    About item codes: Item codes are just randomly generated codes from a central database (so no ownership and risk or closure). They are not unique and are frequently one time use items so user creation and trading are out. Also, they have no set standard in creation or format so implementation across games would be extremely difficult.
    Good thing I am a digital artist and can tell you how I feel about it.
    It sucks. People screenshotting/saving the images and using them as motives for tshirts/cups/bags and other merch sucks. Seeing people show up with your work in their portfolio during a job interview is a frustrating process.
    And it won't go away unless we have better and modern copyright laws. And stores who accept random images who actually give a shit about copyrights.

    But and here is the kicker. NFTs don't solve that. You have the same thing going on with NFTs. People stealing/screenshotting/saving art and make an NFT ouf ot that and then sell that for whatever amount of money.

    Edit:
    "About item codes: Item codes are just randomly generated codes from a central database (so no ownership and risk or closure).

    And again NFTs here don't make the process easier. Additionally random item implementation across different franchises makes almost zero sense. Except for specific events. Because it places a burden on the developer for having to manually remake/alter/adding whatever item you add because of the differences in game engines / art style / proportions / rigging etc.
    Secondly you already need to have an account with almost every major game publisher when playing their games. There is nothing stopping them from sending a checkmark to their own servers when playing game X to mark you down as owning item X Y and Z. And then give you a similar item or something else in a different game of theirs.
