Well, they could charge a subscription for access to the blockchain, I don't know how this works.

Web 3 is the commodification of all interactions so the companies can profit of everything you do instead of just 95%. Anything else is just the details they haven't quite worked out yet.

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.

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.

Also, you can put all that into game(s) without blockchain, but no one will because it's dumb.

I suppose the real question is whether the bots are also buying fastpasses.

I mean, that's the beauty of the scam, isn't it? Cryptobros are already emotionally invested in the success of anything and everything NFT, while other people won't even give this thing a second thought so the scammers don't need to waste too much time interacting with skeptics.

My guess is that they're dipping their toes in and seeing if NFTs make things sell better.

Those artists were lied to because NFTs in no way assert proof of ownership (legally) and in fact just make fraud even easier. The existence of a real problem doesn't mean that NFTs are even a step towards a solution, because they're not.

They actually didn't say anything like that at all!

You can make the same NFT over and over again tied to the same blockchain. What's gonna stop you? The only thing "unique" is the specific entry on the blockchain, which is not directly tied to the art in any way. Just reupload the exact same image and link to it with a new smart contract, bam fungible NFTS.

I mean a lot of this, if not most, comes from the executives being NFT bros or NFT bro adjacent. Logic and facts don't persuade them because their identity is caught up in these things succeeding.

People who like NFTs don't care what they are, they just want them to go up in value so they can sell them. They are also not especially good at judging what will go up in value.

Yeah I feel like a new tech gimmick has arrived and a bunch of those "idea guys" that were really into nfts in gaming have just moved on to the next thing. I'm sure there's still people out there wanting to grift or make something of it but I feel like its time as 'the next big thing' has passed.

Just think... procedurally generated AI level design.

Well, instead of giving it handcrafted rules to follow, you'd just feed it a bunch of existing level designs and it learns from that, I suppose? And then it makes an exact copy of SotN by accident.
