I am not suggesting Disney or Microsoft will want anything other than maximum control over their own intellectual property and their user’s assets. From the article: > This is unlikely to ever feature in Minecraft, but may used by experimental indie game publishers who are interested in decentralized networks. And also: > allowing users to create unregulated and uncontrolled crypto markets on [Minecraft] could eaisly divert funds and profits away from Microsoft and their App Store partners. Thankfully there are many indie and experimental game developers that are not Disney and Microsoft. If you want a specific example of a game that answers “Who is this for?” look at Dark Forest developers and players, and anybody else that wants to build or play a similar game. > And for the many platforms that thrive on user-generated content, asserting at least some control over that content .. is their key value proposition This is not the case with LooksRare, SudoSwap and even to some extent OpenSea. The key value proposition of these platforms is a marketplace that easily allows you to sell and trade assets that the platform itself does not own the IP rights to. Similar types of businesses: Gumroad, second hand book shops, Turbosquid, art auction houses.
