Unless it’s the web host for the file, because the nft is just a link. The AWS outage showed that quite clearly.

AWS going down wouldn’t erase the NFT out of existence. Valve closing down would certainly remove every Steam market item.

Sure, but your entry in the block chain that is just a link to nowhere isn’t much more exciting that telling people about the cool skin you once had in a defunct game.
