With smart contracts on blockchain you can do exactly that. Everyone involved in the process can ensure they get their cut.

You can’t play it after you sell it but someone else can. Publishers hate resale markets though, when people buy used games they don’t make any money. So they’ll probably never go for this.

yeah on top of that, if your computer breaks or something now you lost all of your keys.
say goodbye to whatever you own on the blockchain when the keys are gone. poof!
this is the biggest problem with any scheme tying private keys (digital) to anything in the real world.

Once my mom threw out ask the cases for my computer games and put all the disks into a cd binder to save room.
It was devastating.

You can lose access to regular accounts as easily as to a blockchain. In fact, losing database of your password manager is even worse, because even if you have backups, they're not going to be complete.
With a blockchain all you have to worry is your private key. And you can write it down on a piece of paper, if you want, and put it away in a safe or a bank vault or something. Then, if you use it to restore your access years later, nothing will be lost.

Not really. You backup you keys like a normal human. Or create any of those new account abstraction keys that are tied to another account, or anything else.
