It's pretty good at proving digital chain of custody. You could, for example, handle public records on a block chain.

I've been hoping for a game platform that tokenizes game licenses so that we can sell or gift them to others when we're done with them - basically steam but you own your copy of the game and can sell it on. This is incredibly unlikely to happen though, a secondary market for digital licenses would eviscerate profits.

Licenses as NFTs could have the method youre looking for. When resold, the original creator of the license gets a small cut, usually about 5% of sale price. The vendor website gets tx fees and the seller gets 90-95% of the sale price.

Its a strong model imo.

Why would a game developer want that?

To sell a crap game to degen crypto bros, I guess

Why would they want residuals on digital resales?

Is that a serious question?

Yes, that is a serious question. Why should they want a resale if they can just sell a new license
