Pay Once, Play Everywhere

Description

dApp which allows purchasing of video games and then claiming the copy of ownership on any other game store/platform by presenting an NFT which confirms that a user has already bought it at another game store or gaming platform.

Advantages for gamers

• Save money by paying for a game only once
• Play the games you own on any other platform/console (they have been released on)

Advantages for game stores

• Gamers will be more willing to pay for licensed games knowing they are not restricted by current platform only
• Gamers can still be charged a small portion of the full price for claiming a copy on another platform
• Game copy ownership verification across different stores/platforms becomes possible and super easy

Architecture

The UI and API parts should be replicated for each game store separately, while the smart contract should be shared across them.

How game stores can manage the shared NFT smart contract?

Different game stores accross the industry can form a DAO which would allow them to have their addresses having access to the minting functionality of the NFT smart contract. They can also make collective decisions regarding its future development.
