This is all very interesting, but at the same time I cannot see how this would make for better games. Maybe quite the opposite, in fact.

You seem to be arguing that putting games on the blockchain can be “incredible”, but all I could understand from your article is it will allow players to buy and sell discrete, one-of-a-kind, not-instanciated-copies of in-game items to each other.

Although it is undeniably interesting in a way, I don’t see how this will make for better games — I can see how this will make games feel more like work: an activity in which you justify the time invested in it by the monetary value you can get in return.

And it could be argued that the magic in video games is exactly how they are so purely ludic. An antithesis of work.
