I agree that is BS. I tried out a few "Play2Earn" dApps and they are in no way a replacement for modern video games. Some of them weren't even dApps, like one game running on a discord bot where you basically had to spam commands to earn tokens that you could withdraw. Guess what happened? Discord banned the bot for gambling features and the token tanked. The server is back up somehow with some features stripped out and I'm amazed people are running back to it after countless red flags.
Nobody is in it for the enjoyment because there is no "game", it's just people looking to make a quick buck. The P2E games which are "single player" necessarily have to function as a Ponzi to keep new players coming. If you try to run the game logic on chain, you will be severely limited in terms of scope which means that PvP games will need a centralized server to run the game itself in which case there's no reason not to cheat the hell out of it.
