I don't have anything to add except fuck Web3, fuck NFTs, fuck play-to-earn, fuck the blockchain, and fuck anyone supporting this garbage. Gamers despise the cryptocurrency craze that bought up their graphics cards to generate random numbers and will never support it en-mass.

Maybe if I have anything to add, it's that gamers already dislike cosmetics without any blockchain nonsense. Cosmetics hurt esports and other competitive gaming by messing with the trained instincts around color/silhouette, and thats before we talk about any actual pay to win mechanics.

That is a good point - the PC gaming community in particular hates cryptocurrency with an absolute vengeance because of what's happened with graphics cards, among other things. Anything that goes near crypto, web3, NFTs is instantly disliked and treated with disgust.
