Gamers have already been groomed into a neat little group of gamblers by loot boxes etc. crypto makes sense.

    If you hang out in the NFT communities it is a lot of gamers who have the same behaviors co-opted for revenue. People that self-identify as gamers are just a gatekeeping irrelevant subsection of the gaming market. They protested “don't you all have phones” while the actual company accurately knew they were making revenue from mobile users who would practically never be at the gaming conference or see the memes. Lootboxes are in, microtransactions are in, presales are in…. you really think all this protesting over NFT’s is going to make them … not in? They’re the same things, an extension of the same trends. (If you haven't seen these parts of the NFT market yet and have a different conception of NFTs, the above parts have been the biggest parts of the NFT space for the last year)

      Just look at how the recent news in how big gaming publishers have announced large NFT / Crypto projects. The latest one being Ubisoft. The reactions from the broader gaming community has been nothing but pure hatred.
