It wasn’t intended as a flex, merely a preference. I am aware you can set up a computer to stream throught the tv if that’s what you want to do.

How people in crypto feel seeing all this.

Why does it matter if it exists? No one is forcing you to participate in the Battle Pass... You could just play the game and ignore all the XP nonsense.
The gameplay itself is excellent.

It’s a good thing there’s a simple remedy to this that most people do every day. Forgive me for not shedding too many tears for the banned.

Oh man this is the perfect reaction.  I've made so much money on crypto and NFTs. (I'm a huge hippie too so this bullshit position thinking all crypto hurts the environment is getting old)

Not very self-aware to be throwing stones at the crypto industry’s energy use from a gaming website (console gaming in particular has huge energy cost and leads to filled landfills). Is gaming more important than the environment?

So in your opinion after doing little to no research you found 0 carbon neutral nfts? OMI, ADA, BSC. Pretty much anything that’s not on ETH. 

How about digitized items as an nft that translates into AR? There are many applications for nfts in video games and in the real world for validation. In theory you could eliminate forms of piracy as well

Sure I’ll try. Granted you might not care about any of them:

Blockchain isn’t crypto... I understand that most of the Kotaku staff and readers are swept up in the Twitterverse when it comes to anything Bro-Tech, but Blockchain itself is not an issue at all. NFTs also are not an issue— the Crypto Punks you see scamming people are.

Videogame ownership licenses; including DLC access, In-Game cosmetics and collectibles, achievements. Unique (you had to be there) In-game event participation trophies, to name a few. Someday in the future; when we are all wearing AR sunglasses, and you walk up to someone IRL on the street. You look at them and they

Bro, your opinion is biased af. You took one extremely poor example of what this community has to offer, lazily wrote a critical piece on it instead of doing more than minimal research, and submitted to your staff so you could feel like you did some journalisming. It’s like making fun of one of the first game devs for

I don’t understand it therefore it’s a scam.

As an admitted fledgling crypto junkie but also a long-time Kotaku reader, I’m a bit surprised by the general distaste for cryptocurrencies and the sub-family of NFTs associated with cryptocurrencies on this site. It seems to be driven by the editors and it’s just curious seeing as how this is often a site that

Cool thing about NFTs is that if you are even remotely interested in some of the potential applications of this emerging technology - and you have the shocking audacity to post about it online - you are devoured within moments by the masses.

NFTs are superior to trading cards in nearly every way (can verify the rarity, can trade without leaving your house, can’t physically degrade them by mishandling) and it’s hilarious how frothy kotaku gets with the circlejerk against them. Just as silly as the people who are completely pro-nft

THESE NFTs are scams. NFTs as a tech don’t have to be scams. Also NFTs are (again) just a type of token that run on many different block chains. Some are very energy efficient, some aren’t.

The technology could have very interesting and useful applications. Things like licenses, leases, and ownership rights will thrive

People need to understand that the current implementation of NFT is extremely limited. NFTs are a cool idea, but a lot of tooling needs to be created before they actually become what they are supposed to be.

Yes! Let’s use this to paint all NFTs as bad cause I don’t get them or haven’t invested. Enjoy being lest behind. Of course these things don’t happen to any other field but yeah let’s go for NFTs since they’ll get clicks on my article
