COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

The next layer is the fact that I don't know what player would possibly want to interact with a system like this. If I like playing World of Warcraft, presenting me with the suggestion that if I want to get ahead in raiding I should play Candy Crush for 20 hours and then transfer resources from that game into Clash of Clans and then further beyond, would not elicit anything from me other than loud retching noises. Just the idea that this is somehow desirable to anyone is baffling. I don't know how someone can be so divorced from the modern gamer zeitgeist as to believe that. There's no incentive for players either.

The funny part about this is that in Shadowlands WoW basically has this sort of situation going on, with a whole bunch of currencies that force you to spend dozens of hours playing all sorts of content you may or may not like and then converting them back and forth in a byzantine system in order to get your gear upgraded enough so you can actually do end game raids

How's it going? Its led to the collapse of WoW (among many, many other things, although those things aren't opposed to the NFT crowd either) to the point where the catgirl MMO took its crown

This is the kind of poo poo that my inner child makes me wonder if I'm somehow missing something with crypto. Even the people that defined my childhood are running straight into the buzzsaw with this poo poo and I just cannot understand it.

Its the biggest pyramid / Ponzi scheme of all time.

Something I just thought of -- an NFT is tied to a certain blockchain, right? Can you make a competing NFT tied to a different blockchain for a piece of content?

Given EVE's playerbase a NFT blockchain game from CCP would at least generate a whole lot of comedy
