Wait, what is the use case for crypto in videogames? Is the idea that you can document the purchase of unique items in the game and possibly trade/sell them to others as NFTs? How is that different from hats in TF2 or skins in CS? Where do coins come in?

Why didn't these companies go all in on hats in the last decade if selling imaginary video game objects is the wave of the future? There was a huge market for goobers who wanted to spend thousands of dollars on a render of a knife with a camouflage hilt in the 2010s. This is just a more complicated and fragile way of doing exactly the same thing. What am I missing?

I miss grown ups. I don't like that the kids who ate glue in elementary school have control of world-changing amounts of "money".
