ITT: games we wish would be made, but know never will.
It might be too big and complicated, or too niche, or the technology just isn't there, but we know no matter how much we want them, no studio will ever touch the idea.

>You will never pilot a warstrider to battle titanic monsters
>You will never engage in social combat with a god of opium
>You will never pursue the Scarlet Throne as a Dragonblood of the finest breeding
>You will never struggle to save creation and deny your dark side as a solar
>You will never leap between the trees in the bordermarches, flickering between animal forms as a luna
>You will never twist the strands of thread to follow your design as a sidereal
>You will never wield a golden daiklave the size of a surfboard as if it was a wiffle bat
>You will never build your manse to rival any glory of the First Age
>There will never be an Exalted video game
My idea is a mix of 3 genres. Phase one of the game would be a strategy game like Romance of the Three Kingdoms mixed with the conquest mode from Star Wars Battlefront II, so you'd command armies in space and target planets. Phase 2 would be like StarFox mixed with Homeworld, where you'd command your army of ships from an individual fighter while they're trying to infiltrate a planet's atmosphere and fighting their orbital forces. Phase 3 would be the actual laying waste to the planet and it would play like Dynasty Warriors.

Nifty... But what would the plot be?

I actually had 2 ideas for the plot.
1. You're a warlord that travels from planet to planet in hopes of uniting the galaxy under your banner for profit and control.
2. You're a guy playing a VR arcade game with the same plot, but you eventually become so obsessed with it that you spend all of your money playing it and start doing illegal jobs for the mafia just to keep dumping money into it, culminating in you eventually becoming the champion of the game, but at the cost of your personal integrity.
The latter was actually the original plot I had in mind, but I thought it would be too derivative of something like dotHack and/or too cumbersome when a simple warlord story could already work on its own without meta framing about video game obsession.
