The only difference is that “NFT” is a hot buzzword that gets investors and upper management excited. In terms of what can be done on the gameplay side, there’s no difference from how TF2 hats currently work.

The only "useful" application of this idea that I can think of is if, say, Diablo 4 gives you legendary items as NFTs, then I could make my own game that reads those same NFTs and gives you equivalent items in my game (that I spent the time and resources to make, of course) and I don't think Blizzard could stop me in a technical sense. If I made my versions of the items different enough to be legally distinct then they might not even sue me for it.

You could also just make your game read the player's Diablo 4 save file and give them stuff, no NFTs needed.
