The others have been so successful, I can see why they'd want to do this.

Time to bring out this again

And if they do overcome that criticism we'll get to the second and more disturbing stage of NFT games: Real money trading and pay-to-win.
Although, as I've been told many times in these forums, RMT and P2W are not things that Asian and/or mobile players are concerned with since they have been groomed to consider those normal and acceptable for decades already.

It has no cryptobs and "it just works".
Just saying, perception is these games are all failures, but in some cases they aren't.
That doesn't mean that they're the most successful but not every single one has failed.

Now, what exactly does Polygon bring to the gaming table? Glad you asked.

Obviously nothing to do with enhancing a player's actual game play experience, unless you are one of those folks who believe Casinos are related to "gaming."

Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
It's also a layer 2 protocol on top of the ethereum chain, and recently partnered with Polygon for EVM Zk rollups. Zero Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machines (zkEVM) is just a different type of scalable project that uses zero knowledge proofs (just another type of security) to make ..well.. NFTs. In this case, enabling smart contracts on a larger scale.
What does IMX do for gamers? Not much, unless you consider that IMX has no gas fees associated with transfers, but that's not so much doing anything for gamers as much as just, not penalizing gamers for transferring assets.

Beyond the shadows there's always light
Collector accidentally burns their $123,000 CryptoPunk
However, some confusing instructions resulted in the owner sending the punk to the burn address, effectively destroying the NFT. "I was trying to wrap it and don't know what I was doing... Thought I was following the directions exactly..." they later wrote. They also later shared that they had borrowed money in order to purchase the CryptoPunk."

Yes, the band wagon that we saw lining up before the crash is not going to happen in the next few years but we will start to see a trickle coming through, the news here should confirm that for anyone who has doubts.
This feeds back into something I always say, play your MMORPG's now because next year they won't be better games and in a few years they could be worse.
It has been done and can be done without using Crypto, blockchains or NFT's all of which are harmful to the environment and widely used in scams and money laundering for no benefit to the end consumer over traditional methods.
CS:GO, STEAM, ROBLOXs and more all have a market to sell and re-sell digital goods within a game eco-system.
NFT's within games would only work if ALL publishers/developers agreed to use the same game engine going forward as well as same way to code and manage assets and allow people to use NFT's purchased in other games across all games, things of which will never happen and we should not want that as it would limit innovation in the gaming industry.
