Doesn’t apply to streaming media. You’re free to cache your media if you can store it, since you own it, but that’s not true of all people and all media. How does steam verify you own something from gog if gog shuts down? They don’t unless a distributed ledger exists, then they could.
This is where blockchains can be useful. Buy once, valid everywhere always with a little support.
You have a string of bits. If the service shuts down that wont help.
Really appreciate GOG’s model instead, just give me a locally installed executable that doesn’t depend on a storefront.
