You technically could do that but there's no real advantage to it, having an external store for a game's data isn't useful; a database is a better fit in all use cases. A game's economy doesn't exist without the game's balance and the same goes for items within that game. Trying to make some pie-in-the-sky "+4 str +4 stam leather belt" NFT is just nonsense.

I didn't say it was essential, I was filling in the details that the parent post was not able to understand. I do not play games, and I do not believe either of the two necessitates the other, I just have a knack for understanding simple concepts.
