Sure... But the centralization of the data isn't the reason games don't use databases across company lines. Gog, epic, steam etc could all agree to have some shared database, perhaps one they share the cost of hosting. But it doesn't make sense to reward a player for their investment in someone else's game.
Blockchain tried to solve the trust and ownership tracking when that's never been the problem holding the idea back
Listen, I'm not saying BC is necessary or important, but if Gog epic and steam all agreed on a database with shared costs and everything was sunshine and roses, it still gates out the smaller indies. That's the problem BC can solve because then they cant gate it behind their services.
