Say Amazon Gaming runs a promotional NFT for an MP5 across both CoD and Battlefield. CoD and Battlefield teams both implement the MP5 and include them as a legendary drop in Lootboxes. If you get the NFT in either CoD or Battlefield it automatically unlocks in the other game. How? Link your EA/Activision account with a third party wallet like Ubisoft with Digits. That's just a bit of integration code. When you load the game look at owned NFTs for weapons in the wallet and unlock them in the game for the user. NFTs can be resold so a user might now sell that NFT to another user. On reboot of the game it won't detect the NFT so the weapon is now locked, with the opposite happening for the new owner. Why would CoD and Battlefield want to introduce NFTs in lootboxes? By having a resale/collectors market on-top it'll drive sales. Why would Amazon Prime invest in having these sorts of promotional items? They already do in Apex Legends with skins. Why would Activision and EA want to have cross-game NFTs? Item longevity would inflate the price of the asset again increasing sales of lootboxes for collectables. The perk of Web3/NFT for these things over say the CS:GO store is you get a lot of that for free within the ecosystem - for example storefronts. Also you don't have to handle payments yourself! And there's a whole world of additional meta one can include to NFTs that you can't get with game assets. For example, and yes I know this is stupid, if my solution above was implemented I could also add a derivative CFD of a Gamestop share in it as a 'Charged NFT'. Why? Fuck knows lol. But maybe someone will come up with some cool features in the future. It's just something that's unique to NFTs and shows additional functionality.

I try work on important things and I don't think video games are that important, albeit they're fun. > So far you've shown exactly zero understanding of the problem. You clearly don't even understand what NFTs are. > since you are "not a total novice here" I don't appreciate your sarcastic tone to be honest, I am not sure if it's intentional or not but you comes across as a jerk with your confrontational attitude.

I skipped all the mmagical and hand-wavy description of how magical NFTs magically give you magical abilities to use something. That's not what I asked. Walk through the technical steps to implement this: "CoD and Battlefield teams both implement the MP5 and include them as a legendary drop in Lootboxes". > I don't appreciate your sarcastic tone to be honest, I am not sure if it's intentional or not but you comes across as a jerk with your confrontational attitude. No, I just don't suffer fools gladly. So far for every question and comment showing your complete lack of understanding how anyting in games works.
