I imagined it used for trading rare items. Imagine games like the classic Diablo2 where you can fight random characters and collect rare items. If each were an NFT, the ownership could be traded to other gamers for real money. In that aspect I see real value.

But that's not how it's been implemented.

Also for reference, Kodak actually patented a blockchain technology to provide IP rights to photographs taken on special cameras which actually could be extremely beneficial if properly implemented.

You can do that without nfts and blockchain. And have been able to do that in other games, and again it's just about funding a speculators market which is of no use to anyone aside from people conning other people.

Gotcha, I stopped gaming a long time ago - life keeps me too busy. I swear I'll start/finish Skyrim when I finally retire - maybe by then it'll be ported to some holographic virtual reality game system lol.

It'll probably be The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Anniversary Super Special Deluxe Ultra Ultimate Edition 2
