    So there is a network and backbone to it

    Yes, it’s a permissionless P2P network.

    And you need to do something more than “I give this person a bitcoins for my game”

    Signing and sending transaction is exactly it. Transaction says that you send your bitcoins to an address controlled by the other person.

    especially when working through a separate storefront. Both to ensure that the person receives their game and you receive their currency.

    Crypto doesn’t ensure you get the product. Like with real cash, other party might just run away with money
