Before we solutionise to blockchain though we should work out how we want the world to work.
This is my main issue with discourse about NFTs and Blockchain - it gets banded around as a technical solution to solve everything before anyone has even started to think of what the requirements are for the problem we are trying to solve.

Blockchains are not useful here. Just mint something like a PGP NFT and eliminate the pointless waste of the blockchain.

You should probably learn blockchain 101 concepts like preventing double spending before making assertions with such confidence.

I can see how once such a system comes into place, it might be functional and stable. I’m not quite sure how we’d get over the threshold from where we are to there. I’m not saying it’s impossible, I do however think it’s very hard.
You don't see it now, but once many games allow you to resell the skins or game itself, and gamers get used to that, publishers that don't allow it will look evil.
Coordination between many companies is an exceptionally difficult problem without blockchains. This is what NFTs solve in a simple way - a neutral platform that every party can easily integrate with knowing the rules, API and data integrity won't change.
