So no, he didn't figure out a good use for NFTs, he just scammed people

It's the same use everyone else has "found"...

Getting people to give you money for it

But why not just sell pre-orders like a Kickstarter game?

Cause he did that for his last game, Godus in 2013 and it still isn't finished
