but some are

In a way, maybe, but not in a way that it solves a problem in a novel and useful way. It solves a solved problem in a worse way.

I won't necessarily dispute that.

If Blockchain tech really did solve a gaming problem in a unique way, it would be done under the hood, in such a way that developers and modders could use it to add value, but casual gamers wouldn't even realize it was being used. However, it's harder to get funding based on buzzwords that way.

This is a very good point - it isn't (and can't be) a feature, it will only ever be an implementation detail unless you're selling snake oil.
