Crypto collectibles could power in-game commerce

From massive role-playing games like World of Warcraft to first-person shooters like Call of Duty, gamers invest thousands of hours playing, progressing, and collecting rare in-game items. They may even spend some of their cash to purchase gems, swords, or skins. But up until now, there’s been no way for players to easily exchange these items with other players, or even sell them based on the time and money they’ve invested in earning them.

Transactions and exchanges of unique, in-game items and experiences represent a huge, exciting opportunity for developers and gamers alike. Gamers have been looking for better ways to buy and sell the most sought after products or upgrades, which are normally significantly more valuable than standardized, common items that any player can buy.
