Many crypto builders see video games as the killer app for
Web3, citing perceived benefits like ownership of in-game items as
NFTs, possible interoperability between games, and the potential to profit from rising token and NFT values. But by and large,

faced backlash from outspoken video game fans. Critics point to shallow gameplay for early NFT games, crypto industry scams, and falling asset prices, plus a belief that game publishers will use NFTs to extract more cash from players.
