The thing is, when a skin's ownership exists in a developer's database, that means the only way to get a skin is to buy it directly from the developer. EA doesn't want you to buy a rare FIFA Ultimate Team player from another FIFA player, they want you to buy a bunch of Ultimate Team packs from them directly. Only Valve really enables any reselling, and that's only on their closed platform, where all the money ends up back in Valve's pockets. In addition, a lot of game developers are already under scrutiny about gambling-like mechanics in their games (e.g. loot boxes). Turning this stuff into NFTs just makes it easier to cash out, which only makes the comparisons easier. The only people actually making NFT-based games are small developers using it as a marketing tool, or people using these games as a means to promote their NFT project. No large developer is making any major investments in this space, because it isn't a path to making more money then they're already making.
