The news comes after forthcoming video game War Riders was featured on the Coinbase Wallet iOS app and then quickly withdrawn.
The Coinbase spokesperson explained that War Riders was the only app listed within the wallet that sells NFTs. Notably, CryptoKitties, the famous decentralized application for buying and breeding digital cats, isn't even featured.
Plus an early game that allowed users to earn bitcoin for playing was also removed.
While Cartified is not officially describing the gameplay yet, it's currently selling premium vehicles, of which there are only 30,000 premium vehicles of a maximum 1,180,000 vehicles throughout the whole game.
Plus, the game itself seems well suited to attract fans of post-apocalyptic games, even those that are tired of the same old, same old design.
"These vehicles will also be modernized and will not be from the 70s like it is in the most post-apocalyptic games," he said.
Beside the NFT, War Riders' players will also use an ERC-20 token called benzene within the game as money.
BZN will be released to players through caches that will be algorithmically generated by the game within its world.
BZN will function as a more traditional cryptocurrency outside the game, but players that acquire the token within the game must use their vehicles to safely get the BZN back to their garage in order to use it in the real world.
Its premium NFTs will also come with full "Tanks" of BZN, so it will be on the market in small quantities before the game goes live.
