Pointing out the omission of this point isn’t the “gotcha!” you and some others here seem to think it is, considering that point is extremely critical of virtually every main aspect of NFTs and the people using them as they currently exist. It is at most defending the hypothetical concept of an NFT, but has nothing…

The only narrative possible is “Thing X Very Bad/Thing X Very Good” It’s very sad. There’s a lot to be discussed about NFTs and the blockchain, and the fact that this nation’s press mostly consists of low-effort blogs like this, most people are completely missing out and trapped in only the culture war aspect of it. 

Is there any reason why you seemed to willfully disregard the artist’s actual point, mentioned in the gist you linked to?

I think it’s valuable to look at comments outside of a pro-crypto echo chamber. I think he is hoping to find some intelligent discussion that could further his understanding of NFTs/crypto and the issues it does have, including perception/awareness of it. Unfortunately all the detractors just repeat overblown talking…

magus’ comments are full of valuable information while still dunking on the bandwagoners. Hahah just because you are too lazy to research something must mean nobody understands it I guess. I’m too lazy to explain anything so read magus’ comments instead. Go magus!

Apparently, this is useful if you don’t trust the people who organized the creation, distribution, art, and design for actually keeping track of that fictional item.

The amount of stupid and misinformation I see in comments and the original posts around crypto is mind blowing.

The bandwagon jumping that we’re seeing from companies currently has nothing to do

Kotaku has been very critical of NFTs in like every article they post about them, what are you talking about?

Hey, thanks for providing us with another obvious target. We Kotaku commenters love clowning on crypto bros

Kotaku understands pyramid schemes and money laundering just fine

It’s more that Kotaku doesn’t understand NFTs and crypto.

I can’t speak for all game developers, but I think the stance of a lot of game devs is: if there’s a really interesting thing that can be done with NFTs and blockchain that makes better, or more interesting, or creative, or new user experiences

the company was also going to eliminate pensions for everybody hired after November 1, 2021. Also, there’s a huge gap between workers hired before 1997 and those hired afterwards - the workers wanted to close that gap. 

it’s called “solidarity”

I support those workers when the’re struggling, because if they win it makes the entire working class stronger.

pretty much everything the working class ever achieved was due to solidarity

As for “greedy”.... you mean the CEO and the rich people that own the company

My wife is big on K-dramas. I’ve watched a few with her and one that I found surprisingly good despite it not being my kind of show was Reply 1988.

I most certainly breathe through both nostrils.

Do people really not know about goosebumps? Or how digestion works? 8/14

So... the name “Vapor” is something I assume is an internal name, right? Because naming a Steam rival (Water) Vapor seems really silly. Also the fact that “vaporware” is negative connotation for ghosted games.

I take it you had a really awful time in high school English class.
