I don’t have a horse in this race and I’m not a gamer (although I used to be) and I also find it strange that gamers don’t prefer NFTs over the standard skins/cosmetics market. I can totally understand why developers and publishers prefer to keep digital assets in their own databases, but from a users perspective having it on a public blockchain seems like exactly the same product but better in terms of more options? I could understand if the aversion was around the impacts of monetising play on the culture, but many of these games already have high volume third party resale markets for digital assets so I feel like that shit has sailed? For what it’s worth, I have watched Line Goes Up and thought it was a good and fair analysis of the NFT market.

> from a users perspective having it on a public blockchain seems like exactly the same product but better in terms of more options What options? What advantages are there? Better for who, the scammers pulling the rug? Keep in mind, the oft-repeated promise of being able to move assets from one game to another is a bald faced lie, and that's pretty obvious to developers and even players, just not crypto bros and NFT shills who have never developed or played games, apparently.

People hate fees. Buying an NFT MTX is not just a fee, not just a fee fee, but like a fee fee fee.
