Could you detail what negatives come with blockchains in games? I'd like to better understand your perspective and position. I don't know of any games that use blockchains and aren't some kind of scam, but then again it's not a hammer's fault if it's used to bludgeon someone to death. If a hypothetical good dev somehow put a blockchain in, what negatives are there due to that specific inclusion which aren't the result of malicious intent?

The negatives are similar to ordering a hamburger inside a restaurant, and having it be delivered via a car down at the nearest bus stop.

It's just a lot of waste and hassle for everyone involved.
