What do you mean when you say, "cryptocollectibles are powered by real life events"?

And I couldn't really find any playable components in game. Just saw race as of now. Even the dragons are not animated. Don't you think crypto games have move passed the stage of just being crypto collectibles. For example, Axie Infinity has introduced this cool fighting system. Like gather a team of 3 axies and fight against other players. There are lots of strategies, different parts, different moves. So I guess that provides more fun and utility to the game. What do you think?
