Inside the game just a normal database is sufficient.
Moving to outside the game is massively expensive, which is why all the game currencies that built blockchains years ago have since moved to Open Transactions.
They hope some day to have enough transaction volume between them all that with the whole family of them all paying they will be able to pay miners enough to convince miners to merged-mine them.
Merged-mining is "close to free", yet even just getting miners to merged-mine is still very very expensive.
Maybe if you plan on using merged mining too, when the time comes the dozen or however many it was coins that retreated back away from being blockchains can save a twelfth on the cost of getting miners, and you save eleven twelfths, by you joining in with them in the move to blockchains, once you and all of them all have enough volume of transactions to be able to pay a credible amount to miners?
