A game key could be considered a non-fungible token so this already works on a blockchain. Instead of recording a game key, you record the wallet public key. If you need more privacy, you can use Zero knowledge proofs[0].

- nouveaux 5y agoSheesh being down voted on hacker news for a technical response. If my technical response is wrong, please let me know.
- Ekaros 5y agoHow would you prevent group of friends from sharing a wallet? Which I see as one thing to do, pool your money and buy each new game to new wallet... Then share the wallet's private key between all.

- nouveaux 5y agoThe benefit of putting a game key in a public place is to make porting the key easier. So yea, sharing a wallet would be possible. This is definitely not something corporations want. Back in the day, you can borrow your friends game after they were done. DVDs can be shared. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- shagie 5y ago... and then one of your friends gets hit with some wallet stealing and someone transfers all of your game-license-tokens out.
