Then surely the question is "why blockchain?" I think you're essentially agreeing with the article - Ubisoft's plans make no sense beyond simply being trendy.

Yes, I am. Blockchains theoretical purpose is for a scenario where you need artificial digital scarcity when there are no trusted entities. Essentially any multiplayer game will require a trusted entity to originate the NFTs, host the server, and produce the clients. If you don't need to fund a trusted entity, there's no purpose to artificial scarcity. A conventional database would obviously be much better for Ubisoft. This is just illogical fad-chasing.
