This is incredibly unlikely to happen though, a secondary market for digital licenses would eviscerate profits.

Licenses as NFTs could have the method youre looking for. When resold, the original creator of the license gets a small cut, usually about 5% of sale price. The vendor website gets tx fees and the seller gets 90-95% of the sale price.

Its a strong model imo.

Why would a game developer want that?

Why would they want residuals on digital resales?

Is that a serious question?

Yes, that is a serious question. Why should they want a resale if they can just sell a new license
