I personally never see the gaming use cases for this going mainstream. The bigger players in this right now (ex: Axie) are super exploitative l, especially of poorer individuals and its business model reeks of a pyramid scheme. As for the broader ideas, I don't think the incentives line up. What incentive does a video game developer, especially a large one, have to support any of this? And how would it actually work beyond gimmicky pyramid scheme games like Axie?

Maybe I misread you, but why would a larger video game developer need to support an industry to lend it credibility? Most web 2.0 companies don't support web3, and most web3 community members would argue that this is because web3 directly threatens the web 2.0 business model. I could spend all day on Facebook making stupid posts, or play Axie Infinity and maybe make some money. Which one is worse?
