In the Germany you are allowed to sell it, however no platform has implemented this and nobody fought for it yet. But there are several verdicts regarding this.
I’ve been laughed at for this before, but I feel like this is exactly what NFTs could be used for. You could resell it and you’d lose the access to the game. I really feel like this would make digital game ownership a thing, without “akshully it’s a license”
You know what, that’s the most sense I think I ever heard regarding nft. However it breaks at two points.
For one the software itself needs to be dongled with this, which brings a lot of issues and dependencies.
The other thing is the nft cryptography needs to be safe and reliable ‘forever’. Cryptography is ever evolving so it might be okay for now, but who knows, especially with quantum processing supposedly close by, for how long.
My understanding, or assumption from considering classic physical goods, is that if you buy the digital product you may be able to resell it, but if you license it it’s not buying and you don’t own a product you can resell.
If GoG licenses you a product you can download and can archive, then it’s not bought and may not be resellable. (?)

It’s just that NFTs are a needlessly complicated way to implement that.
Who manages the access, who platforms, and serves the NFT content?
If it’s up to the store to do so, you don’t need NFT for that. The store can already do that.
