I think it's reasonable to believe that third party CDNs would pop up in the world.
The feature would be that it's structurally decentralized in a way that decouples content creators from delivery.
- Macha 5y agoWhat would be the business model for the CDNs? If they're paid by the publisher, you're back to the game vanishing when it's no longer profitable for them to provide it. If they're paid by the user, this feels a worse user experience than the centralised status quo of steam.
- ui4jd73bdj 5y agoIt doesn't decouple them. The cdn still needs rights to share the content from the creator. Why would the creator give anyone else the right than say steam? So you would have a NFT of your game that only works in one platform since others cannot distribute it.
