Of course they are, gamers really hate blockchain and it doesn't really offer much to most games. If anything the use cases I have seen that make sense are mostly concerned around DRM.

Also most games have been ruined with micro payments that fans of specific franchises have revolted against. The last thing they want to hear is adding more hyperfinancialization to games.

Yep. And the idea of cross-game portability of assets is a dream no one actually cares about.

Yup. If I had to say one *possible* pro, its not exactly portability but compossibility. For example, if you want to make a poker game, chances are you would have to recreate the game logic from scratch depending on your compute environment. Its not exactly alien for games like chess or poker (barring randomness issues for a second), where we actually run a single backend engine for the entire world. I could totally see every chess game integrating *the exact same* blockchain backend logic globally and the clients go wild with implementing UI, composing the same game logic across websites in your front end. We need real-time finality for that to work, and its almost here but not quite!
