People want retail games and if the big 3 can’t cover that market a new and more sustainable subject will fill that space. Maybe it’s time to bring back physical media to PC, a more open system where publishers could make profit selling their retail games similarly to vinyls for music.
How would you: make the key transferable and secret, while still notifying the original vender it happened, and collect payment, and keep me from selling and turning off the key?
And once the vendor went away, no new keys would be issued. So why make a public crypto ledger, when their ledger suffices?
Just like an NFT. Useless in this case too.
NFTs are useful in a system in which you fully trust no one, but also fully trust everyone to adhere to the NFT system.
(In other words, yeah, I could tell as an engineer they are 100% useless in every scenario anyone could ever imagine, bar none)
