Are NFT’s a Backlash to Grinding and Online Games?

I’m trying to understand about NFT’s (non-fungible tokens). The more I read the more this seems to be some kind of backlash to online games in which you work/grind/farm to get what is essentially a digital image or file, one copy of it, which you in fact do not own.

NFT seems to be a way to own something which you still don’t really own. You may have fought, worked, or otherwise feel you own it, but you did not create it so you have no copyrights to the original image/game/whatever digital file it is.

If the original artist does not create an NFT for their image and then agree to sell the rights along with the NFT, what does anyone who buys the NFT really own? Kind of claiming to own something without having any real rights to do so. Or, do they own a copy, like a screen capture of the original, and then believe the artist no longer has rights to the image?

Complicated.

Often Labelled as Selfish, Unfairly

Chaotic neutral alignment – Often labelled as selfish. Unfairly. Yes, I’d make sure I got on the lifeboat, but I wouldn’t push everyone else off. I want them to live… and help bail if we start sinking.

An Idea Found Online…

I read about the idea of a Museum of Dungeons & Dragons on Facebook, after noticing a link to it on Twitter. I looked for it. But, there is just a slightly active Facebook page for it. The idea didn’t get off the ground. Like so many others they seemed to rely on getting funding before they really shook off the dust and got started. I don’t think many things can get funding/ money when they don’t really have much for anyone to see. Anyway, I like the idea but I probably won’t have time to do much with it. At least not right away. Another one for my personal back burner.
