My previous article was about why I'm still bullish on crypto games. However, I think it's also worth pointing out that I'm excited for the new kinds of resources that crypto and cryptography can make possible around games.

For instance, I'm a very high level Moira in Overwatch. That only means something to me, but it's also only known to me and to the game developers at Blizzard. The reputation is siloed in Blizzard servers and lacks composability with other infra, whether offchain or onchain.

It'd be nice if my XP, achievements, badges, and etc. were open instead and portable beyond just one company's servers or my PlayStation or my PC. You could build new experiences this way. For instance, let's say I wanted to airdrop tryout invitations for an esports team to the top 20 European support players over level 300. If the data was open and composable and interoperable, then I could programmatically generate a shortlist of candidates and then send them an invitation + claimable sponsored wallets to cover their tryout costs, all in just a few button clicks.
