Except being NFTs allows them to be digital products that can be sold. Without the authenticity it ceases to be something that people would pay for.

i don't understand these sentences at all.
digital products are sold because... digital products are sold.
the authenticity is the game telling you "hey, this is yours."

scarcity is also a similar thing, gacha games tell you the rates. like if your objection is that some of them lie about it fair, though the popular ones don't and there's enough people who are damned sure to check. NFTs aren't the solution to that as much as just not lying when you say "our rate is 3% for SR," which is something you don't run into often.

Collectible NFTs: Far fewer people would pay for these or assign value to them if there was no proof of ownership.

huh? proof of ownership isn't what assigns it value at all. the game/company telling you its value does. even if you disagree with it because that character/person is far overvalued, you accept the shit luck.

Digital Art is basically just selling digital prints/commissions. the only benefit here is that the claim of "official ownership" manages to make people throw more money at them, assuming it's the actual artist. when done right this is fine, it's just done wrong a lot too. but that's a distribution issue and can be resolved that way. there's not much difference here though and once the fad is done there shouldn't be much difference.

for what it's worth this:

And sure, Blizzard to turn around one day and say "we're turning off the hearthstone servers so it doesn't matter if you have those assets in your wallet because the game doesn't exist anymore" then someone else could make a different game that adds functionality to those same assets you already possess.

actually does have some value to it in the form of sequels. they can say "Heartstone is over, we're going to Heartstone 2 and your cards are transferred to that."

this is probably done easier through NFTs/blockchains because the tech for that will be more consistently the same as opposed to a 5-10 year old game. there's definitely an element on this which would make the transfer of data easier. some cross-game integration can also be done with this, like Gwent can have a game of its own but you can play with the actual cards in The Witcher 3 as well.
