Could be an interesting idea if used for more than just payments.
Like, reading a chip from a controller to make stuff happen in a game? That's basically what was called toys-to-life games. Skylanders, Lego Dimensions, Disney Infinity, and for whoever remembers that, Ubisoft's Starlink.
They're almost all dead and only Nintendo's amiibo kind of survive.
The last thing I want to do while playing a game is look away from the screen and start acknowledging the controller. The whole point is immersion for me. Don’t remind me I have to deal with this pesky corporeal form.
