    There’s a ton of games with NFT from major publishers, surprisingly, only Ubisoft’s gets a shit ton coverage. Perhaps because they were dumb enpugh to publish as a first party, perhaps not. At any rate, It’s mobile fodder to hook wales, as a desperate company, Ubi jumped on the bandwagon to make some easy money. OTOH, somehow, it’s now fashionable to dunk on Ubi. That only happens with a significant amount of advertising dollars being sprinkled to create a narrative. Word on the street is it’s coming from Satya’s drive to monopolise the western publisher scene. It doesn’t surprise me one bit.

      Can you tell me what “major publisher” released an NFT game recently? As in the last 6 months or even a year?

      Also the most expensive “card” for this NFT game is supposed to be 50000$. So that’s also the insane pricing and pay to win model associated with that game that makes it particularly egregious.

      But I’m genuinely curious to see those other NFT games recently published.

        NFT in all but name

        Straight from actiblizz, aka, Microsoft.

        And that’s before mentioning King River Capital, an alleged MS Oceania investment arm that has been digging deeper than riotinto for a web3 success to sell to stockholders while avoiding the public scrutiny of demonstrably investing in web3. Xbox is happy to host most of their shitware.

          OK so you didn’t find any NFT game by a major publisher.

          I don’t know if you really like Ubisoft and you are gaslighting me or you just randomize your comment and throw random facts.

              This FF NFT bullshit was released in early 2023.

              Your original comment was about other major publishers releasing NFT games recently and you saying we were mean just to Ubisoft because

              I checked anyway and couldn’t find any major publisher releasing that types of game in 2024. Only small NFT games from structures that are smaller than 100 people. Ubisoft has like 18k people working for them.

                “There’s a ton of games with NFT from major publishers, surprisingly, only Ubisoft’s gets a shit ton coverage. Perhaps because they were dumb enough to publish as a first party”

                Vs

                “Your original comment was about other major publishers releasing NFT games recently and you saying we were mean just to Ubisoft because”

                Tetsuo caught with its pants down chooses to move goalposts, noice! Notice the allusion to first pty vs using an investment strategy like MS to curtail the bad press. Stop with the bad faith Tetsuo, I never wrote recently and was very clear on the 3rd vs 1st pty strategy!

                  OK i will take the bait one last time:

                  What are these games with NFT from major publishers?

                  A simple question and the first sentence of your comment.

                  I couldn’t find anything for 2024 but please enlighten me.

                  I thought it was fairly obvious that it is irrelevant to mention NFT games from years ago. The issue here is that Ubisoft just released their NFT games.

                  You mentioned a diablo immortal thing and I don’t understand how this was relevant to this conversation about NFT.

                  I’m not moving the goalposts because there isn’t any. You talk about stuff that are not using NFT technology or are dated from 2023, a year where NFT was the trendy thing every major publishers indeed wanted to pursue.

                  But now Ubisoft is the only major publisher to develop a NFT game.

                    Why the sudden focus on 2024? Because otherwise your argument falls flat? That it?
