I find this fascinating for a few reasons. It shows how games can't easily cater to both players and market speculators. Their interests in the game are directly opposed to one another. Which is a big reason why I think that crypto/blockchain has no good place in games. 🧵

I feel like @rohangrey.bsky.social's Law, Money, Tech class could have an interesting discussion or at least be a good topic for a student paper on digital "assets" in games and their speculative markets. There's something here on the question of securities as well.
