You know... it will be interesting to see if/when Tari gets through it's alpha/beta phases, if something like Risto's game will be able to go online in a more "decentralized" and "trustless" manner. I tried playing that game initially when I got into xmr, but I just really never was into those sorts of games. I'm sure someone like Smooth or any others old school players will take on that sort of project.
There are plenty asset platforms out there already. Problem is that games dont want to bother with additional things. Store blockhain asset in secure wallets. I guess for that new generation of gamers will have to grow. We will see. If Risto would ever want to put any of his game asset on blockchain he could easily do it back then.

I agree that it's a very "meh" thing to think about if you are just talking about assets for games and what not. What's exciting thinking for me when thinking about Tari is how it will allow true peer-to-peer sells of things such as music concert/sporting events/etc. tickets over the internet, as well as COA's for things like art, property, etc.
I'm a big fan of all things live music for instance, and I hate the fact that ticketmaster has essentially monopolized the ticket trading/selling for people to do themselves. They force bands to go through their system, and it's all digital scans rather than real ticket stubs any more. Sure people can screen shot that code and "sell" it to someone else, but the buyer can't verify that it's legit until they get up to the person scanning tickets and have to hope they get in.
I still don't know much about Tari and how it's similar/not similar to Eth and all other "smart asset" platforms, but if there can be something that is a "privacy focused" digital asset platform that uses "opt in" publicity for non-fungible tokens assets like a concert ticket would be, will be exciting to watch.
