I would have been surprised if Batman really did remain dead for this game.

Except they aren’t? Koei Tecmo is making it. EA is publishing it and helping them out. 

This comment kindof reeks of “whatbaoutism.”

So either they completely misread why the GTA remasters were received poorly... or the GTA4/RDR remasters were looking just as bad.

Every time they use “web2" or “web3" I get more angry. The web is HIPERTEXT, http is a hipertext protocol. If you are not doing a hipertext, don’t call it web, call it something else, you criptoclowns.

he’s not gonna fuck you, dude

He’s not one of you, either, and he will never know who you are, which makes your delusion all the more sad  

They haven’t owned the Hitman IP for years. They let IO Interactive keep it when they split off.

Wow, just wow... does this mean we’ll have to open a new chapter of Darwin Awards for game studios now?

Just because you have a good template doesn’t mean the remake is gonna be good (stares in GTA)

I directly tell co-workers and managers that whether I have internet and cell coverage while I’m away or not, I will absolutely not be looking at (let alone answering) emails, texts or phone calls from work related numbers/addresses. Automatic OOO email replies are on, as is my v-mail greeting, explicitly detailing…

My biggest gripe with these games is always the big monster fights. These dragons and giants look cool and have wonderfully animated attacks, but if you’re fighting on foot you’re basically underneath it’s crotch, can’t see anything, and are rolling away the second you see a thigh start to twitch. It’s beyond silly.

So now instead of playing a game for fun, it turns into work, where you have to buy the card you need to win. This is on top of all the other, normal arguments about NFTs, namely that there is absolutely nothing that a Blockchain does here that couldn't be done better and more efficiently through normal means

There is absolutely NOTHING of value nfts could bring into a video game, they serve no gameplay purpose and whatever could be done with them can absolutely be done without, more efficiently and with less impact on the environement. And frankly speaking, the notions of “profit” or “ownership” are of no interest to the…

Because it adds literally nothing. 

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what NFTs are.

“ I’m worried that all this backlash stems from fundamental misunderstandings of what NFTs *actually* are and their applications”

What a waste of time and worry. 

I’m worried that all this backlash stems from fundamental misunderstandings of what NFTs *actually* are and their applications

If the company wanted to let you sell rare cards, they could just let you sell rare cards. Not like NFT has ever been necessary for that. Plenty of property and things have been bought and sold in games such as Second Life with cash and that came out 19 years ago, though I’m sure it’s existed far longer. E-mail and…

Because you can do all this already without NFTs. You’re adding complexity for zero added value, something that in any other industry would result in you getting your walking papers.
