Pretty natural. A lot of games already have to think about economics (e.g. wow). Now with crypto you can have an in game economy that can extended beyond your game making your users real money and incentivizing adoption.

>incentivizing adoption

You mean promising that some day other people will pay you for playing an un-fun game instead of actually making a fun playable game in the first place.

So if it was a fun game (subjective) you would have no issue?

It's a benefit for players to be able to earn coins ingame and exchange them with other currencies.

The current status quo is you can only buy virtual currency in games, not sell them.

Crypto in game gives more power to users.

This is something that nobody in the industry wants so it will likely never happen
