After millions in NFT sales, the hyped “play to earn” game was effectively dead in weeks.

    It’s not just Molyneux, even Will Wright has been behind some weird NFT project. As an old boomer that idolized some of these people it’s a real let down. Dark Knight was right man: you either die a hero or become a villain

      Ah that’s so disappointing to hear that Will Wright was partaking in this crap. He was such a pioneer in games.

        Star Citizen is the perfect example of why NFTs do not have good use cases.

        But there is no good reason for CIG to deal with the extra headache of adding NFTs on top. It’s just more cost, risk and UX complexities (let’s for the sake of argument forget about regulatory issues) for no gain.

        I looked into it (should be telling of the company) Thus far still just a lot of overpriced digital content. Over 100 dollars for a digital spaceship. 🚀

        Can be a fun game if your computer doesn’t implode trying to play it.
