I found it at the cambridge advanced learners

pipeline : a very long large tube, often underground, through which liquid or gas can flow for long distances.

Allbory, welcome to the English Forums!

Might there not be a typo in your example sentence?  Thinking [8-)]

It could be a typo for "as long as he is the sole pipeline for the status of the game code"; in which case it might mean "the sole conduit" or "the sole means of transmission".
