Why would they want residuals on digital resales?

Is that a serious question?

Yes, that is a serious question. Why should they want a resale if they can just sell a new license

So you're telling me a company would rather take one sale and two resales than 3 sales?

Depends on what the market dictates and the consumers drive the market.

NFT games already exist, you can already buy and resell them. NFTs often have benefits of ownership as well as benefits of being first-owner.

Whether or not the technology gets picked up by bigger studios I cant say, but imo its better for the consumer.

There’s no profits in this.
