>Step 1 might be for "web3" proponents to stop publishing visions of the future that sound like grim dystopias. When you have game company executives mocking the idea of "play to have fun" and NFT owners pushing for browser extensions that would make copy/paste illegal without permission from the blockchain

Is this an accurate depiction of "web3 proponents" in general or just a case of nutpicking[1]? I've heard of something vaguely similar to the first claim, but I can't remember whether it actually involved NFTs or was standard games-as-a-service rhetoric. For the second claim I heard something adjacent (eg. copy pasters), but I can't tell whether they're representative of the community or extremism/satire, and haven't heard of the specific proposal of browser DRM.
