Yeah, they're just calling it Web3.0 to make it sound like this huge revolution that you won't want to miss out on, ultimately it's all meant to pump the value of crypto.

There are no examples because it's a completely dumb idea. The core ideal behind 'Web3.0' is a return to a mythical decentralised internet, like 'Web 1.0' was where individuals had "ownership" of their own web presence by either being an enthusiast who ran a webserver at home or had a Myspace or Geocities site; except now it'll all use blockchains for some reason (the reason is because otherwise there's no use for cryptocurrency in it) and no companies will be able to exert their influence because cryptocurrency is immune to the mechanics of capitalism despite being pure distilled capitalism.

Hey Anyone at Stadia, turn my Video games into NFTs its already a digital asset posted:or at least on a secondary market, if the platform is going to just to be in limbo, give some people the option to turn their game into NFTs, it's not like its not possible its doable with ERC-721 token (smart contract) might as well give people the options. OP posted:oh jee thanks, and i see the internet shows a bunch of kdis who have no clue what NFTs are thanks for showing ignrance, stadia a dying platform with games i barely play so it makes sense to turn the digital games into NFTs and they let us sell it back to them to recoup a loss. OP posted:NFTs aren j.pegs kid , theyre State ID and social secuirty forms, dont worry ill make sure google looks at my ERC-721 contracts. OP posted:you should go to school and learn financial literacy, seriously. OP posted:seeing the amount of ignorance here, i'm going to work on a smart contract using solidity, i'm going to turn stadia games into NFTs i want my money for half of the games on the platform and i know for a fact its possible. You, people, are weird and need to stop cherry-picking thinking NFTs are just stupid monkey pics, stadia games are digital assets, theyre living in the google ecosystem and we can get our money if they turn the entire game into NFT. God bless all of you. OP posted:sir look into blockchain and NFTs specifically ERC-721 smh im turning my games into NFTs youre just jabbering nonse, its 2022 the internet has changed, NFTs arent just stupid j.peg photos they arent scams, they are fungible / nonefungle tokens aka you can turn airplane seats into NFTs, you can turn state IDs and even digital games, Stadia platform has no upcoming games its a dying platform, and im going to show how i can get refund back by turning my games into NFTs, stop hating and grow up. OP posted:no sir not sketchy at all, i even work with a company creating NFTs, its not just a j.peg its digital objects, gee idk like stadia games. educate yourself before talking crap sir OP posted:give me a week, im going to show the community and every gamer here using Python and solidity to create an ERC-721 contract, im going to turn the games into NFTs grow up this is the future, especially for digital games.

Philman posted:'nfts scam' + 'if we only got 1% of fortnites market share' = that dumb cowboy game. That's the funny part about NFT scam games, the game part is a complete after thought. They pitch it as "It's like game X and Y and whatever else is popular currently all combined into one" but they never explain why I would want to play their shittier version of Fortnite over just playing actual Fortnite. I've always said the one thing holding back Fortnite is the lack of cowboy hats with unique serial numbers stamped into the leather.

Jesus, that sounds loving horrifying. "Hey, want to play this space game? You need to grind for stuff in this fantasy game. Oh, you want to actually get anywhere in this fantasy game? You need to grind this match-3 game so your buddy who spent two loving years grinding can make you something (unless you need it for this other stupid bullshit in a completely unrelated game), and also it'll take an hour for him to do, and also there's a lot of waiting because shut up." This sounds like some crypto-huffing fucknozzle who hasn't played an actual video game since the early 2000s.

Every cryptoturd's idea for a web3 blockchain game now means that every game is pay-to-win. And theoretically you could take your $1000 you invested in the first game, sell all your poo poo after a year of playing, and put it all in to another game until you get bored of that one too. Once game companies realize they won't be making any revenue except transaction fees they're gonna reverse course quickly lol

the "only" thing holding back cross-game inventories or whatever is the fact that exactly zero devs or companies want to do it for all kinds of reasons but when I really, truly, think about it? Imagine a dev balancing something slightly in their own game (nerf, buff, it don't matter) and then causing cascading drama across an arbitrary number of it'd be the purest comedy

I don't think any of that is supposed to be "fun" because the point is to make money by gambling on crypto poo poo. They're basically describing all the fancy animations and flashing lights on the screen of a slot machine.

