It's going to make everything worse only for the benefit of the gaming company behind it. Even the microtransactions serves them very well. The only justification for the gaming companies is the money they are going to be making from having NTFs in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as monetary incentives get in the mix the whole thing is ruined. NFTs and the metaverse are the worst things ever for gaming. Not lootbox / microtransactoins bad, try million times worse. With the information I have read which were discussed by members here and there shows, metaverse and NFTs inclusion would be a total disappointment to gaming.

Why am I not surprised with what happened with metaverse stock or something recently, they might just all be related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as what happened to the company was deserving a little bit but some people actually lot money from that bad luck incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Sony is planning on starting their own live service games and I'm not really sure if it's something that's worth it for the company or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are not really a big company, it might end up just like the other little indie companies with their own that got abandoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just like so many companies that China have forced out of business for not operating up to standard. Sony might do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 You forgot one - they're usually trash. No seriously, name me one good live-service game - don't worry, I'll wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Lol, I never got to see Live service video game, unless when I hook up online to play MMO with a friend or with someone living in another region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Sony to be thinking about getting into it seems to be weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane99 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I wish live service games would work, but the idea behind them is that they are too corrupt. Too many force you to pay to really get anywhere. Now if they were fair, the microtransactions didn't give you an edge or better skills, than I'm all for it. But when it starts to sell you more powerful stuff, then it becomes pay to win and a definite live service game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I heard that you can simply play metaverse video games and earn real crypto reward or NFTs which can be swapped for real money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, all the new projects that's been introduced into games lately are all targeted to milk more money from gamers pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
