Regarding 1: Sure the game itself is centralized, for example Axie Infinity might even ban players who "cheat" according to their definition of cheating. So if you are a bad apple or get banned without justification, then block chain won't help you.
If however (some years down the line) the original game creator abandons the game, any group of people could jump in and revive the game (by re-creating or updating it or doing something completely novel) based on the state that is still available on the block chain.
- icambron 5y agoThat's a nice property, but it seems like only a marginal benefit to Axie? Something like, players are more likely to invest money and energy into the game if there's some chance their assets' value will outlive Axie, thus slightly reducing the risks to their investment. Seems like that would be a small effect, or am I missing something? I guess what I'm trying to understand here is how crypto is a big game changer. Thanks for the discussion in any case.
