Simple rule of thumb; any time someone says blockchain in a sentence, replace it with "big slow database". Now you can think about it clearly.
Thanks, that's helpful! I've had a lot of really good responses from everyone about various use cases for blockchains in games, but "big slow database" does seem to sum up most of them remarkably well!
Ofcourse it's a over-simplification since it's actually an "append-only geo-distributed database with non-centralized control" but the former works quite well when talking with people who want to sell me blockchain.
I always ask them what is the problem that a standard DB can't solve that a blockchain can and they stumble a few steps.
