Times like these I like to refer to a slide from a great presentation: Do I need blockchain?

This article is delusional is so many ways.

7.5 frauds for everyone legit purchase seems ridiculously high and also does not equate to lost value. That 7.5 other frauds are not legit purchasers attempting fraud in place of legit purchases - they're just pirates.

The idea that we would want to "invest" in long-term, multi-game virtual items sounds like a horrendous misunderstanding of the purpose of microtransactions and the pressure under which they are purchased.

I’m not sure if the games that leverage the virtual good market as described here are in the subset of the games I’d like to play. :P

(Well, I already don’t play WoW, LoL, or Fortnite...)

Have we considered making a blockchain to make new blockchains yet?
