A key feature of NFTs has completely broken / Web3 was supposed to make sure the original artist always got paid. Not so much anymore. (www.theverge.com)

The games themselves. Proof of ownership of a digital copy. It creates a secondary market for digital games.

Why would a game company prefer to distribute their game that way instead of Steam.

Why would a game company prefer to distribute their game with Steam instead of as shareware? Also nothing about having an NFT-based ownership license to a copy of a game precludes it from being on Steam except Steam not wanting to have a secondary market. Outside of a bean counters ledger there is nothing incompatible with them.
