The Gamestop NFT marketplace will hopefully allow creators like you to release games and collect a royalty for each re-sale

What’s sus about creators receiving royalties for their own work?

The sus part is the royalties being tied to unregulated, highly risky “assets”

The Gamestop marketplace has been operational for a while. Not sure what you’re on about…

I am not really all about NFTs but they are not going away… They are the perfect tool for digital capitalism. They create a kind of artificial scarcity

In the case of the Gamestop policy, at least creators get paid for their work as long as its remains popular/desirable

The company’s wallet, not its NFT market. The recent ruling with Ripple and SEC made it appear that running both an exchange AND a wallet would be considered a violation of securities law.

Gamestop wallet users can move their digital items to any compatible wallet

Oh my bad. It did load after connecting to a UK VPN, seems like they block my region from accessing it.
The part about shilling garbage still stands however.

Only if you can put the license itself on the blockchain, and guarantee the blockchain is robust enough to last beyond Gamestop’s bankruptcy. Or survive past the day Gamestop decides they can make more money by destroying the current blockchain and “upgrading” the system.

The blockchain has nothing to do with Gamestop’s solvency as a company (which is not in doubt, BTW). It’s Ethereum blockchain.

The last sentence of your comment sounds like you don’t actually understand blockchain technology at all…

I don’t think anyone can say that Gamestop will definitely be around longer than people want to use these licenses they sell. And I hope the license isn’t just a pointer to some Gamestop website that stores the licenses (re: standard NFT). But I don’t trust any corporation to do something like this without building in some sort of backdoor to revoke licenses. Especially Gamestop.
