I have never been able to figure out the answer to this, so maybe someone here knows: exactly how does one implement blockchain technology into a game, and what's the purpose of doing so? Like in terms of actual gameplay, what's it supposed to achieve? Is there a valid reason you'd want to include it?
Yeah I've been wondering the same thing too, like what's the point? I've seen some devs try to use blockchain for tracking ownership of items, so you could trade/sell items to others and it would all be tracked and verified through the blockchain. But if you're playing a game that's hosted by a centralized server, then just use a database. I don't see any benefit for a decentralized blockchain when you're playing on a centralized server.
There isn't a use case. They created a product and keep trying to shoehorn it into any industry they can.
The use case is being a buzzword they can use to scam cryptobros and the gullible.
