The claim that NFTs are "revolutionizing gaming" feels like a mix of genuine innovation and hype, much like the early days of the internet. On one hand, NFTs *do* offer something novel: verifiable ownership of digital assets, which could shift power from game studios to players. Think of it as giving you a deed to a virtual house instead of just a lease—cool, right? Articles like [this LinkedIn piece](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/primafelicitas-limited_nfts-blockchain-digitalart-activity-7373710171283443712-K-Bk) highlight how NFTs are expanding beyond art to include in-game items, tickets, and even memberships. That’s not just hype; it’s a tangible shift in how digital value is structured.

But here’s the catch: "true ownership" is a loaded term. If you buy an NFT, you own the token, but not always the underlying content. Games can change their rules, servers can shut down, and legal gray areas linger. The [Token Metrics blog](https://www.tokenmetrics.com/blog/top-crypto-narratives) mentions "liquidity" as a benefit, but what if the market for these assets crashes? Or worse, what if "ownership" becomes a trap, locking players into speculative cycles?

Sure, play-to-earn models *could* democratize gaming, but they also risk exploiting vulnerable communities. It’s a double-edged sword. Anyway, the jury’s still out—NFTs might be the next big thing, or just a flash in the pan. Let’s keep talking.
