Host: What about NFT first games?

Like why your product is good. But most of the websites really advertise why their token is good.
Speaker: If the premise is I'm going to play two different games by two different developers and I I worked hard to level up my character and invest in one game, well, maybe it's fine that I start from scratch in the next game, right?
