At some point, someone needs to make a law to break these monopolies.
How about forcing stores to allow moving games into another store. For example, allow me to move a game from steam to the epic games store, or the other way around. Then the whole “but I have all my games on Steam already” problem would be solved when switching to new stores.
The only semi good case for nfts I’ve heard is as licensing. Say a game marketplace sells you a nft license for a game, you put that into steam as essentially a cd key. Then if some other library software had better features down the line you could transfer the licenses.

That would never happen.

Well, there is no need to use NFTs for that. Can just be done in any other usual way.
Nfts are just invoices with extra steps
