not sure what we’re mad about here or why “web3 gaming” is still hung up on the “interoperability” narrative in the year 2024 no one plays game A because they want to eventually take that character into game B - that does not make any sense at all from a game design POV this is just a silly metaverse talking point that ads nothing except problems & in fact, further deters everyday gamers with annoying crypto jargon when are we going to learn that the things that excite us, as crypto people, DO NOT translate to everyday folks “WHY CANT I TAKE IT OUT OF THE ECO?!” because this fundamentally goes against everything we know about game design… i can’t buy a gun in CoD & then take it into WoW. i can’t buy a car in FN & then take it into OSRS. i can’t buy a cosmetic in Roblox & take it into CS… i mean outside of straight up destroying the games flow & aesthetic, this would simply be IMPOSSIBLE to balance this made no sense in 2019 & it makes no sense today

I agree, this was always a bit stupid narrative to push when promoting web3 games. The only thing where this might be beneficial (IMO) is to re-assure the longevity of the in-game items. i.e. we have NFT primitives that allow you to add multiple context-aware assets, so for example 2D sprite, 3D model, etc. All on one NFT. This can potentially help in a niche case where the ecosystem has multiple games in different style so you can use the same character in 2d side scroller as well as 3D 3rd person sim/shooter. But again, this is very very niche use case

agree re gaming, novel use cases is where blockchains will thrive the issue with the space today is that people think they can just slap a blockchain onto a game & then all of a sudden it becomes a web3 game when in reality blockchains need be designed alongside core gameplay mechanics from the ground up starting in ideation
