Most of the crypto games are unplayable by the current standards of gaming- only selling points are their play-to-earn model and everything NFT strategy

These games are all reminiscent of early 2000s or before. GTA Vice City which was launched in 2002 could beat all these flagship crypto games to sleep.

Most of these games have no story, no character development, no world-building, no graphics (many look like pixelated flash games even), nothing.

By design most of these games are same- you've a territory which you need to protect somehow or you're building up your life by buying a fresh piece of land and then working on that piece of land to create more in-game money which are transferable to Fiat.

And then they convert everything into an NFT to fish you in. You buy anything and you'll get an NFT. Plus if you're lucky, you might win a few pennies worth coins which could be traded for Fiat.

All these popular games (axie infinity, decentraland, etc) would fit in the mould that i just described. Then what is this hype around gaming? Please, someone enlighten me too.
