Few people only understand NFTs through the lens of crypto punks and other jpegs? What about NFTs for concert tickets so an artist can better prevent scalpers. Or having your mortgage and title on the blockchain so it can be easily accessed and can't be disputed with your neighbors or other documents because it's immutable on the blockchain. Or loot from games being NFTs and you can "melt" that item to unlock the underlying coin that has a value.
With hundreds of NFT games dominating the gaming community nowadays, it is hard not to look for those who stand at the top. There are many games out there, but only a few of them poses a bright future to make it out alive against the challenges and demands of the current time and the future.
