Again, an ingame auction house with a login is just as secure and has been so forever (that's how ebay and pretty much everything works).
No, game and store servers never have been as secure as a blockchain.
And If the game cease to exist, you still have nothing at all in the end, NFT or not...
Yes, as happens with non-nft stuff once the game gets shut down, while it's down you won't be able to use the item there.
But if it gets revived by the company or fans, nft will keep your ownership of these items because their ownership isn't stored in the database of the game's server. And for that same reason, it eases (because can be made without it, but it's a pain in the ass for multiple reasons) to reuse a same nft item in multiple games in a Amiibo fashion so even if they shut down the original game you can continue using it in other ones, or (again, can be implemented without nfts too but it's a pain in the ass) to use your game items in multiple versions of the game you may have (PC, consoles, etc).
Actual NFTs are just serial CD-Keys on a shared database, you don't own anything and it doesn't contain anything.
Nfts are basically certificates of ownership for digital items attached to them. And operate within a secure environment that makes sure they are sold following certain rules (like what percentage gets every involved actor from the related 2nd hand transactions).
Imagine being able to trade second hand games and expansion packs for games? An impossible dream that could never happen in the past. It might be possible in the future if we close our eyes, stop thinking, and pray to Ubisoft and EA for deliverance.
Normal games and dlcs could be nfts too, so nothing stops from seeing in the long term nfts being used to have an oficial and controlled 2nd hand market of digital games and dlcs.
Yeah, fuck Ubisoft and every other company trying to monetize how I game. Its absurd.
Well, all game companies monetize how you play, because this is the point of a company. Nfts aren't for that, they are to allow (and monetize it) a digital 2nd hand market of digital items, in this case in-game customization items.
I like how Ubisoft tried every business option but never succeeded, without the assassin's creed formula on every game they would be dead as f. But hey, keep trying to be everything, one day you will be nothing.
Fake news, Ubisoft is the top public gaming company in terms of revenue, way higher in the ranking if you remove from the list platform holders and mobile gaming only companies:

They have many different super successful formulas, like Rainbow Six, Just Dance or Hungry Shark series just to name a few examples.
