deep dish peat moss posted:Unity merged with ironSource (a company that finds innovative ways to insert ads into every-loving-thing) last year for pretty much the explicit purpose of doing this, and filling Unity with a bunch of other trash-tier ways for devs to monetize their games: Unity has signed a contract with the US military to provide its simulation technology for defense purposes. The Unity Engine developer announced the three-year multi-million dollar deal in 2022.

Yosuke "NFTs are the future!" Matsuda is "stepping down" as President of Square Enix. He is being replaced by Takashi Kiryu who previously worked for a technology company devoted to researching emerging trends such as blockchain and web3.

I admit I was laughing but now, well, I hope the new guy knows enough to reverse course on NFTs. Then again, who is worse, the Devil You Know or the One You Don't?

You only have to look at Dookey Dash to see how that would turn out. A bunch of people will pay large amounts of money for someone else to "win" for them and/or it will be infested with cheating. It would not be fun for the 99.9% of players who don't want to spend every waking second of their life trying to compete in the game or pay someone else to.

He is being replaced by Takashi Kiryu who previously worked for a technology company devoted to researching emerging trends such as blockchain and web3. This is weird, inaccurate reporting that I do not know where it started. He came from Dentsu which is a massive advertising agency and worked in their strategic investment department, aka "learn about and invest in hot trends before clients pay to do it with someone else". Does Dentsu own a bevvy of odd things like stakes in AKB48 and other entertainment media? Yes. Are they even remotely a blockchain company much less a tech company? Absolutely not. Youd be lucky if the average dentsu employee could figure out how to change their wallpaper background without calling a meeting with 10 other people.

Now the correct question to that is where is that actual million in dollars coming from, loving aquaman?

…setting up a machine learning algorithm to do the job would take significantly more work than just importing the item manually? And would require hiring talent that can easily contract for 4 figures an hour.

To be fair, postal services are hurting bad because costs are skyrocketing. The only mail they handle now is e-retail packages.CharlestonJew posted:They think you can just ask ChatGPT to code all of that poo poo for you and you’ll have a fully functioning game front to back within an hour Yeah no. Beyond labour, they’d also have to pay one of the big providers for ML and the pricing is probably crap unless they are doing it at a large scale.

Because if you set up a machine learning procedural graphical asset generation process (easy) that massive group of nft gamers will flock to your game, netting you additional sales in the dozens!

Leaving aside everything else wrong with this (lol a real money marketplace yeah ask Blizzard how that one went)... I'm trying to figure out how holding onto an NFT to generate value for eventual sale, which seems to be the entire point of this game, works when they inevitably release a new character class or whatever and it's inevitably OP and it destroys the existing market. And what happens when they want to nerf that NFT for when another NFT is to be released that someone presumably bought (?) for real (?) money (????) - I know that Wargaming and Gaijin don't nerf premium ships and tanks because AFAIK the EU makes companies give refunds to customers on demand for doing that kind of thing. Which doesn't seem to square well with everything about this dumpster fire of a plan. I suppose they could just keep releasing OP character after OP character or whatever but there won't be a playerbase let alone market if they do that.

Ghostlight posted:I'm the Sell arrow originating from Step 6: Rare NFTs (not for sale) My guess is that your earn those NFTs by playing, and you can sell them but not buy them directly from the game store. In other words, this is where the gold farmer bots break the game economy.

For a company that runs an mmo you would think they would realize that if bots are capable of automating even part of their nft game it will crater the price of any goods through excess supply.

When there was all that stuff about the CEO's interest in nfts this is basically what I expected it to amount to. There was all sorts of speculation about nft integration into FFXIV or whatever but just selling nft art is what Konami did and what i imagined this would all boil down to.
