    You’re just saying a bunch of things that don’t actually mean anything now. I don’t even know what you’re trying to say with the financial stuff, but with the games stuff, how is there utility in trading a skin outside a game when you can only use it in that game anyway? Besides companies would have to adopt that tech. How is having a public ledger proving you own a skin in BigShinyGame worthwhile if in order to use that skin you have to log into your account on BigShinyGames servers and use their matchmaking service. If you’re relying on a company to host a multiplayer game for you anyway, why not keep relying on them to host your items? If the game goes away so does all the value of your stuff.

      I’m sorry if you think financial accountability and the ability to trade/sell items outside of a walled-garden don’t mean anything. And, I don’t know if you missed it but the fact that there could be interoperability in games answers your question. I know, it’s not a thing now, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be. The internet wasn’t a thing in the early 90’s and no one could have imagined what utility it would have brought 20-years down the line, but here we are. Let me put it to you like this, regardless of how you feel about it, does it negatively affect you to have more options? Why are you on Lemmy when there’s Reddit and Facebook? The tech doesn’t negatively affect you, and regardless if you think it has any utility or it’s dumb, that doesn’t mean others share your opinion. Even if those people are the minority, does it mean we should tell them they can’t do something just because we don’t like it or can’t see the benefit in it? Literally, of all places I would have assumed Lemmy users would have been more open-minded and tolerant of things. lol… Have a good day.
