I'm not a fan of "collectibles" or "cosmetic items" or whatever they are called these days in games, but even I can see the use case where you can gain those in-game and then manage them outside of the game, trade them with other players, and maybe bring them with you to the next version of the game or even to another game. NFTs enable this without having to build any of the infrastructure to support it.
