I agree. Exploring this in game worlds came up in a job interview a few years ago :)

ZK proofs are potentially a transformative tool for real-tine distributed systems in general, not just games. They potentially improve laency ("ping"), by changing the communication patterns in a distributed consensus system. That's great for games and other real-time systems.

It would be amazing to have a single authoritative server in an mmo for the EU, USA, Asia, Oceania etc regions and only have bad latency if you were actually directly interacting with people from far away.
