You are right; I was being loose with my language on assets and receipts. Thank you for the correction.

I am thinking something more along the lines of a game that supports in-game mods for it. There is nothing limiting you to use the original asset; you just need proof of ownership to give access to a different functionality. I have no idea how this would work across developers and with copyright, but there are real scenarios right now that would love to use proof of ownership or for mods.

You are seeing a potential future, and an exciting one at that. Unfortunately, there is nothing in what Ubisoft has announced that will help usher in that future.
