It's insanely loving stupid. On the latest Bombcast Jeff Gerstmann of Giant Bomb mentioned that he'd popped over to the Game Awards preshow festivities to meet developers and journos for the first time in a few years, and apparently the current mood in independent publishing is that investors won't even take calls if the game pitch doesn't have "a crypto hook".

Just a bunch of idiots chasing the latest hot fad.

And in classic cryptobro fashion, there's still no explanation for why those mechanics require the use of a blockchain. Or why gaming companies would want to incentivise you to play the competition's games instead of theirs.

Yeah. Blockchain poo poo brings nothing to the table. It can't magically force gaming companies to start supporting poo poo across different games and from their competitors' games, and if game publishers wanted that poo poo, it would be happening right now, because it's been technically feasible for the past 25 years or so.
