Last week saw over half a billion dollars exit and we haven't even seen RIOT or MARA collapse yet. It'll take time to slow rug the rest. Even the stock market has been holding up much better so far.

From Reddit: NFT Viking game went bankrupt because of investing the funding in Luna A Post The Developers Threw On Discord posted:Where did all the money go? … There was a lot of weird stuff going on in the background … stuff that as employees we didn’t know how or have the power to confront. I still don’t really know the full truth, but here is what I have been told and have witnessed: … If this sounds familiar, then no, this isn't Untamed Isles, another, entirely different game that hung its entire fate on crypto less than a month ago. This is an entirely different team making similar mistakes.  Eurogamer posted:Development on Untamed Isles could not have been funded through Kickstarter solely. Grant stated he, along with Phat Loot's shareholders and board of directors, had personally been funding the company to keep it afloat, with none of them taking a salary.

Like, we've got a bunch of guys who've been duped into thinking this stuff is not just valuable but cool and stylish, and everyone can see it's not. The difference is that these morons can't have anyone who mocks them killed, so they just retreat to their own little bubbles of other dudes who have also been duped by the same people. Degen culture.

What a time to be alive. Crowdfunded videogame rugpulls can now claim that they invested their "investors" money in a crypto rugpull, and most of the people they scammed will simply go "Aww, too bad. I was looking forward to that game." Imagine trying to explain that to your great grandpa.

PhazonLink posted:not to knock on game genres, but it seems weird that the turn base rpg-like genre get all this lcd and scam poo poo. like why? It's easier to make a large number of characters/items/whatever feel somewhat distinct without actually inventing new mechanics for them. In an action game, if you want to have fifty characters that aren't all just obviously skins of the same main character, you have to make them play somewhat differently. In a RPG, you can just tweak the stats and change some flavor text Nintendo can add a hundred new Pokemon every game because all they have to do to make new Pokemon is draw them, pick out stats for them, assign them a handful of preexisting moves, and drop them into a random encounter pool somewhere. The hardest part is making merchandise for them

In my observation, there's not too much overlap between crypto nerds and gaming nerds. So many of the unhinged screeds I've seen on the future of NFTs in games are from people who clearly have barely touched video games and know almost nothing about the medium. These people can only conceive of like three different kinds of games, and pokemon is one of them. I also think that pokemon is one of the most obvious types of games to shoehorn NFTs into. From the very beginning, the ability to trade pokemon with other people has been a key selling point, so "Why not put them on the blockchain?" is the obvious question that comes to crypto-poisoned minds.
