- acdha 5y agoHow do you think this would work differently? Blockchains are far too inefficient to store non-tiny content and in any scenario where access control is a problem the publisher isn’t going to put the files somewhere they don’t control. If they want to block you, they’ll block your account on the real servers no matter what the NFT receipt says. The key misunderstanding you’re making is thinking that you own something either way. What you paid for is a limited license with a legal agreement which allows them to rescind it under certain conditions. If the publishers wanted to be more generous, or gamers were willing to stop paying for terms they don’t like, they could do that now with no need to pay a third party for a distraction.
