The problem is that game sellers would need to be able to add games to the blockchain so that they can be traded. But how do you implement a trusted entity in a trustless decentralized system?
It looks like you don’t need to add a game to the chain, just build a chain of trust and check the signature of something like that. But maybe that has downsides and with an unpopular blockchain it may as well be centralised
I was thinking more of NFTs, where a single ID corresponds to a specific copy of a game - allowing you to freely trade the game to someone elses wallet.
I was thinking of something like LBRY for the backend and like x402 for payment using stablecoins. This could all be neatly managed and allow to skip expensive transferal costs where a piece of content could even cost like less than a penny

Maybe I’m thick but that seems like the answer is the same as it is for anyone selling something on a website without blockchain.
