I agree....there's several Layer 2 solutions with their own layers of tech. I can envision some crazy utility with the nonfungible assets in the near future.

I play a TCG game called "Gods Unchained" that utilizes NFTs. The cards are NFTs on IMX using the Starkware, Starknet tech. The game's been thru several transitions since its launch in 2018 as blockchain tech advanced, but our cards (NFTs) have managed to transition well thru the different scaling layers. I have a little experience with NFTs, and I'm optimistic about their future.
These are some exciting times for sure.

I was part of Gods unchained sale and even got few early bird bonuses for it. While it was highly profitable for me including all the airdrops i got from it, i really hated how the team seemed to be unresponsive and opaque about their issues and actions.

Game was developed so long and gaming experience far from the hearthstone it was fully plagiarized from. Something in my guts told me that they weren't telling everything, there were so many bugs that at one point i just sold everything and left. Their L2 solution was clever but it's nothing compared to matic for example. Their funding method is quite clever as they most likely don't ran out of money as long there are buyers, but how long is there going to be buyers for a game worse then hearthstone?

Yeah...in the beginning the development was sketchy. They certainly took advantage of NFT hype and got out ahead of their skies. They have several years worth of development under their belt now and have a whole new team, including Chris Clay, former Game Director for MTG: Arena. The difference between a game like Hearthstone and a game like Gods Unchained is the NFT, true ownership of game assets secured by a blockchain. In Hearthstone, the platform controls the cards....In Gods Unchained, the user owns the cards, and they can trade them on the decentralized markets, permissionlessly.

I'm not trying to endorse Gods Unchained, it's just an example of a usecase for NFTs other than goofy ape jpegs and pfps. It's also a good example of how the various layers of abstraction add utility to the NFTs, while maintaining the same level of security, without bloating the main blockchain. Anyway, I'm just saying....I don't think NFTs are going away --> they're just becoming more utilitarian. It's exciting stuff.
