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.

Rinse and repeat

The thing you are missing with this is the cars in GT7 are way more expensive than they were in any of the other game series. That is the complaint because the grind is far longer than it ever has been and no one really wants to grind a week (casual playing) just to earn one car.. then grind another week just to…

To get you buying those sweet, sweet microtransactions of course.

“Most of the game also requires an internet connection to play, even in single-player, supposedly to help cut down on cheating.”

Yep I play video games to escape real life.

But this game is extremely realistic in that I’m driving around in a Honda Civic and I can only dream about driving the nice cars.

“In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions. At the same time, the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it’s important for it to be linked with real-world prices.”

“The owners of these cars are aware of their cars being parked on the street.”

Silver Lake is one of the most exclusive and expensive neighborhoods in L.A.

If you pull up to a repair shop that doesn’t have a parking lot, your first thought should be “where is my car going to get stored?”

I would think the *owners* of the fancy cars would be less than thrilled about having them parked on the street. If I knew a shop was doing that with my car I wouldn’t be taking my car there.

Heh.

it was a phishing scam

Thanks. It doesn’t really help. I’m not sure who or what you’re trying to help but... We’re all over here still laughing, if it helps.

I mean Crypto (and NFTs by proxy) are designed exactly for this. Scams, money laundering, criminal activity, fraud. Not a bug, definitely in the design.

I’m 6' and I don’t have any problem with her being fired. I can’t pretend to comprehend the cultural implications of the slang she used, but you can say “I prefer tall men” without saying “Short men aren’t humans and should have surgery to fix their defect”. Replace tall/short with any other immutable identifier about…

I’m with planehugger on this; saying that a broad group of people should be ashamed of their bodies and seek surgical care to “correct” it is fucking disgusting. It wouldn’t be any different than me going on Jezebel and saying, “Fat chicks are gross, they should all just get liposuction! lolz”

Imagine a guy “joking” about how he prefers skinny chicks and says “fat women don’t have human rights”. He would also be immediately fired, this is equality

I think a person is being inappropriate anytime they suggest that someone is lesser because of a physical feature, and say they should get painful surgery to fix the supposed deficiency. That goes for the comments here, as well as the (far more common) comments women get about their physical features.

Only that’s not what she said. A person can say, for example, “I like women with small noses.” That’s different from saying, “Women with larger noses are lacking, and they should get surgery to fix their noses.”
