In the post, he talks about how he thinks NFTs will incentivize the creation of more compelling and game-changing user-generated content going forward. What are your thoughts about this?

Crazycrab Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 He's talking out his fucking arse! NFT's are a total sham, the ultimate snake oil. It's paying and trading for a code generated by Blockchain, in other words literally nothing! It's an absolute joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 What's an NFT? Oh, hello sirs, madam's... idiots, I'm not choosy, have I got a deal for you! I have, for you, a clock! A very nice clock. This clock! And I offer you this clock, that will totally be yours. You'll even have a receipt to prove it, see; Now, I will confess, this isn't the most practical of clocks so you won't be able to take it with you, bring it home, charge people to look at it or do... pretty much anything with it. Hell, I myself don't even own it, but what's important is that it will be YOUR clock for the bargain price of $3000. Hell, for an extra $2000, I'll throw if this delightful celling! Form an orderly cue, I can sell you all the clock. Seriously, buy this clock from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 While playing axie, karastar I realize the NFT is never yours, you just rent it to play the game and you stop playing you lose it mentally and require game to survive forever to own the NFT. Which is not worth it be it on the blockchain or the off the blockchain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If you read the whole brainfart you realize this is basically his evil manifesto. It is so bad on so many levels besides NFTs that only an international supervillain could've come up with it. Crazycrab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically said that gaming is becoming more decentralized to give incentive for people to spend money to make the gaming environment run itself. I don’t know what part of that makes the least sense or maybe I interpreted the villainous wording wrong. Too many hints there and not one direct explanation.

Kane99 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 This is disgusting. These studios just keep finding ways to be more greedy. Aren't microtransactions enough? Loot boxes? Now we are adding nfts to games because monies? It's like these companies don't understand how awful they look to the gamers and the community. It's quite sad.

For one he doesn't understand the idea of "playing for fun" and views it with contempt. He thinks that people should play for profits, so he wants gamers to be like wow gold farmers. Then he thinks modding is bad because there are no financial incentives involved. Never mind that bethesda has been obliterated when they tried to implement a pay for mods system. Modding is great because modders make things they think would be nice to have in games, not things they think they can make a quick buck off of.

skyfire Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 It's like anything good you build and make it decentralized these people come out and try to turn into for profit, gate keeping for profit thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatman Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I'm not surprised at this at all because they are all looking for ways to milk gamers and make more money for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
