I own a physical copy of Diablo 2 that does not work anymore. License is dead and I don't know why.

Owning a physical copy is not helping me play the game as Bliz has decided that license is no good.

An NFT could have the same experience. Nothing forcing the vendor to honor it.

Seems if NFT game licenses worked the way they are being talked about in this thread then there would be no way to ban players for bad behavior because it would be out of the hands of the developer. Which clearly isn't true.

Game preservation is a solved problem: piracy. Not legal but it works.

No company is going to give a shit about what they sold to whom 10 years ago. Hell chances are they're already out of business.
