Shut up and buy the tokens that contribute to over-financialization, degen-leverage, and printing money out of thin air despite being advertised as doing the opposite.
It's basically a scam trying to recreate the current internet by "hosting" websites and services on cryptoBlack person blockchains instead of servers, but it functionally serves no purpose and creates fun new ways of apocalyptic failure.

generally speaking the idea behind "web3 gaming" is "play to earn".
you play a game and you get tokens, these tokens can be used in the game to upgrade stuff or do whatever, these tokens can be traded on decentralized exchanges and exchanged into any other crypto or fiat stablecoins. (your keys your moneys, censorship resistant) so the tokens you earn could pump and increase in price and make you rich.
there is the NFTs too, these non fungible tokens represent an item or a character from a game or anything and can also be fully owned and traded on decentralized markets.
now if done right this could be a very liberating experience, a world where things are fair and exchanges are happen without a custodian, middleman or any 3rd party.
you play a videogame and other morons buying stuff in the game makes you rich IRL and you were early so your game earns you big bucks per month while you play videogames! a comfy pyramid with you at the top! if you just invest into the right project that is but you never know because how many shitty games exist? its unlikely but just the initial hype can be very profitable.
all that sounds great of course but we are still in the experimental stage and the technology isnt really there yet so if you take part in this you will have to endure a lot of risks that can cost you whatever you were willing to invest.
of course bro, the games are shitty and all but eventually someone will get it right and if you get into that early you can make a fortune and actually own the stuff.
personally I have never seen an actual fun Blockchain game and I played and seen many of them on all kinds of different platforms. they are still in the really early stone age of gaming but also in the stone ago of economy.
its more of a gambling thing for now and forseeable future.
>a comfy pyramid with you at the top!
Wow there should be a name for schemes like that.
getting rich and fleecing some other mouthbreather is of course nice too but the actual core thing is that you have a stake and ownership in the game.
imagine you could own a share of GTA V or Eve Online and own the items in the game world, imagine you could trade them and lend out your virtual car or whatever to some idiot so he pays you interest on it in ingame tokens or use the car as collateral for an interest free loan in an overcollateralized stablecoin.
there is crazy opportunities here and that is what the "Metaverse" actually is about.
of course none of that exists yet but thats the endgame.
another thing is that the game could fund itself and its development through it and that could give us freedom from centralized publishers. imagine EA wouldnt exist, would be neat but there would be a new danger, the DAO.
EA would be a decentralized octopus and could buy a stake in everything and ruin ALL the web3 games AND dump everything you own to liquidate you for your overleveraged digital assets.
why are you mad at me? I'm just trying to explain what web3 is and the idea and endgame for it.
I never said to buy anything, these posts are not financial advice and more of a warning and educational. so whatever poorgay problems you have, dont blame them on me.

None of that will ever exist, because the promise of free money is unironically too tempting, and the devs always snatch the funds and run, leaving the idealists with nothing but broken dreams. It's a fool's dream, and a fool's investment.
>None of that will ever exist, because the promise of free money is unironically too tempting
this is where web3 is different, its not based on Trust assumptions but on Truth which means this would be enforced in a tamperproof decentralized open source smart contract.
but like I said none of that stuff exists yet and its still in the stone age. everything needs to be build first so everything that exists is very centralized and based on trust like in the old world.
If I wanted to leave the console on to earn useless shit I can sell to morons I'd go boot up TF2 and let it idle for hats like people have been doing for over a decade.
>If I wanted to leave the console on to earn
you wont have to, its not really about "mining" or being a validator for that game.

NFT marketplaces for web3 vidya as envisioned by the 'true believers' making decentralized ones would function basically identically to the steam marketplace with more functionality and less restrictions
obvious problems include lack of liquidity to incentivize use, lack of good games to incentivize liquidity and volume, lack of people trying to make good games, etc

>web3 basically gives you self custody over these digital assets and removes the 3rd parties.
The problem is that said digital assets are also reliant on a single centralized entity to be of any use or value whatsoever. All this "trustless" and "self-custodial" shit kinda goes down the drain if the developer decides that your Super Mega Big Dick Sword of Ultra-Looting +20 is now almost worthless for gameplay due to the new expansion bringing in mechanics that completely cuck the playstyle your big ticket item was relying on, or if the developer decides there's not enough money in it and the servers are shutting down at the end of next month. >but muh portability between games
Good luck convincing other developers and publishers that they should humor your now-dead MMO and make your formerly extremely valuable item as valuable in their competing game because "it should be because it just is okay".

