“Others say that EA is primarily interested in a merger arrangement that would allow Wilson to remain as chief executive of the combined company.”

It’s so bizarre that people are this threatened by the idea that beauty comes in all flavors.  If you’re not personally interested, move along!  No one is coming to your house to force you to love a certain way, except for conservatives.  What a boring world we would live in if everyone enjoyed exactly the same thing.

Even if you believed there was inherent value to decentralized financial records, the blockchain is not the means to do it with. Torrenting is decentralized with little to no environmental impact, for example. By contrast, blockchains are quite specifically setup for speculative profit. They all use a cost-based…

Apparently the global shipping industry has started using a blockchain-based setup called GSBN as a tool for handling a lot of logistics and recordkeeping.

Why would a game developer buy into a plan which allows a secondary market for used digital games? They’d have to pay for infrastructure to support that (because you can’t magically host the game files on the blockchain), but in supporting it they’re signing up to LOSE MONEY by selling fewer “new” copies of the game.…

(whispers) “Buddy, the grift is the use for it”

Nah man you don’t get it man it’s like decentralized and shit, you know? Like, it’s like, there’s not like The Man telling us how to um...I mean shit it’s like decentralized dawg, know what I mean?

This is a very eloquent and rational-sounding rebuttal that avoids the usual name-calling and I thank you for it.

Perfect encapsulation of the NFT Bro mindset: "you never report anything positive about NFTs therefore you're getting bribed and/or have an agenda"

not seen a single positive post or even one that explains what NFT’s can actually be used for

This isn’t a case of Kotaku being paid to crap on NFTs. This is a case of “everyone is telling you that it sucks except the people who want to get rich off you.” The idea is outright terrible from the perspective of anyone who actually consumes games (and fantastic from the perspective of anyone who wants to sell NFTs…

That post made me actually laugh, so thanks.

That’s because there isn’t anything they can be used for that isn’t already being done with simpler technology.  

I enjoy it but it’s very chill.

If Hello Games started charging for DLC, I would pay for it. That’s how amazing No Man’s Sky has become.

Trigger well pulled.  Enjoy.

Good to hear, and I’ll definitely buy one in the not-near-but-not-too-far future. My current disposable fundage is dealing with the $200 I just dropped on  Moonlighting on DVD.

Ill be honest as an owner of both.......get the series X. PS5 has become my glorified machine for pulling out my old PSVR.

This is really weird, because I happened to go to Amazon a few minutes ago just to see if the Series X was available and how extortionate the prices were, with no real intention of getting one, but when I saw them at MSRP claiming that it would be delivered to me in two days I pulled the trigger.  Then I come here and…

I love hearing feedback from people new to FromSoft - Elden Ring was my brother’s first game of theirs as well and the summons really helped him out. I think they could improve some of the AI with them and make using them a bit more interactive/fun, but it’s a fantastic start which is proving that they’ll be able to…
