I appreciate that this was just an example, but the fact that the game economies across the titles a company like EA offers are centralised is beneficial to EA because it affords them ultimate control over in game assets. There’s no compelling commercial reason why they’d be motivated to move to a decentralised model, and certainly no reason why, if they were interested in implementing blockchain, they’d use something like GameGrid to do that rather than develop a solution in house.

In addition, most consumers do not care about decentralisation or being able to ‘prove’ ownership of in game assets. They simply consume them to play the games and don’t think any deeper, and that’s not going to change any time soon. This is a very niche idea that currently holds little sway outside of crypto circles.

For indie devs - again, I can’t see why you’d try and work with Ionomy when the proven audience isn’t very big. If Ionomy had already proven its viability and gotten perhaps tens of thousands of gamers engaged, then there might be some motivation there, but right now joining this eco system would only likely net you 10-15 engaged users from a niche discord channel. There’s no attraction there if I’m an indie dev looking for quick monetisation.
