People definitely use SQLite for tracking assets in the games they create. eg which resource file (bmp/snd/wav/jpg/etc) belongs to which objects, plus some string data (eg character description, stats), etc.

Saying that from seeing links to our site (sqlitebrowser.org) from game developers & users on Steam, and also people asking us questions about various database files they're trying to figure out (as an end user).

The various SQLite encryption options around seems to make a difference too, for game developers wanting a simple(-ish) way to "hide" the info from players. Embedding an encryption key isn't a fantastic approach, but it seems to be "good enough" sometimes.