You buy a pack of 10 fresh botted 30 accounts and then you rank them up! But with switching in between so you can get the juicy dodges and honor levels
its possible and there is no reason why it wouldnt be, its just that there is still many problems to be figured out as I already said many times.
from a technolgical point of view its all possible and doable we just arent there yet.
>But without middlemen

yes we are in the stone age, the Blockchain technology is still in its infancy as anyone can see and it will take many years, maybe even decades until everything works as I described in the (best case) scenario. it still has many flaws especially when it comes to the laws and rights to the art and stuff like you pointed out, but eventually even these problems will be solved. these are not obstacles that cant be solved.

Play to earn is just real world trading and it's been a staple of online gaming since its inception. Now they just want a piece. Any game with a currency that can be freely traded is play to earn.
>all this sound great >waste energy by keeping your Black personbox on the entire day and daytrade your tokens so you can progress in the game (you) bought! No tokens, no progression!
So it will have 0 games and they are just glorified gifs where you have to funnel money in to. Ofcourse if you funnel enough money into it your digiBlack person slaves will start making slight profits on your digicotton plantation but the game will shutdown before you'd even get close to breaking even on every digiplantation you make. Like those web 3 mining games they made where they ran away with the money. Can't wait for morons to b***h about money gone on Ganker as well.
>waste energy by keeping your Black personbox on the entire day
web3 gaming says nothing about mining and being a miner or validator isnt neccessary to play web3 games. >so you can progress in the game (you) bought!
a web3 game could be free to play or not.
you list things that arent really problems and which could be easily designed differently.
>all that sounds great of course
no, it sounds incredibly gay and stupid
what do you have against self custody, censorship resistence and decentralization?
are you one of these guys who hate owning things? I mean you wouldnt have to actually buy it, in the future you will be able to rent the digital assets (NFTs) and pay interest on them so you can use them in the game, but you could also be on the other side of that trade here and get interest from others who borrowed your NFT.
those are great ideas.
But they won't be designed differently as they will exist like that until an actual paradigm shift happens. Web3 gaming isn't that and is just a new avenue for the greedy to exploit morons and 3rd worldies without a job.

a decentralized oracle network feeds the data in a trustless way into the smart contract so it knows where the package actually is at all stages from factory to delivery.
payment is released once you sign for it and receive it.
if it doesnt arrive payment is not released.
if it arrives and doesnt work you send it back and get the money back out of the contract as soon as its back at the manufacturer.
That's nowhere near true, it's not like web3 gaming has to start from scratch, it can just use all the same devtools used for Android/ARM that this non-existent PoS runs on and that goes double for the ones that already exist. Making a good game requires a sense of game design (which no dev in that scene has shown) or money (which they don't want to spend as they want to make money).
Stop making excuses for "devs" who just want to make a quick buck.
>it's not like web3 gaming has to start from scratch
actually they do have to start from scratch, not only have the developers to master new concepts they also have to figure out how to properly integrate them.
also not all web3 developers are game developers so they have to learn a lot about game development too. >Stop making excuses for "devs" who just want to make a quick buck

There's a problem with that.
How does a smart contract check why it doesn't work? Or do you leave that to a manufacturer, who can always say "lol you damaged it, no refunds"?
>"lol you damaged it, no refunds"?
depends on the damage, they will probably just swap it for a new one if it wasnt your fault. >who can always say "lol you damaged it, no refunds"?
how often can you do that and get away with a shitty product that doesnt work?
it would be in the companies interest to keep you happy because they themselves are backed by a token too and its performance depends on happy customers that come back and their performance is tracked on a blockchain and visible for all their customers.

