Say goodbye to any sense of community that place had in the next year or two.

This place may have its bugs, but it’s definitely superior.

Oh, I believe him. I just seriously doubt that it is a good idea.

I met Peter at E3 one year before the release of Black and White two. He offered to give us (then two kids) a pre build copy of the game before it even came out. His secretary ripped it out of our hands on the way out the door and gave us some lame swag instead.

Guy has always had his head in the clouds. Love his games though.

What do you mean doing monotonous tasks for a week so you can get 2 bucks isn't engaging?!

All the NFT stuff has gone above and beyond to be as dumb as possible. There was one possible use case, the proof of uniqueness, showing that you genuinely own the one and only, and all others are copies.

So people used this technology to mass produce copies of the least unique things, because of course the actual use case is a pyramid scheme to scam people for money, and all the value of a blockchain item is the promise that it will make the buyer more money.

Oh man, you hit the nail on the head. That’s exactly what’s going on, and most gamers aren’t dumb enough to fall for it at this point.

Maybe mobile gamers are… That’s a weird market. I’ll never understand how people can shovel so much money into stuff like that.

One of my favorite physical game creators, Exploding Kittens (and Matthew Inman), decided to put NFC’s into their games…

I used to buy hundreds of dollars worth of games for myself and others from them. Ever since I got the email about it, I wrote back to them telling them I’ll never buy another one unless they reverse course of that decision. To this day, I’ve kept my word.

Crypto is bullshit, and I don’t want it sewn into the games I play.

Sometimes I’m reclining and I figure “hey I could play a game on my phone!”

Then, 20 seconds in at the best, I get hit with an ad and remember why I don’t play mobile games.

That doesn't need to be a distributed ledger, that can just be a database. The only use cases for DLT/Blockchains is where it is undesirable to have a central authority.

Games will always have a central authority - the devs - so there's just no point. Nothing is gained by decentralizing trust, and quite a lot - especially speed and simplicity - must be sacrificed.

Definitely peanut butter crunch, can't eat it too much anymore due to how much sugar is in it but damn do I've it.
