That address starts with 1337420 lol. I can't help but feel this is timed poorly though. Surely there must be some fatigue towards both gamestop and crypto.

Does anyone have insight into the possibility of this being for a second-hand gaming market?

Own and have the right to resell your digital games maybe?

With an NFT platform, the game creator might even issue the NFT such that they get a cut of any resale.

NFTs for rare in game items that can transcend any particular game's ecosystem and be bought and sold on an open marketplace maybe?

Are you Ready Player One? The future's about to get weirder.

I suppose they’ll be just as good competing with the existing NFT platforms as they competing with Steam and similar platforms.

So the ETH address is a contract that defines an NFT, but it just links to the video that is already playing on the website.

Direct IPFS link is ipfs://QmaLEchFaE7FWhc4MCvYMqoTdK8rV1yfjEC5Bz4jzQRbjS

They've also encoded the launch date as 1626261600.

The owner of the NFT is 0x10B16eEDe03cF73CbF44e4BFFFa3e6BFf36F1Fad. I don't immediately see anything interesting there.

I think about that A lot. You would need some sort of website that prevents you from creating OP items and also allows the different game makers to create NFTs without breaking other people’s games but allows them all to gain revenue through the creation.

They couldn't hide the controls, and turn on auto play on the video on the landing page... but they're gonna build an NFT platform
