I am happy to be part of your class this season. Thus, I am here to submit my assignment. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPrvktm8eqNuHW2NBfi7XJLeiEQifC3deDYsveT2Xncws/image.png) **Advantages and Disadvantages of NFT Games** **Advantages** Here players earn and own the NFT assets. These come in form of collectibles and other rewards that are truly owned by players on the platform. This is unlike traditional gaming where users can only view their scores or rank without ownership of any asset. The NFT earn and owned are pegged to the user’s account. That way, there can’t be a loss due to shut down because the asset is in the user’s wallet. Furthermore, the assets can’t get lost through theft. This is unlike normal games where there are no assets and points earned can be lost if the application is uninstalled. Monetizing the assets is another great advantage that is absent in normal games. 3. Transfer of ownership: a player can sell his NFT to another player, thus transferring the ownership to another player. This is not possible in normal games, as you can’t transfer your points to another. 4. Uniqueness and security: collectibles in NFT games are unique and secured, thus they cannot be duplicated or possessed fraudulently. 5. Transparency: Every owner and the history of the acquisition of the assets can be traced on the blockchain. This is not obtainable in normal games. 6. It offers investment opportunities: Investors can buy the NFT from the platform and stake for higher values in the future. Gaming is also an investment, as more earning comes from playing. **Disadvantages** 1. Most NFT games are expensive to start. Thus, most potential gamers get scared away by the amount of money they need to start. 2. As the NFT gaming industry evolves, hacking is imminent and the presence of fraudsters in the industry can scare investors away. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPrvktm8eqNuHW2NBfi7XJLeiEQifC3deDYsveT2Xncws/image.png) **Five NFT Characters and Their Asset Collection Values** 1.
