I'm not sure how this would prevent the scenario the article described.

  I think the idea is that NFTs aren't deleteable.

    From the article: > Unfortunately, there’s also a clause in the ToS that no credit will be given back to the user in cases of account termination or suspension. The company’s support page also cites the General Data Protection Regulation compliance and freeing database space as the main reason why they delete unused accounts. Again, how would NFTs fix this problem? A solution to the problem described in the article would be a very trivial service that just logs in on behalf of the user at whatever cadence necessary to preserve account "activity", not NFTs... sigh

    Do you think the file is stored in the blockchain?!

    In theory, sure, it has all the benefits of being immutably on the blockchain. In practice, the whole ecosystem around NFTs is built to trust OpenSea's version of truth, so the records can be manipulated at will. https://twitter.com/moxie/status/1454863786783875075 https://twitter.com/moxie/status/1454863786783875075

    You can carve your game purchases onto a stone tablet if you want to, but it doesn't make any difference unless there's someone that actually honors that NFT. Is this "Ultra" going to mint NFTs for my Ubisoft account purchases? If it does, who honors my Ubisoft Store NFTs once Ubisoft terminates my account? Is it Ubisoft, is it Ultra or is it even Steam? And if it doesn't, what is it minting? Stuff I buy on Ultra? Because at that point the NFT might just as well be an email receipt, since I'm now relying on Ultra to actually stay alive and honor my NFTs until I die.
