NFTs offer new paths to addiction mechanisms, related to ownership, trading, and investing (all sorts of logical fallacies and mind traps to fall into). Essentially AAA lootboxes are addictive/"juicy" enough to be illegal on a casino floor, new mechanics to add on to that would be adored by publishers(I'm not exaggerating here).
The end game will look something like a FPS shooter where guns have random stats as an NFT inventory. With a battlepass style mechanic with lootboxes for those guns. Where max stat guns are truly rare. And the max stats a gun can have will slowly rise as the season goes on. Some mechanics to juice it up like requiring killed players to watch the kill cam, that has the gun+stats displayed predominantly. And rigging matchmaking so people suspected of being able to spend more are in unfavorable matches (to encourage buyin upgrades) , and people who have recently spent in favorable matches (to ensure they get extra dopamine hits after a spend).
A feature NFTs can have is the publisher taking a cut of all trades. In this case truly rare max stats mean whales will buy them up at whale like prices. Slowly rising max prices to get those whales to cycle up to a new weapon (selling off their old and getting a new. Meaning more transaction cuts/fees).
