There are a number of digital issues to handle and for large companies the classic “how is blockchain better than a central database” doesn’t pass.

For a smaller dev, does saving some percentages of profits to distribution make sense?

As for DRM, I don’t think an nft solves that or piracy in general but neither does the current system.

I guess the question of nfts is “Is it possible for ownership of unique digital goods to exist without a central authority controlling it?”

Doesn’t seem like a bad question to ask, and I don’t think the tech is there, but the idea of an nft could answer it.

No, because NFTs don't cover distribution because even a 2d indie game can be multiple gb so won't be on the blockchain.

It also ignores that a big feature these distribution platforms offer to developers is discovery too, whether by recommendations, charts, or just seeing what your friends are playing
