From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Maybe you see your game as spiritual successor to a previous game and want to honor player previous progress or achievements in the previous game.
Maybe you accept third party assets and need some market for those assets, and NFTs can represent a legally binding proof of ownership of that asset.
Maybe you want keep your live service relevent by having your assets transferable among a larger ecosystem of games.
It is very much like the steam market place but unlike steam items you do actually own it, steam can't legally shut down your account or block you from transferring that ownership after the fact.
But yeah its just a tool no idea what all game makers will want to do with it.
