Donā€™t need NFTs for that. NFTs are bad for the environment.

Since game makers control the database where this info is stored, they can just do a simple INSERT to make you ā€œownerā€ of the ā€œuniqueā€ pixels. No need to crunch math for hours and add to a digital ledger.

NFTs are if you have no central authority, so everyone uses a shared blockchain. Thereā€™s literally no reason outside of just hype and buzzwords to use blockchain when you have a central authority.

Itā€™s bitcoin, but instead of a imaginary currency, you get an imaginary certificat of ownership to a bunch of pixels anyone can make exact copies of in an unlimited fashion.

AKA : a good way to part fools from their money.

I am not sure it would take away from the development of the game. I think it is more along the lines of

ā€œItā€™s simply an attempt to make easy money and take advantage of usersā€™ interest in the brand,

however, the more they can make money that way the less incentive there is to actually work at making a good game.

A virtual Ponzi scheme.

NFTs are like cryptocurrency if you remove everything useful about them and then try to sell whatā€™s left as a product. Theyā€™re popular because some wrinkly brain scammaz artist managed to convince some smooth brains that nothing was worth something because ā€œbuzzwordā€.

ubisoft made $400 off their run of NFTsā€¦ thatā€™s $400 to much. Iā€™m convinced the ā€œartā€ NFTs are a money laundering scheme.

Gamers are upset that others have more disposable income, details at 11.

Thatā€™s what it boils down to, itā€™s all jealousy. Stop worrying about what others spend their money on.
