That “store” that has all the games items doesn’t have the IP rights to those items.

And again and again, why would they bother creating their own marketplace when they could program their cut into the item itself and let people sell it wherever they wanted?

Youtube ads are a scam.

Close-minded is still more popular. Language evolves bro

Of course many individual NFT projects are pyramid schemes, but that’s like saying the internet is a scam because of Pets.com. I’d be much more scared of ignoring a new tech sector just because it’s cool to hate it than losing some pocket change having fun with digital collectibles.

That is literally what lots of people believe, because that is literally why people buy NFTs in the first place.

I would say decentralization is more the “whole thing” than security is when it comes to blockchain tech, but yes PoW has some advantages over PoS.

Anything I don’t like is a scam if I keep saying it’s a scam.

Banksy could tell his lawyers to sue you and you’ll probably lose.

I don’t like youtube ads, I refuse to watch youtube without an adblocker.

What’s the reason NOT to use a blockchain though? They don’t have to build an item store if they don’t want, they don’t need to keep a database and servers dedicated to this cause the Tezos blockchain handles it. And users already on Tezos don’t need to create another account and fund it solely for Ubisoft items.

Does the thought of Ubisoft having their own digital storefront make you excited? To me it sounds like another annoying siloed ecosystem that can’t interact with items from other games. Them using an existing blockchain sounds great to me overall. Is blockchain tech perfect? No, but having more openness,…

And there are people who unironically use the word literally twice in the same sentence.

Well this is on the Tezos blockchain, so the energy cost is negligible. And if the servers went dark, you wouldn’t have nothing, you’d still have a record of owning the item. Probably a pointless distinction but the way it makes so many people furious makes me think there’s something there.

You are misunderstand what that person wrote. They do own the gaming items in the sense that they can re-sell them. They do not own the intellectual property rights to those items, and they clearly didn’t imply that.

You think they are buying an NFT so they can make their own items based on that NFT and sell them commercially? I literally don’t understand how you can literally think more than literally zero people think that.

Have you never heard of ToS updates? How would their ToS for this existing Quartz system have anything to do with a future item system

I highly doubt anyone thinks they own the rights to a Ubisoft in-game cosmetic because they own an NFT of it.

Why are you clinging to this belief that they can’t make money off resales? Look at any NFT marketplace and you’ll see that a large portion of the items have a % royalty go to the creator.
