Things I often find lacking in videos games: good storytelling, adjustable subtitle/UI size, immersive world with adequate pattern of life (eg background characters, random environment animations, ...).

Things I don't miss: NFTs, microtransactions, constant in-game awards/points collections.

That's the biggest issue with a lot of Blockchain or micro transaction games; they are first and foremost a way to make money for the company. Look at any web3.0 nft game on the market. All the marketing is "play to earn" bullshit. If a company really wanted NFTs or whatever to take off, make an exciting, engaging, fun to play game and then you can get a player base nft or no.

NFT sounds like a convoluted way to earn money for games. If a company can make a exciting, engaging, fun to play game, can't they just sell them? Adding NFTs into the game/gameplay might just annoy players and scare people away.
