Simply put, gamers view NFTs as a new form of microtransaction, something they have been pushing back on for over a decade
, but this time, with the added baggage of the blockchain, its potential for scams and bad actors, and its damage to the environment.
Past anger about being taken advantage of, gamers also can’t really come up with a logical use case for NFTs that makes sense. In the case of STALKER, that game could have easily auctioned off the rights to have an NPC in the game look like you without the blockchain being involved at all. Entire digital marketplaces have existed for ages without the blockchain’s presence.
The idea that NFTs represent a more core form of ownership has not convinced many fans who see NFT markets elsewhere where that concept seems nebulous at best, and often not truly secure. The high concept pitches that your NFT item could transfer from one game to another entirely different series completely neglects the reality of game development and walled gardens.
