1. A method for use with a system that includes a processor and a memory, the method comprising:
receiving an application launch request for user's play of a game via a game application having a game non-fungible token (NFT) associated therewith, wherein the game application is associated with a current game version of the game application and the game NFT was generated based on a prior game version of the game application;
generating, via the game application and in response to the application launch request, launch metadata;
sending the launch metadata to an NFT wallet, the NFT wallet containing a private key associated with the game NFT;
receiving, from the NFT wallet, a launch response that is generated based on the private key;
generating, via the game application and based on the launch response, an ownership check;
sending the ownership check to a blockchain system that stores the game NFT;
receiving, from the blockchain system, an ownership validation response that indicates when user's ownership of the game NFT is verified and an indication of when the prior game version has been superseded by the current game version; and
enabling, via the game application, the user's play of the game when the ownership validation response indicates the user's ownership of the game NFT is verified and when the prior game version has been superseded by the current game version.
