I think NFT trend can still work on artworks direction and not just play-to-earn games. What they really need to do to make NFT be possible in the direction of the artwork is trying to get some well-known artists under this scheme. An exclusive NFT artwork from a big and well-known artist will certainly cause uproar and making headlines, attract many more professional artists to creating and publishing their arts under NFT, not just the indie or amateur artists as it right now.
Artists that are famous usually have costly price for their arts, In my opinion, it will be suitable for the NFT market because it seems NFT art is usually priced really high, different compared to NFT games because the price coming from the quality of the NFT in game for playing the game and most of NFT based game token can be earned from the game itself.
But NFT art also usually having such high price because it was hype and become the trend, many people decide to buy NFT art with high price maybe thinking if they could sell it at higher price, it's like buying land in an NFT games where the land will have higher price, although land in NFT based game also could be used for staking the token.