No states actually. Even with so called "trigger laws" you can get an abortion in everystate. But only before certain dates and with correct medical care. You just cant walk in to planned parent hood and get a do over for being a prostitute now.
From what I heard, Web3 is basically the current internet, but everything is paywalled and controlled by humongous corporations. If you think it's bad now, basically you can't even post a comment on youtube without giving your information to 5 different agencies, and you need to tie your social security and ID to it, and you need up-to-date medical information just to access it.
There's plenty of information.

The Polium One controller will have a TouchID sensor for an added layer of security. Users will be required to use the TouchID when making transactions and after the console is powered on.
The controller will have a wallet button so that users can quickly make trades while in a game
Yes actually
wait hol' hol'up
are you telling me you can change to cool avatars on your profile!? and maybe beat and make achievements in-game then get a nice picture confirmation in your profile like what Steam does? a-and this 2022 technology makes these jpegs very secured because it's decentralized !?!? holy shit what an advancement in gaming industry
Frick every fricking screenshot of their website makes me laugh more. >incoming lawsuit from apple >a fricking crypto wallet button, because why the frick not >the thing literally every fricking controller has >headphone jack >the worst and most useless DS4 feature
If you want some real fun check their discord
It's where they show what games will be released for the console
https://mobile.twitter.com/Polium__/status/1543288377755275264
What's wrong, goy? You don't want an easy access button to immediately spend your money?
"web3" is crypto
"wallet" is your portfolio
wallet button in this sense is analogous to viewing your inventory across all games this does not make the idea less moronic, just internally consistent and moronic
I know it's a tale as old as time but I'm so tired of people trying to nickel and dime me every minute of every day

Founders don't have time for social media, they delegate that to marketing interns. For a lot of these startups it's some marketing graduate who doesn't even get the full picture of the company.
Or you may be right. Maybe the founder of this company really is handling social media communications which is extremely stupid.

