You have a credibly neutral place to store the items, publicly accessible to any other developer to leverage without having to maintain you're own endpoints and documentation. Baked in royalties. Sounds... much easier than the convoluted solution you propose with standard tech.

- twic 5y agoSteam already has an inventory service, trusted by millions of players to store billions of items. There is already machinery for users to authorise applications to see their inventory. If a game developer wanted to allow use of another game's inventory in their own game, they could already do this.
