    From what I read, everyone under the sun is trying to get in on the scam so on top of a galaxy of shady practices (buying your own NFT yourself to hype them and make people believe they're worth something, running massive bot campaigns on twitter, paying off people with a large follower base to pretend they bought one, etc.), one of the things these people do is try to pretend it's not completely useless to own a bunch of pixels by connecting it to an actual use to be implemented in the future. Having the NFT be an exclusive avatar of your character in an "upcoming" video game is one of the more popular angle.

    This is the case with these ugly ass generic lions, they're promising a game. Of course eventually, this happens.