This isn't a "company." It's a scam. The twitter is absolutely ran by the guy in his apartment running the scam. There is no "Founder" of anything.
Probably not.
Or maybe they did because they're crypto morons and Nvidia gave them the honest answer that "Yeah, this'll work for mining shitcoin, compute is the thing we actually support on linux"
It gets worse >Polium is building the world’s first multi-chain gaming console. The console will be built by the community. It will be capable of running games that are built on different blockchains. Users will be able to play games that are on ImmutableX, Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, BNB, EOS, Wax, and Harmony without needing to switch networks.
It's worse >The console will be powerful enough to run high-performance games and will be easy to use for a traditional gamer who doesn’t understand Web 3. Not only will this solve a problem but it will also bring mass adoption into the Web 3 space.
I don't think this is intended to get in on crypto under the notion of it still being a hot ticket, but to bait those scrambling investors who entirely missed the boat on peak crypto/NFT and are desperately trying to get a slice of that action just now.
So real question, why do cryptogays still fall for the blockchain games scam?
Like after the Ubisoft NFT frickup it's clear every AAA publisher will stay away as far as possible from crypto, but those morons still believe it's the future of gaming.
Every single p2e crypto game was some mobile rip off game where only people that have over 100k+ in crypto already make any actual money, while the rest is playing those games to make 0.0000001$/hour
Watching GME threads appear and disappear on Ganker as it rose and fell in the early days was absolutely incredible. As soon as it takes a downturn, the ENTIRE thing gets memory holed, and then as soon as there's a minor upswing it reappeared like nothing happened.
>why do cryptogays still fall for the blockchain games scam?
we're all delusional morons, for the last year or so being a delusional moron was way more profitable than being a cynical sideliner. many of us have trouble adapting back to reality once euphoria wears off >Like after the Ubisoft NFT frickup it's clear every AAA publisher will stay away as far as possible from crypto
Ubisoft made a private chain that had none of the things that the small minority of people who are interested in blockchain games care about. it's like opening a pizza hut in italy. >Every single p2e crypto game was some mobile rip off game where only people that have over 100k+ in crypto already make any actual money
not sure what you were playing but the "real money" always came from being early and understanding the tokenomics better than other people
e.g. dude who turned 1k into 1mil with DefiKingdoms, people selling crabs in crabada, loaning out axies in axie infinity, etc
>for the last year or so being a delusional moron was way more profitable than being a cynical sideliner
The BSC gold rush was fricking incredible. Scams, pump-and-dump scams and malicious hacks actually made me fairly significant amounts of money just because I had the right timing.
AVAX season was fun >intentionally buy new scam pairs instantly and sell them 45 seconds later before liquidity gets yoinked >daytrading OHM forks before/after rebases and dumping everything before they death spiral
still haven't used BSC
[...]
And the classic exit strategy for every crypto MLM scam is a well orchestrated "we got hacked!".
the funny part of that is the hacker took a large portion of that 620 million and shorted SLP on max leverage (because of course the token price will plummet once people realize it's been hacked, right?) and then got liquidated because nobody realized it had been hacked for days
Nowadays BSC is mostly just pajeets desperately wishing for another Safemoon, but man was it funny while it lasted. >TikTok celeb makes a reflection token and advertises it to high hell, citing huge future plans and everyone will be rich yadda yadda >the fricking microsecond it launches, a bot scoops up the majority of the available supply >said bot keeps aggressively dumping the tokens it bought for 3 cents, every time the price tries to climb above $3 it dumps the hell out of the token to suppress the price and making an assload of money in the process >the bot skates away with tens of millions of dollars in pure profit while the e-celeb's fanbase is left disillusioned, demoralized and full of hatred towards the famous butthole who just scammed them out of their savings
God I hate animal lovers. Some animals are fine but anyone who feels sorry for the useless dreg of nature that is the cow, pig or god forbid chicken should just be slaughtered right next to them.
>download metaverses
isn't the metaverse supposed to be the next evolution of the internet or something, console can't be that bad if it allows me to download multiple internets on it.
They probably won't do anything because like most crypto projects, this is just a rug pull scam and they'll vanish before anyone can take legal action against them.
Basically, which is really arrogant since it's a bunch of noname faceless scammers coining the term. Web2 actually had merit. Web3 is just a pyramid scheme
Pretty much yeah.
It's also like Google and facebook ENTIRELY supplanting DNS so they can scrape money off of that and make it a pain in the ass to actually access shit still on the internet more than they do with impression choking and indexing tomfrickery
Semantic Web, often called Web 3.0
Web3 (also confusingly sometimes referred to as Web 3.0) is a general idea for a decentralized Internet based on public blockchains
Web3 Foundation, founded by Gavin Wood, an English computer scientist and co-founder of Ethereum
I just did a quick search to look up web 3 and it's not even a thing yet. It's just a mishmash of crypto buzz words mushed together and inflated with dreams and happy thoughts.
Honestly, my hope and optimism was restored when I learned that after a year of selling NFTs, Ubisoft has made a grand total of about $2,400
Like, it was a rare moment of consensus where the entire fricking world agreed to reject this shit and nobody was enough of a moron to actually throw their chips in. How often do you see humanity just "get it right" like that?

This is the first time I've ever heard of Axie Infinity. After three seconds on Google:
>As of September 2021, most Axie Infinity players are from the Philippines. They act as low-wage workers for "bosses" who rent out Axies to them so they can grind in the game on the bosses' behalf. This arrangement has been called "digital colonialism". >Axie Infinity is built on the Ronin Network, an Ethereum-linked sidechain developed by Sky Mavis. The game's associated token, SLP, crashed in February 2022 amid a wider NFT and cryptocurrency crash, losing over 99% of its peak value. In March 2022, hackers compromised the Ronin Network, stealing approximately US$620 million worth of cryptocurrency from the project
that guy that was talking with zizek said something about a technocracy or something and I didn't think much about it at the time, but now with this I aint too sure anymore.
Basically let's say there is an rpg, but the loot is not random, it's all "real" and accounted for on a blockchain. I get the rare Thunder Sword, now I own it, and there is technology proving it. From now on, every player that wants a Thunder Sword has to come to me, and maybe I can lend it to them, or sell duplicates, but ONLY I can do that.
Well, it's cool, for one thing. It definitely would be cool for sim games and possibly role playing. EVE online has already been doing this for years, and people LOVE reading stories about EVE.

