the only unique capability of a blockchain implementation (compared to a server-side company-owned one) is that the record of you owning the trading card or whatever will exist as long as the blockchain is alive, even if the original game is dead

that would allow your item to be used in multiple games, etc

view it as a replacement for the steam marketplace

But the blockchain doesnt record stats, mesh, physics, ability effects, or anything relevant to gameplay, it will still require a developer to implement everything. (Were also ignoring copyright/licensing).

This theoretical could likely only be used between games by the same dev, in which case they could just do it without blockchain.

Just seems like so much extra, with massive potential downsides, for so little.
