Gaming

from what i understand (as someone who just barely looked it up after reading your comment), it seems that it’s primarily useful in scenarios where ownership matters. recent attempts to use it manifested as nft offerings by companies like ubisoft but games that rely on it as a core mechanic include “the sandbox”, which seems to be a sim focused on buying, selling, and developing digital real estate. blockchain in this setting makes sense since you’d want to be able to verify ownership of an asset amongst other players.

however, if this is representative of all that blockchain-based games have to offer, then i completely agree with the take that they don’t make games fun. i can see it even detracting from a game by pulling the players’ attention toward a mechanic that doesn’t provide any actual entertainment value.

this is just what i’ve gathered in the brief time i read about the subject. i might be wrong about something, so others can feel free to correct me because i’m really not very familiar with the technology.