Except we're already capable of doing this. This only adds more ways to exploit monetization so there's more incentive for devs to even add tons of unique items to begin with. If anything the CSGO float system is a much easier way of tracking unique items if they made it so all the numbers functioned more like IDs and not just a grading scale for wear and tear. But even so with third party sites you can see all the unique items and owners of said items check their inventories. Of course you'll have dupes of float values but you'll be able to track when those items were obtained. Although realistically dates don't matter as how many are available and their rarity directly influences the price. The only checks and balances something like this adds is making sure nobody outright duplicates an item into the system. However, something like that is incredibly unnecessary with the amount of processing power needed to continuously check blockchains in the first place.

Do these "people" not fricking know what a damn VIDEO GAME is supposed to be? This sounds boring as shit who in their right mind wants to work a full shift of work and come home to this bullshit?
jokes aside the DS4 is shit.
Horrible to hold, Sony still sticking to parallel sticks just to not copy Microsoft, breaks easy, shit battery and unsatisfying triggers
I almost have to admire just how massively fricking disrespectful these homosexuals are of cryptoBlack folk'/prospective investors' collective intelligence.
Even their logo is lifted wholesale. They are not "building" jack shit. I've seen this so many times in crypto. It's why I am no longer in crypto. 100% scams, all the time. Only bitcoin is legit.
>no more visiting multiple sites
Wow they truly showed me how necessary their scam is, not having to visit multiple sites anymore finally.
Also btw I'm not into crypto at all, but aren't there already wallets that support multiple crypto currencys at once already without needing another dust collector box?
Ther eis no use case, or real audience for something like this. What it hopes to do, and will no doubt successfully do, is con a bunch of people who WANT this to be a thing, but their hopes are just being taken advantage of.
>no more multiple wallets or visiting multiple sites just to play a game
ah yes, the "solution to a problem that doesn't exist" typical for infomercials and with the same kind of wording as well.
The ouya actually has merit compared to this garbage. The ouya was just yet another android ARM box that there are thousands of. Yet the ouya actually does what it says and doesn't hide behind all of this business speak. The difference is the ouya was nothing special when lots of others did the same thing at the same cost or even cheaper, but at least they weren't being buttholes using crypto as the baseline.
The only website I used for games was coolmathgames.com. Also Why do they keep repeating shit about Web3 games, I thought Web3 was the idea that you could run hardware accelerated stuff through a web browser like Unity games.
You are partly right, but whatever previous notion you had of what Web 3.0 was, has been superseded by the Web3 term coined by crypto creators strong-arming their Web 3.0 terminology instead into the zeitgeist.
Not only a scam, but one that's targeting non-gamers (while in a gaming space) AND potentially pumping additional life into NFTs and crypto just when they're on the ropes.
Because if this stupid fricking thing. By some miracle comes out and actually succeeds in some shape or form than it's fricking another bullshit thing we have to deal with. So frick this scam get it canned

Imagine getting tens, hundreds of millions from VCs to just frick around doing whatever software or hardware engineering you want, as long as there's some arbitrary blockchain (really, ethereum) hook.
Unfortunately this is the future of vidya.
It will just take a generation of post zoomer kids that play it from the cradle and ask you >old man why you play those old games were you dont earn money

How many failed video game franchises and consoles are there? You sound like the idiots who said video games were dead during tje crash. Cope and seethe vtard
I feel like people constantly underestimate exactly how much money it takes to make a console that isn't pure fricking crap. Also, why the fricking hell are there people out there who continue to thinking that people are willing to buy a console just to play shit-ass-fricking mobile games?? What universe does these people live in??
Symbol is almost like Gamecube and that controller is practically the PS4 controller just with Nintendo button placements. This thing is fricking garbage.
"Web3 gaming" is really fricking funny because of how easily you can spot these scams from like ten miles away, yet the absolute myopic idiots fall for this shit every single time guaranteed because they read "blockchain" and "pay-to-earn" and "NFT" and immediately lose all control of their mental faculties because those words have appeared next to huge profits in the past.
This is a different scheme, it's "play to earn" where the game has some contrived blockchain integration and you get drip fed monopoly tokens and maybe NFTs if you're lucky during play. More often than not, these games range from really shitty asset flips to outright non-existent scam fronts and their entire purpose is pre-selling the shitty useless monopoly money "governance tokens" and NFTs for actual valuable crypto so the inner circle can bail with millions of dollars extracted from morons while the dumbass pajeets who signed up for community leadership positions are left dealing with the angry hordes.
Yep, it's just a more advanced form of the initial coin offering scams from 2017. Instead of just hot air and promises, there are cool 3D renders and animations alongside concept art to back up those words.

