The marriage of NFTs and video games hasn't exactly been a pleasant one, unless you're one of the lucky bootlickers who managed to get on the ground floor of the digital pyramid scheme. Unfortunately for Axie Infinity players, they're discovering exactly what happens when you run out of new people to add to the grind: it disintegrates.
For those blissfully unaware, Axie Infinity is basically a Pokémon clone, except you give Pikachu a pickaxe and throw him down into the crypto mines. You use the delicious Smooth Love Potion (yes, that's what it's called) resource that “Pikachu” pulls out from the mines to breed more "Axies," and the cycle continues. And because it's a crypto game, you can sell both these Axies and the SLP resource online for real money.
