The simplest example is in-game items. Imagine if Magic the Gathering Online (MTGO) sold you NFT Magic cards instead of cards in their database. You could then use those cards in other games (not the art as that’s owned by Wizards) and continue to use them long after MTGO shuts down. There used to be a number of free, online places to play Magic with people but because digital Magic cards weren’t owned outside of Wizard’s database, everyone who played got to use any cards they wanted and so they all sued the best decks with the most expensive cards - it made those places terrible to play in. If the cards were NFTs, we could have those systems know what cards we own even if MTGO shuts down (which it basically has with how few games it supports). I don’t want to invest time/money into digital assets that are only valid for as long as a company chooses to run their servers. I’d rather have an open economy and open access to these items which other developers can use in their games that either recreate the experience of the original, or are completely new ideas. Even using MGTO as an example, there are game variants for Magic the Gathering that the official clients don’t support but independent clients can.