henlo Ganker yes, its Ganker here
generally speaking the idea behind "web3 gaming" is "play to earn".
you play a game and you get tokens, these tokens can be used in the game to upgrade stuff or do whatever, these tokens can be traded on decentralized exchanges and exchanged into any other crypto or fiat stablecoins. (your keys your moneys, censorship resistant) so the tokens you earn could pump and increase in price and make you rich.
there is the NFTs too, these non fungible tokens represent an item or a character from a game or anything and can also be fully owned and traded on decentralized markets.
now if done right this could be a very liberating experience, a world where things are fair and exchanges are happen without a custodian, middleman or any 3rd party.
you play a videogame and other morons buying stuff in the game makes you rich IRL and you were early so your game earns you big bucks per month while you play videogames! a comfy pyramid with you at the top! if you just invest into the right project that is but you never know because how many shitty games exist? its unlikely but just the initial hype can be very profitable.
all that sounds great of course but we are still in the experimental stage and the technology isnt really there yet so if you take part in this you will have to endure a lot of risks that can cost you whatever you were willing to invest.
wheres the game Black person
which one? there are hundreds of games and they are all somewhat shitty.
personally I have never encountered a Blockchain game that was actually fun to play or had good tokenomics and I seen, played and researched many of them. I wouldnt rule out that someone someday gets all things right.
>a comfy pyramid with you at the top!
freudian slip
thats exactly what I wanted to say tho.
>mfw I never fell for the nft or crypto cringe meme
Feels absolutely smashing
>I didnt make any profit and missed out on many 100x shitcoins
nothing shameful about that, not everyone is made for these markets and not everyone has the ability to do their own research and figure out what has merit and what doesnt.
I didn't either but I wish I was one of the people who got insanely filthy rich from bitcoin.
maybe too late for BTC but web3 and the DeFi space are still very active, many potential 100x or even 1000x are still out there. we are still very early.
>maybe too late for BTC but web3 and the DeFi space are still very active, many potential 100x or even 1000x are still out there. we are still very early.
whats your problem with this?
its all true. the crypto market isnt standing still and developments are made.
Play to earn is just real world trading and it's been a staple of online gaming since its inception. Now they just want a piece. Any game with a currency that can be freely traded is play to earn.
>Any game with a currency that can be freely traded
web3 basically gives you self custody over these digital assets and removes the 3rd parties.
They need more people playing their game of hot potato, since if they run out of suckers to pass the hot potato onto, it will burn their own hands.
Blockchain goes far beyond just price speculation.
>web3 basically gives you self custody over these digital assets and removes the 3rd parties.
The problem is that said digital assets are also reliant on a single centralized entity to be of any use or value whatsoever. All this "trustless" and "self-custodial" shit kinda goes down the drain if the developer decides that your Super Mega Big Dick Sword of Ultra-Looting +20 is now almost worthless for gameplay due to the new expansion bringing in mechanics that completely cuck the playstyle your big ticket item was relying on, or if the developer decides there's not enough money in it and the servers are shutting down at the end of next month. >but muh portability between games
Good luck convincing other developers and publishers that they should humor your now-dead MMO and make your formerly extremely valuable item as valuable in their competing game because "it should be because it just is okay".
>if the developer decides
what if the developer works for the DAO and the token holders make the decisions by voting or by having a high score in the game? the governance doesnt have to be in the hands of 1 guy. >or if the developer decides there's not enough money in it and the servers are shutting down at the end of next month.
there is no single server that can be simply turned off (assuming its fully decentralized).
you are right of course that these problems exist and could happen like that even in web3 but its basically non issues because solutions to these problems exist too.
>tfw fell for the crypto memes by accident
Early last year I found out I had $2k in free crypto stashed in my ancient backups from years ago and I figured I might as well play the market since it was really blowing up. Dear god did I pick an interesting time to experience crypto, the absolute wild west casino that is BSC was just picking up steam and you could legitimately make tens of thousands of dollars from outright explicitly self-admitted scams if you were just fast enough to outrun the original scammers.
I escaped with $50k in genuine fiat and bought myself a new car, but man I don't miss the charts hypnotizing me to stay up late into the night because you just might miss that one giga pump and dump moment in that shitty meme dog coin you just dropped $1000 into.
People invested in crypto and web 3 shit give off exactly the same vibe as all those desperate poor people who got involved with cults and MLM schemes. If nfts were physical it would be exactly the same as that sad sack with a spare room full of knock-off Chinese makeup products he got tricked into buying and now has to indoctrinate someone else to get rid of it.
Ouya was a genuine attempt at making an actual gaming product beset by overenthusiasm, overconfidence and incompetence. This is a blatant attempt at an investor scam with a gaming theme on it, made for cryptids by cryptids.
My brother keep shiling it to me but god, the web 3 sound like a damn scam to me.

