If GameStopApp wanted to allow you to transfer them they could have - hence it being commercial rather than technological.



How do I transfer a game from a shop that is already dead into one that doesn't yet exist? Any kind of transfer depends on both services still being alive and well. With NFTs I could retain ownership even when the shop is gone.


With a central authority you can do that too.

It just doesn't matter if it is nft or not.

That is the point.

Nft need to be provided as well. Access to it, tools etc. Mining and verifying it is costintensive.

Ubisoft didn't just use nft it went to a company which provides a nft Blockchain. They could just go to any company for this. It's cheaper to just use a database.

Fiat currency is basically already proof of stack. Because there are so many like me having money in a bank account. Pensions etc.

Nft needs either a resource intensiv PoW or a PoS which both have not been be solved in a good and scaling and save way.

So why not using PoS in the normal world with creating a company, contracts and a basic database? It's good enough for everything we do and we know how to do it.
