Look, you mentioned Postgres. But why use it at all for anything?

It's a good tool for the job. It's well tested, supported, documented, etc

I really don't see the value that NFTs and block chain offer for games (or much else). I don't want to store my game data on some block chain. That's going to be slow and awkward. A quick Google says etherium can handle like 10 transactions a second. Bitcoin takes like 10 minutes. That's unacceptably slow.

So it's more like switching from postgres to an Excel sheet.
