we will discuss it through the homework below:

1.) Describe in your own words the main Advantages and Disadvantages (Pros and Cons) of NFT Games compared to other types of games.

Today's NFT games have been developed and many people are playing them. That way of course the NFT Game has its advantages and disadvantages. Here are the Pros and Cons of NFT Games:

Pro

• Item ownership rights
  The ownership rights of items in NFT games are absolute and gamers can own items permanently, they can store items and sell them as they wish and the profits are also theirs directly.

• Multi-function items
  NFT in-game items can be used in all the different games that are on the same decentralized network. Unlike the usual games that can only use items only for a game.

• Assets are permanent
  When an NFT game stops operating, the assets in the game will not be lost. These assets can still be used in other games that are decentralized and have the same network. This is because it is influenced by data in the blockchain that will not be changed and disappear.

• Originality
  Every item in the NFT game is very original and the authenticity of the ownership of the item is highly respected.

• rewards
  Of course, this is one of the goals that makes people interested in NFT games, they offer rewards and the results are very good.

Counter

• high power consumption
  as we know that every transaction in the blockchain requires high power to verify the transaction. Therefore, even blockchain-based games have the same risk.

• Hacking Risk
  NFT is an Ethereum-based network that is still under development, so anyone using the ethereum network is at risk of being hacked, although it is less than non-NFT games.

• Expensive items
  Of course, to get a lot of results and profits in playing NFT games, you have to spend money to buy items, of course, the money that must be spent is not small.

• Monotonous game
  Often NFT games only present games that do not prioritize graphics and action. NFT games, more to collect items in the game so that the items obtained, can be sold and make a profit.

2.) Name five (5) known characters: writer, artist, athlete, or otherwise, who has digitized his work (writing, publication, painting, drawing, illustration, etc.) to produce NFT. Please indicate the value of the NFT or collection thereof, show the photo or image, and cite the source.
