Game boss dies, triggers a web3 call which mints the NFT. What’s the problem?

Having a regular commercial centralized game with decentralized NFT items is an awkward halfway point that doesn't get you the full benefits of decentralization.

If the game itself is decentralized too, that changes things, but it's unclear if it's possible to make a game like WoW like that.

Who gets to trigger the web3 call? a centralized server?
