The weird thing about posts like this is that blockchain has absolutely no relevance whatsoever to anything he talked about. If two game developers wanted to have items shared across their games, there's nothing stopping them from just doing it with conventional methods. Adding blockchain tech would just be a needless and pointless extra layer of complication.
but his whole post has nothing to do with actually "owning" anything.
Also how does owning some token in a blockchain that can only be used in a specific game any different than owning some token in that specific game like it is now? Literally whats the difference?
? It's still a jpeg in the game files with a variable called "owner" you absolute moron, blockchain is useless and his ideas of gaming in the future is so trash, makes me want to unalive
No it's not true and it's 2022 so you must know that by now you dishonest shit. On the blockchain there is no single varible that verifies your property. Neither locally nor on the server. The items you own are verified on the entire blockchain, everyone in the system works together to prove that your items are truly yours. Blockchain gives ownership like nothing else on the market.
A distributed system verifying ownership just means the local variable has backups
I know you're just joking or baiting (Poe's Law) but my compsci autism flared up
except when you fall for a phishing scam, then the hacker transfers the shit out of your walllet, and without possession, you aren't the owner... and bonus ththere's zero recourse. wow fabulous system you have there moron
What's the difference between "owning" a virtual item normally within your inventory and "owning" still a virtual, nonexistent item as a blockchain nft?
Anything else beside being able to sell it for cash outside of the game?
Are you moronic? The items have no meaning outside of the game they're in.The moment the developers ban your account or shut down the servers: you lose them, ergo the developer *owns* the items, while you're just paying to access them. "Blockchain" integration is just another way of obfuscating your non-ownership.
And it's still irrelevant since it's only value exists within a context you have zero control over and can be shut down by a company once they decide to end service on that game.
Literally a less worthwhile investment than pokemon cards.
>game shuts down and item is lost >"But at least I "own" the certificate of the item that I owned which is gone now"

not to mention that the blockchain is absolutely not as "immutable" as cryptards want you to believe
there's been many examples of blockchains that touted how all data is immutable and permanent, only to then implement chainwide rollbacks once someone uses a scam or exploit to break the system

You don't really own any of those items anyway because they're meaningless by themselves and are only worth something when a video game developer voluntarily recognizes them, something which they're not legally obligated to do because the entire point of crypto is zero government oversight or regulation.
There's more. All of the shit he wrote suggests that to be able to play some games on competitive level you HAVE to grind and play other games on competitive level.
Like wtf. I HAVE to grind some shit runescape clone to get a mandatory item to play the space game? What if I don't want to play that shitty game and only excited for the space? Oh right I can just BUY THE NFT FOR OVERINFLATED AMOUNT OF MONEY. It's pay to win but worse.
The real problem in that post is that this Black person plays nothing but mobile and MMO shit
At LEAST show how le epic blockchain could work in connected singleplayer games to draw people in
Oh anon, it couldn't do any of the shit in OP's pic. I'm saying if you're making up things, at least make up things that don't involve playing 10 hours of MMOs each day

Funny thing, that generally gives even less incentive to cooperate. You ever notice how gacha companies don't let you share resources in-between games? Sure, you might have a generic paid for currency that's account-wide, like mobacoin. But you can't take your wyrmite from Dragalia and convert them into crystals in Granblue. Nor would they ever want you to, because they want you spending money on both rather than just once and ferrying resources between the two.
There will never be a magic ecosystem of shared resources between different games, the industry is geared entirely against the concept.
Thats what a huge amount of people want from vidya, theres a reason gacha games are so popular.
Telling people they have a chance to get something that other people cant or that very few people will own triggers some deep primal part of people's monkey brains. Even knowing its moronic most people will still fall for it.
There's a reason slot machines are illegal in most civilised world you fricking Black person.
Gotchas and loot boxes are the same shit and are next, Black person.
>in most civilised world you fricking Black person
Name some, because I've seen them in every Western European country I've visited
By the way, that just proves his point that people are morons who wanna gamble, to the point it needs to be forcibly taken away from them by law
>There's a reason slot machines are illegal in most civilised world you fricking Black person.
I agree with you, you moron. Im just saying a lot of people DO want that from vidya but its simply because its very effective at manipulating our monkey brains.
>he thinks the publicity wasn't planned
All the trends you see right now are curated by the companies responsible for the the products
The Morbius reddit shit, that fricking Minions trend and now this
None of it is genuine, comments are the products of AI and videos are just actors hired, then artificially made viral so as to incentivize normal people to take part.
It bombed, sure, but the meme alone probably significantly increased earnings and recouped some of the cost
What do you think is gonna happen when they make a sequel?
I didn't know there was a Minions trend or a Morbius reddit trend. I wonder why you're so well-informed about what happens on reddit
Yeah it's called existing
I use neither reddit nor tiktok but I've picked up on both trends because I have eyes
Anon you schizo morbius is dogshit and everyone knows it. I watched it on one of the artifact twitch channels and its embarassingly bad.
The morbin meme exists solely because the movie is dogshit as well.
in game economies woule collapse if there was free trading between them. at most there would be some sort of controlled exchange between the games and that has nothing to do with decentralization anymore. these cryptobros dont care or understand video games beyond them being fricktoys for their depraved day trading hobby
That entire post is like the "you own nothing and you'll like it" clip. It reads like it's meant to be a scathing parody of some dystopic future where people are grinding for meaningless shit in mobile games under Korean MMO-tier conditions, but no, it's 100% meant in earnest, and the author seems to suggest this as something desirable and good for the industry and consumer.
I wish the lizard people would at least train their representatives to disguise themselves better.
It read like someone describing a horrible dystopian vidya future, but then at the end he tries to make it sound like a positive thing.
I'm honestly confused by this post.
The future is made up of things that will happen. There you go.
For example, if its 9am and you know your train will arrive at 10am, then that train arriving is a "future" event. The ability to recognise that the train has not arrived yet (past), has currently not arrived (present), but will arrive later (future) is pretty simple.
Anything you argue to dissuade this simple statement is just you forcing a discussion.

