That is a common scheme with NFTS these days.  That whole Ape thing gets you access to discover and “Club” of other idiots who bought ugly ape pictures for thousands of dollars.

So NFT purchasers will receive the right to say that they paid money for something that they can’t ever actually use for another purpose other than to literally just say that they bought it.

You’ve been able to download PS4 and 2 games for years. It isn’t new at all, just poorly marketed.

You didn’t even bother to grab Control? Or do you have it on PC already?

I’m very excited for Dirty 5 as a PS5 owner. I wasn’t sure I’d have the time to devote to this game, so it’s nice to get it included in PS+ without the pressure of buying it. Likewise for P5: Strikers, although, I had the added hesitation of not caring for the chore/time management aspect of Persona 5, so I wasn’t…

Right. To succeed in capitalism to the fullest extent, you have to give up your soul/humanity. You have to devote yourself entirely to making man-made currency as quickly and as easily as possible.

Sadly, greed has settled in by the time, and you’re insatiable. No matter how much value or money you’d have, you will…

The monetization of UGC has already been a thing for years now, NFT’s really don’t add anything of value to that process.

Shareholders but also idiots still buy the products, anyway. I used to be an idiot but I’m tired of it. With the Indie scene being what it is, there is no good reason to support these massive companies anymore. We can have our cake and eat it, too. And anyone working for these idiot companies can move on and join an…

No.

“If you’re a modder wouldn’t you be into nft’s as a way to get extra money off your hard work?”

You jumped right to the shareholders, so it’s apparent that you do in fact get it. 

That NFTs help artists and “content creators” is the biggest lie about this whole scam. Yeah, a few of those people become insanely rich selling NFTs, but the vast majority doesn’t, and the system is made to encourage and facilitate this, as part of its ultra-capitalist ideological background. Those who peddle NFTs nee…

Cryptocurrency in general is a pyramid scheme; NFTs are a gold brick scam implemented on top of that.

The seeming distaste with which Square-Enix’s president speaks about gamers who play to have fun really explains a lot about most of their recent output.

I seriously doubt game companies like SE don’t have the PR research team to see this is not a popular thing to embrace. I also have a hard time imagining the SE President is so insulated by crypto bros that he isn’t getting the other side of the argument about (in reality) NFTs are awful.

It's another way for MLM and it's worse as it's horrible for the environment.

Traditional gaming has offered no explicit incentive to this latter group of people, who were motivated strictly by such inconsistent personal feelings as goodwill and volunteer spirit.

“I realize that some people who “play to have fun” and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends, and understandably so. However, I believe that there will be a certain number of people whose motivation is to “play to contribute,” by which I mean to help make…

Maybe it’s just me, but I read “play to have fun” as “PlAy To HaVe FuN.” It’s nice to know what the heads of these companies think of the people who keep them swimming in cash.

Fuck off.
