The main point of the game was so that you can save your game on the blockchain. Making a character as an NFT removed a lot of dependencies like not being able to play when a game server is down ( As it is basically impossible to stop a big blockchain), Stops cheaters from messing with their characters ( Because all the character logic like leveling up is done by a smart contract and only coding errors could lead to exploits) and trading any game asset with people is a lot more secure (Wish I had more time to write a smart contract for items it would have been a lot more fun)
