A marketplace being on blockchain lifts resources that a publisher would need to use to maintain their own in game marketplace. I think it could be cool for gamers for example Fortnite if I have a skin and sell that skin or trade it for others I wont have to spend as much money continuing purchasing new skins as I can keep trading or buying and selling and the publisher is earning a certain percent from these transactions so they wouldn't care that I'm not buying new content. Like you said it can definitely be exploited like MTX but I expect pushback if NFT are exploited by publishers. I just think the tech is really cool and would love to see it implemented in a non-exploitative way in video games. |
I know the benefits, but in my opinion they are far outweighed by the potential for environmental damage. If publishers want their piece of the cake, they should do something to earn it instead of pushing the cost on the environment. Also, gamers have shown again and again that they're willing to get exploited, so I don't share your faith. |
There are blockchain platforms that power NFTs that have very little environmental harm like Tezos and Solano. Also Ethereum 2.0 is rolling out in his year and that has a focus on being environmentally friendly.
