This is a net-negative for the industry. Microsoft isn’t historically a good steward of the things they buy. They are the console manufacturer with the least goodwill toward gamers as a whole.

That’s not even considering the shit they got slapped for in the 2000s re: antitrust.  Fuck Microsoft.

This is gonna be disastrous for the entire games industry. There is no way one of the biggest companies buying out another of the biggest companies will be a net positive, it’s going to quickly turn anti-competitive and anti-consumer. But because Microsoft knows exactly what to say and what small concessions to make,…

Well yeah NFTs and cryptocurrencies would fall under the Fictitious Capital category. I’m not going to split hairs.

In what world does “stepping out to dinner” count as “partying”?

Going out to dinner is “partying”? 

NFTs are just meant to be receipts to prove transactions occurred as a way to prevent fraud on the blockchain

wow, this sounds like a real Sophie’s Choice.

Because you are getting in on the ground floor. This is how to decentralize and disrupt the establishment. The line can only go up. Its on the crypto blockchain which is the future of everything.  No more banks, no more taxes, no more government, no more gelato.  This is happening.  Don’t be a beta.

They’re now claiming they can finally start using NFTs for their intended purpose, which is...something something contract or signature authentication or something something I dunno. It’s alluded to in this article. There is apparently some magical valuable “use” for NFTs beyond just overcharging people for a…

Cowering in fear of your brutal “I told you so”! It’s your time babayyyy!

Whenever an article critical of NFTs was posted back in the day people would come out of the woodwork defending how valuable and revolutionary they would be and how you just “didn’t get it”. Where are those people now?

They were always worthless. Capitalism is dopey.

Great time to buy low everybody!!!

A good and expected result.  Now can we never talk about them again?

Boo fucking hoo.

“I am now a pariah of that subreddit,” Adkins wrote in his initial email. “I get it, hype and excitement are at an all-time high. I’m just as excited as the next person, but I draw the line at theft. I was raised to believe that crime doesn’t pay. I had hoped our society, and so-called Bethesda fans could be held to…

When Amazing Spider-Man came out, I remember my main takeaway: “Man, I really want a sequel with the same cast with a better script that doesn’t butchered in editing”

Sadly, it’s a deeply flawed movie, despite the performances and actors. It feels like a movie that was written by a committee, who then shot half of it, and then the committee ran off with the script, so a second committee met in the room where the first committee met, and wrote a new script based on the notes they…
