Fuck no. Nobody wants NFTs.
I am not really all about NFTs but they are not going away... They are the perfect tool for digital capitalism. They create a kind of artificial scarcity
In the case of the Gamestop policy, at least creators get paid for their work as long as its remains popular/desirable
How does it been an NFT stop piracy?
Honestly, I don't think it does, but it makes re-sale of digital media possible. Right now you can't return a crappy game to the shop where you bought it. If you want a refund through Steam or something, there's a limited time. If. you accidentally buy the wrong version of a game, it's a lot of hassle. If you get tired of the game, or just don't really like it, it's basically stuck in your library forever
Attaching the files to NFTs will make these things possible and even easy.
You probably won't even know you're interacting with NFT technology
