'm thinking wayyyyy outta the box here.
