Yeah, pretty much. I don't even think it was that big a secret. any studio running a Games as a Service would love to be a middleman taking in money from their biggest players. Crypto not being bound by any one country's monetary laws helps a lot as well.

It's not necessarily so they can get around gambling laws, but that could be one other side effect. Hell, for an NFT game like this you don't even need lootboxes to financnce the game. Just your 90's MMO style grinding and maybe some community functions.
