Why is anyone throwing money at molyneux at this point? The last actual, complete game he designed was over a decade ago at this point, everything since has been junk like "what's in the cube" and Godus. Remember that RPS interview he did when it was clear Godus was hosed? It was hilarious.

TheDeadlyShoe posted:if i'm reading this right, having an NFT makes you a landlord and all the other players will have to rent keys from a landlord in order to play the game and you get a % of their crypto earnings. ...then the in-game appeal is the same sale as SC. Gotta get in on the ground floor so you're winning and everyone else will envy you and will stop telling you to get out of your mom's basement. If you spend thousands now then some day you'll have the glory of being... a slumlord? Beyond that, people are stupid and NFTs are hip. There's absolutely no difference between an in-game NFT asset linked to your account that the company running the thing can add/remove at will and a normal paid microtransaction for that same asset. It's just got that digital cool sheen.

I thought the deal with NFTs was pretty much the same as with other ridiculously-priced items (art, counterstrike weapon skins, cryptocurrency, Star Citizen ships etc). You make a bunch of "dirty" money selling drugs and people trafficking, and you use it to buy an item at a ridiculous price from yourself. Now you no longer have money from drugs and people smuggling, you have money from selling NFTs. The actual item that's supposedly changing hands isn't really involved at all - all that matters is that it's quick and easy to do the transaction and it's hard to trace.

Dwesa posted:I wouldn't be surprised if those sales are fabricated to lure suckers as someone mentioned earlier. Oh, I guess when the kickstarter for SC went live, was only a decade out from Freelancer, so it's consistent with Molyneaux at least.Also I just read the RPS interview again and I'd forgotten the OPENING QUESTION is "Do you think that you're a pathological liar?" and it's all downhill from there.

You know what, fine. Take money from morons. I don't even care anymore. quote:"Crucially, as a business association owner, you will have access to Legacy Keys. These items can be lent to other people who want to start an in-game business in Legacy, making them your in-game Business Partners. As part of your association, they will share a portion of their earned LegacyCoin with you." He's combined NFTs and crypto with multi-level marketing. All I can do is tip my hat to him, what a genius.

It's like those vintage games that was sold for ridiculous prices earlier this year, if you own 6 copies of mario bros 3, and you give your buddy a cool million and then tell him to buy one from you. The remaining 5 just increased a lot in value.

All of that makes sense in context now. I can't remember seeing showing up in this thread, which is odd given the connection and how it must be mocked relentlessly, but all of Kickstarter will be on the blockchain now, using NFT-likes to track participation stakes because It's… not going over well, but it certainly normalises the silliness we're seeing from the usual scam artists.

I would compare him to Chris Roberts, but Moltneaux delivers a finished product, so he’s more like Sean Murray, where he delivers a finished product but it’s massively different from the one he hyped for months. I’m totally speaking too kindly of him, because he really does outright lie about his games. I don’t think you ever could grow an acorn into an oak in fable (But Star Citizen’s persistence can fix this!) and I’m 99% sure that cube game thing was a huge scam and didn’t even pay out like it was promised.

Molyneux has proven multiple times to be an excellent grifter and this time he's offering you to be a part of the grift. (which is a double-layer grift by itself)

Speaking of scams, Star Atlas is apparently launching it's first iteration of the "game" today. I can't really find any info on it other than it's called SCORE and appears to be a web based thing where you buy stuff to keep your ship stocked. Why you need to keep your ship stocked I have no idea but obviously this is just t0 of the future of gaming.

Star citizen raised $400 million in 10 years. GTA 5 made $900 million in 1 year posted:I know they’re not a good comparison gamewise. And I understand GTA is a finished game from a billion dollar corporation. quote:The biggest disconnect with this is so simple it hurts: quote:It is impressive beyond all account how much CIG is accomplishing on what is relatively a shoestring budget considering the short amount of time they've been of a size to be comparable to the top of the heap of AAA development from seasoned development studios, when taken into intellectually honest context.

Mirificus posted:I find it funny that people lose their minds SC has made 400 million while GTA made over double that in 2020 alone. ~~They both released the same year. ~~ Star Citizen wasn’t playable until 2 years after GTA5. Yet Rockstar hasn’t significantly improved that game, Red Dead 2 at all, and had a terrible trilogy release (though they did get flak for that). Where’s the libelous headlines of where that money went? Haters gonna hate. Ainters gonna ain’t. *can't identify the difference between a company making money selling a complete game they made that people want to play vs. selling in-game items, some of which don't exist, for hundreds and hundreds of dollars* quote:It's also impressive the levels some will go to discount that building from nothing (no AAA title in modern memory has "come from nothing" like this) and achieving what they've done in a relatively short time, as anything other than astounding. Be careful of your confirmation bias: do you need to believe the project is so bad off that you'll ignore the ACTUAL facts? Okay. What exactly have they achieved, and how much of a 'relatively short time' did it take them?