Ghostlight posted:There's nothing I love more about playing video games than logging in to check a real time cooldown then immediately exiting to do something else. Isn't that EVE Online? Elder Scrolls Online is bad enough with how you learn crafted equipment traits (inherent stat bonuses). The first trait takes six real life hours to learn per item category (one-handed swords, daggers, helmets, belts, etc.) and then doubles for each trait after that. So six, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192 hours, up to 30+ real life days for the final trait. There are 21 armor categories (three armor "weights" with seven pieces each), 12 weapons types, and two jewelry types with nine traits each so researching them all could take over a real life year year. So of course you can buy "Instant Research" scrolls in the cash shop to speed things up. Luckily you can max out all crafting professions on a single character and then ignore crafting on your alts. Same goes for leveling up the three stats of your character's mount/riding "skill": Speed, Inventory, and Stamina. Each stat has a maximum of sixty and you start at zero. You can level up one skill a day by a single point with a small amount of in-game currency so getting a single character fully leveled will take about six real life months. And again there are "Skill Books" in the cash shop that speed this way up. This is one of the reason I have not created a new character in while as mounts feel bad unless you stats have been leveled enough.

Forcing you to check in every day for "daily quests" and whatnot is a pretty standard way of forcing engagement. The idea being that even if you find it unpleasant, it still ensures that you remember the game exists.

That’s what I want, as a company: a failure Cascade with someone hacks the currency in one game, and then can spend it elsewhere, requiring full rollbacks of every game connected. Meanwhile, i’ve created a used game market for my own catalog for no reason, so instead of selling discounted games or bundling them for sales on steam, I get 0% of new sales.

Oh, here's some other concerns that, of course, no crypto dipshit thought of. There were games for the XBox 360 that people would buy and play just because they gave easy gamerscore, one example being Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Burning Earth, which I am just assuming was mediocre at best but that's not the point, the point is that you could get a perfect score on the game within a few minutes. Now imagine an ecosystem where people had a direct financial incentive to create and sell these games. It talks about "you can play these other games to get stuff in other games," and it was touched upon, but something like it has already happened. Remember when Blizzard offered people Overwatch skins for playing Heroes of the Storm? Remember how people played just enough Heroes of the Storm to get their skins and then bailed forever because they didn't want to play a loving MOBA? I am sure that the people there to actually play a MOBA were also not thrilled with the rush of people who neither knew nor cared how to actually play and were basically dragging down the experience for the people actually there to play. Hell, I don't even need to leave Blizzard for examples of this and you can find an example without having to go to other games. Blizzard had a seasonal event called "Children's Day," and getting all of the shinies required doing stuff in PVP, things like "capture the flag" or "pick up a dropped flag," and the people who were there just to get those achievements were not doing things like "try to actually win." It was, needless to say, incredibly disruptive and unpopular due to the PVPers resenting the achievement hunters loving up the game and all the achievement hunters resenting the incredibly difficult to get achievements that required doing poo poo that makes winning less likely, since one of the achievements you needed was "return a captured flag," and you can't return a flag that doesn't get captured, so you'd let people take the flag, and then everyone would race to kill that guy, and then race to click the flag (one person would get it and be done with this horseshit). They recently removed the PVP achievements after twelve years of people talking about how lovely it is. And these are just a few examples off the top of my head about how "do this other thing you don't want to do so you can do the thing you can" is horrible and disruptive, and doesn't get into the fact that the ability to do this kind of poo poo already exists, since the recent crop of Pokemon games can share Pokemon with each other. And there's the often brought up "TF2 hats" thing. And even then, this is all making the incredibly generous assumption that these games just talk to the blockchain, rather than being run on the blockchain, which is immutable and unpatchable and surely that can't have any problems.

I mean, who doesn't dream of having to grind their MMO crafting materials in Candy Crush? And in classic cryptobro fashion, there's still no explanation for why those mechanics require the use of a blockchain. Or why gaming companies would want to incentivise you to play the competition's games instead of theirs.

5% is not a low drop rate; an uncountable number of such things would exist before the closing of the first day and crash any market they would be entered into. Also lol at the idea of geometrically increasing the amount of busywork a dedicated player would need to do to stay competitive.

The end game of that scenario is a select few super "clans" would dominate all of gaming by having a bunch of members online grinding 24/7 meaning that any individual player would never achieve anything as far as item progression goes.
