It seems like any potential success GameStop could have in the digital world solely depends on Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/Valve explicitly allowing them to do so. And I see no reason why they would do so, considering not only could these companies completely handle reselling of digital games on their own market, there's little-to-no incentive for them to allow resale of digital games at all.

What if they got a small % of the resale, with a blockchain as a verified record of sales?

- Games and consoles made years ago still generating revenue. - It would incentivise companies to support repair and continued use of old products.

I think it would be instant buy-in from those larger companies.