Mommy will die in the present, the same as everyone. your provocations are baseless and prove nothing.
Show you what? I already did. The very fact that you can know something will happen (that hasnt happened yet) means the future exists. Sure, when it actually happens, it will be the "present", but the knowledge of something happening beforehand is irrefutably evidence of a future existing.
>I already did.
you offered vacuous words, yet a distinct lack of any substantive "future".

This is an incredibly cool idea, and it's basically all the cool parts of Ready Player One.
The problem is that it's simply not going to happen. Epic does not want you playing on Steam. McDonald's does not want you going to Wendy's.
And, if it was ever going to happen--of which the only conceivable situation I see it happening is in the solidification of current monopolies (in other words, rather than having five companies to buy from, you have only one, in which case they would be happy to have you in their ecosystem, of which blizzard actually did a really nice job of this at one point, where if you played hearthstone you would unlock a horse mount in wow and a card back mount in hots) which would be even more a dystopian hellscape than we currently live in, and not something to encourage--the scenario would in no way include the blockchain, which is a completely useful concept that was best left to theory before morons bought into and ponzi-schemers smelled the blood in the water.
>roasted to death by a basedboy
did they ever recover from this?
Kek imagine thinking developers would ever agree on cross-company cross-game economies. I could see Ubisoft doing this shit, then Microsoft would make their own shitty token (only useable in MS games of course), Sony would have one... Imagine 50 countries all printing their own made up money based on literally nothing and expecting people to exchange this shit internationally somehow.
>Imagine 50 countries all printing their own made up money based on literally nothing and expecting people to exchange this shit internationally somehow.
Literally how it works. The difference is, it is backed with violence. Unless Microsoft starts sending armed drones to your house, I don't quite see the same application.

They removed Siphon Life in WotLK, and added Haunt at the same time, which is almost identical, adding bonus damage to your other dots and healing you at the end (instead of just being another dot and healing you with each tick). WotLK is also when warlocks became a class with multiple dots and abilities to use in raids, compared to classic and tbc, where their rotation was literally sacrifice your demon and then spam shadow bolt.
in PvP, afflict remained really strong, but destro actually became a really good spec as well. Lock fit into a lot more comps in wotlk.
In other words, he was a casual that never raided and did no serious pvp besides battlegrounds.

The answer is simple - people like that guy just wanted to sell their scam to others, they don't care about video games or anything. Simple as that.
Good that nft are declining hard, they would only frick up more already fricked up badly market.
You missed the whole point moron. It's not about item sharing. Without blockchain certification you don't really own any of those items.

>Poe's Law
not really, sincere cryptogays are long extinct
The actual game is off-chain and all items in it can therefore be disabled or transferred at the developer's whim.
except when you fall for a phishing scam, then the hacker transfers the shit out of your walllet, and without possession, you aren't the owner... and bonus ththere's zero recourse. wow fabulous system you have there moron
hi Nicolas
please go peddle your techbro pyramid scheme bullshit elsewhere, gamers aren't as moronic as you seem to think, you might find it a bit hard
What's the difference between "owning" a virtual item normally within your inventory and "owning" still a virtual, nonexistent item as a blockchain nft?
Anything else beside being able to sell it for cash outside of the game?
The entire post is trying to sell readers on the idea of "owning" data by promising a blatant pipe dream of shared assets between different games.
Are you moronic? The items have no meaning outside of the game they're in.The moment the developers ban your account or shut down the servers: you lose them, ergo the developer *owns* the items, while you're just paying to access them. "Blockchain" integration is just another way of obfuscating your non-ownership.
And it's still irrelevant since it's only value exists within a context you have zero control over and can be shut down by a company once they decide to end service on that game.

You don't really own much of anything even if you do
Those """items""" are data that can be copy pasted infinitely .
You're essentially asking for more DRM.
