… that make it more user-friendly and whatnot, but I don’t understand how you can just casually alter someone else’s work. It’s the same as looking at an illustration and going, “It sucked so I fixed it for you.”
So let me come up with another analogy:
I bought a Japanese chef knife, love the craftmanship on it, but need to sharpen it every know an then. Also the handle came off in the dishwasher, so I 3D printed one with Kirby on it.
Also, the analogy does not apply to an undamaged painting. A painting that can be viewed cannot be inproved function wise. Although I am all for derivate work of that painting. For exmple in another medium.
Like this 3D / VR painting based on Van Gogh: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/van-gogh-d828cf07eacd4f14bb48576731ec7833

The whole point is that the certification of ownership will even surpass the death of the game. It still work in 3rd part apps and still can be traded.
It’s simillar to a banned magic card. You can’t use it in tournament play, but you can sell it on the secondary market.
Also someone can implement and host an alternative game client to the item ownership data.
Obviously you should only play decentralized open source games to prevent the scenario of shutdown.
I actually don’t, this was for sake of the analogy and the freedom of being able to :)
