Why would a game developer want that?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

To sell a crap game to degen crypto bros, I guess

Why would they want residuals on digital resales?

Is that a serious question?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, that is a serious question. Why should they want a resale if they can just sell a new license

Incentives already exist within NFT communities, would be trivial to add them into new game sales.

Question: What incentives are there?

Answer: The incentives already exist!

Ah yea, sorry, misread.

Some have offers of airdrops (free items for owning an NFT at a certain date/time). These range from in game assets like skins and accessories, custom art, or potentially access to other IP/licenses

So you're telling me a company would rather take one sale and two resales than 3 sales?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Depends on what the market dictates and the consumers drive the market.

NFT games already exist, you can already buy and resell them. NFTs often have benefits of ownership as well as benefits of being first-owner.

Whether or not the technology gets picked up by bigger studios I cant say, but imo its better for the consumer.

There’s no profits in this.
