I am very pro-NFT and pro-blockchain but disagree with the author. Blockchain is not going to replace a MMO item database. Blockchains have bottlenecks and are not needed if you and your users are OK with a centralized database to meet high performance requirements. Now, imagine your goal was to create a distributed and decentralized MMO not owned by any single company, and permissionless so that anybody could built on top of it. For this it does make sense to use blockchain-like technology like a rollup that aggregates state deltas of many transactions, batching them into a proof that is posted to a distributed ledger.
