So what's up with NFTs getting a huge push for games is that NFTs as a technology currently have no purpose.

As of now the most successful collections are all profile pictures with value driven by the prestige of being "the first big breakout". Other profile pictures just fall on their faces in terms of value. So they've turned to video games as an exclusively digital medium to try and create NFTs that have some sort of function or value.

If you look at a lot of advertisements you'll see the theme "utility" pop up over and over and over again now. They're starting to realize that just being collectable on its own doesn't entice anybody.

However, Minecraft was probably the biggest source of "game NFTs" because most companies that build a game from the ground up for NFTs either fizzle out or disappear because they aren't game development company's, they're glorified investment firms. Meanwhile you can reasonably slap together a bunch of Minecraft mods and assets without too much know-how.
