All three listed games allow players to buy/sell some of the items that they find while playing the game, and have for over a decade (well, D3 stopped in 2014 with the Loot 2.0 system, and became a dramatically better game for it). NFT's are in no way needed for such a model.

But it allows you to sell it outside the game. The items are transferable elsewhere, for instance they could be used as a flex or for the metaverse. This is what allows them to increase in dramatic value and be worth six figures.

Say you happen to play Fortnite against a twitch streamer of modest following. That twitch streamer like your character's outfit, and comments on it -- his viewers also comment on it. One of his viewers is a rich guy who brokers a deal to purchase it from you, and then transfers it to the Metaverse, and now his Meta Avatar wears your Fortnite skin while its browsing Wikipedia.

Or ammore detailed example:

• You create cool skin
• You happen to play against twitch streamer who likes it
• That twitch streamer buys it and starts to use it on his streams
• That twitch streamer has a celeb follower like Logan Paul that wants the skin
• Logan pays half a million for it because money means nothing to him
• Other influencers, celebs, and rich people want what Logan has so they seek you out to make them custom Fortnite skins
• You are now known for better or worse as a High-End skin crafter. Like the Gucci of Fortnite. Anything you make sells for six figures, and you are now pulling in millions of dollars doing something that makes you happy.

Yea, that scenario is highly unlikely, but the point is...no matter how unlikely it is now opportunity that exists when previously it didn't. So, yea, NFTs do the same thing but provide more opportunity to the gamer...so why the fuck not, eh?
