NFTs are ownership (by some definition of "ownership") of assets on the blockchain. The blockchain is a database that's good for trustless transactions between a sufficient number of competing parties. Video game item transfer's problems have nothing to do with the problems blockchains purport to solve. The problems faced by developers wanting to allow transferring items between different games are primarily IP licensing agreements so that developers of one game have a license to use the assets from the other game, followed by actually finding a use for items in two different games. Since the two developers need to have agreements already in place, that obviates the need for a trustless database. The most likely scenario for one item to be useful across two different games is that both games are the same genre (ie, shooter, RTS game, etc), which reduces the likelihood of developers being open to licensing agreements because their games would be competitors. NFT item transfer has never made sense for these reasons
