    Well, if those licenses are entries on the blockchain, they could be transferred on the blockchain. You could sell your game used when you’re bored of playing it. You can’t play it after you sell it but someone else can. Publishers hate resale markets though, when people buy used games they don’t make any money. So they’ll probably never go for this.

      yeah on top of that, if your computer breaks or something now you lost all of your keys.

      say goodbye to whatever you own on the blockchain when the keys are gone. poof!

      this is the biggest problem with any scheme tying private keys (digital) to anything in the real world.
