BrianRx posted:Why didn't these companies go all in on hats in the last decade if selling imaginary video game objects is the wave of the future? There was a huge market for goobers who wanted to spend thousands of dollars on a render of a knife with a camouflage hilt in the 2010s. This is just a more complicated and fragile way of doing exactly the same thing. What am I missing? Because Valve already owner the hats and there was no investor storytime of how people could get in the ground floor with them. There is literally 0 benefit to NFTs for videogames that could not be better handled by a centralized database, or to my amusement with the ubisoft stuff, is handled by a central database but we pretend the NFT does something other than help waste the earths limited resources

So apparently Quartz (Ubisofts NFT program) has sold all of 15 things for 400 total dollars total all sales summed up since launching. Which is good because its in line with the other "NFT market is real right?" Outcomes from hollywood trying to get in on it are doing which hopefully helps convince bean counters theres only money in it if you're willing to run a scam.

To keep them rare or whatever you apparently need 600 hours or something insane in the game to qualify for purchase but again, if they know that about you they don't need the nft

Also, getting in early means "being the person who created the NFT"

Anora posted:This is just Kickstarter again, except instead of getting Bloodstained and Hollow Knight, you get nothing, ever. Yes, and it is hilarious every single time. I just mentally replace "we are making an mmo" with "we will make you 14 again" because its what they want and both are equally likely to happen.

Clarste posted:My guess is that they're dipping their toes in and seeing if NFTs make things sell better. Still laughing at Chevy trying this and having 0 bids despite the customer also getting a car. They then extended the auction and got... 0 more bids.

MH Knights posted: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. 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.
