The big scam is that there’s nothing inherent to the NFT which gives you any rights whatsoever. You are NOT buying artwork, you are buying a receipt that says you paid money for artwork.

Now, it is theoretically possible for artists to bundle licenses or rights transfer of some kind WITH their NFT, but there is…

It’s a scam because an NFT is not actually selling the artwork; it’s selling a receipt that absolutely nobody is legally obligated to acknowledge or respect. It’s like if I tried to buy the Mona Lisa, but instead of giving me the Mona Lisa they show me a slip of paper that says “you now officially own the Mona Lisa”…

NFTs, and cryptocurrency, are all the experience of 40+ years of escalating hyperspeculation, and a certain group of opportunists and idealists, sometimes both — very 1970s silicon valley — deciding to slam the gas pedal on it. The entire premise is rotten. I’m an artist and I don’t mind saying that I still look down…

Oh hell, of all the games shown, Tchia is somehow the one I’m most looking forward to. That game looks downright whimsical with its exploration and I’m already 100% here for playing as a be-flowered sea turtle.

Tchia looks so good! I definitely want to see more of it. Biggest and most delightful surprise of the showcase.

The more I see of Tchia the lovelier it looks.

Good.

The original article says:

The response seems like they’re going to do something about it but frankly this is a problem that is preventable far earlier than reaching these figures so I’ll be holding off from future purposes until I hear things have changed.

This is just a start. Pitting half your citizen against the other half with threat of narcing them out is the basis of all fascist government. 

If they really cared about stopping abortions, they’d be donating to birth control charities.

As I understand it, they did that so no one could sue state officials over enforcing it, and then winked at the Supreme Court and got a nod back.

Man who makes game exclusively about killing claims to be “pro-life.”

It’s only a loophole if you pretend the Supremacy Clause (federal law supersedes all local law) doesn’t exist, which the Supreme Court’s majority is choosing to do and hope they can get away with it. It’s why they did not hear the case and just threw it on the shadow docket, because any constitutional lawyer worth a…

The US is ranked 61st in Freedom House’s most recent Freedom in the World report, about on the same level as Romania and Poland. Americans have this weird belief their country is the pinnacle of freedom when it’s not even close.

What an absolutely terrible person.
I’m sad to say I’m not surprised that a state of the USA, a country that hasn’t ratified or even signed a whole list of protocols aimed to combat crimes against humanity, allows yet another law actually enforcing what in most countries would be seen as a crime against humanity.

This…

Gibson’s a POS and he will have earned every bit of the tidal wave of shit that’s about to tsunami him.

LOL from a pro-choice standpoint that’s hilarious, but from a human standpoint, also sad. It’s like a bad parent (I have two of them) “Yeah, we’ll support your law, but you’re the ones that have to enforce it”
Passing the buck and creating unrest between your citizens, nice.

This sucks, for the employees, for anyone who enjoyed their games, for the people of Texas and nationwide who are increasingly endangered by this shit. 

Bleh, I’m not in the mood so I’ll just say that this game should technically fall under the whole ‘time limit’ going on over at China, considering its gacha mechanics.
