Someone finally figured out a good use for NFTs: Peter Molyneux is using 'land' sales from his failed blockchain game to fund the development of his new project

GUILDFORD, UNITED KINGDOM - MAY 30: Peter Molyneux, founder of 22Cans games studio and previously Lionhead games studio, photographed during a portrait shoot for Edge Magazine/Future via Getty Images, May 30, 2012. (Photo by Will Ireland/Edge Magazine/Future via Getty Images) .

It took years of wandering the wilderness, but once-famed game designer Peter Molyneux has finally done it. No, he hasn't come up with a brilliant new game that hearkens back to his glory days. This is even bigger: He's figured out how to make NFTs actually worth something.

The most recent in that long chain of bad ideas was Legacy, a blockchain-based business sim "that allows real ownership and real rewards."