all that sounds great of course but we are still in the experimental stage and the technology isnt really there yet so if you take part in this you will have to endure a lot of risks that can cost you whatever you were willing to invest.
But it sounds so unfounded right now
It's not like the games are massively popular games or even good
of course bro, the games are shitty and all but eventually someone will get it right and if you get into that early you can make a fortune and actually own the stuff.
personally I have never seen an actual fun Blockchain game and I played and seen many of them on all kinds of different platforms. they are still in the really early stone age of gaming but also in the stone ago of economy.
its more of a gambling thing for now and forseeable future.
getting rich and fleecing some other mouthbreather is of course nice too but the actual core thing is that you have a stake and ownership in the game.
imagine you could own a share of GTA V or Eve Online and own the items in the game world, imagine you could trade them and lend out your virtual car or whatever to some idiot so he pays you interest on it in ingame tokens or use the car as collateral for an interest free loan in an overcollateralized stablecoin.
there is crazy opportunities here and that is what the "Metaverse" actually is about.
of course none of that exists yet but thats the endgame.
another thing is that the game could fund itself and its development through it and that could give us freedom from centralized publishers. imagine EA wouldnt exist, would be neat but there would be a new danger, the DAO.
EA would be a decentralized octopus and could buy a stake in everything and ruin ALL the web3 games AND dump everything you own to liquidate you for your overleveraged digital assets.
Unironically rope yourself Ganker monkey.
why are you mad at me? I'm just trying to explain what web3 is and the idea and endgame for it.
I never said to buy anything, these posts are not financial advice and more of a warning and educational. so whatever poorgay problems you have, dont blame them on me.
I dunno man I'm just seething in general.
that knowledge will help you avoid scams but know what to look for so maybe when the 1000x opportunity comes you will spot it. godspeed bros.
>None of that will ever exist, because the promise of free money is unironically too tempting
this is where web3 is different, its not based on Trust assumptions but on Truth which means this would be enforced in a tamperproof decentralized open source smart contract.
but like I said none of that stuff exists yet and its still in the stone age. everything needs to be build first so everything that exists is very centralized and based on trust like in the old world.
>If I wanted to leave the console on to earn
you wont have to, its not really about "mining" or being a validator for that game.
although that could exist too but it isnt something essential to the concept.
God every word is you trying to convince these nerds to make you rich. Web3 is a piece of shit and will always be, smart contracts are contrived ways of keeping information which isn't even more secure and is just the peak of code monkeys thinking they can solve everything with programing. Nfts are just another way in which art galleries and auction houses get richer as well as the conmen that convinced everyone that nfts were the best investment for artists when in reality it's not even close and most profitable art just circlejerks the crypto culture and you don't even own shit unless the original artist gives you the commercial rights to the artwork which barely any do, hell, the only popular nft that gives you commercial rights are the bored apes and at that point you are better off buying the cheap ones and reselling them through physical mediums by using the meme factor and recognizability instead of trying to find an even bigger fool to get it off your digital hands. You are not in a stone age or pre-renaissance era, you are just pushing gullible idiots to financial ruin and filling your pockets through them. I've had the displeasure of making my thesis to graduate as a designer about your b***h ass schemes.

>there is crazy opportunities here and that is what the "Metaverse" actually is about.
>of course none of that exists yet but thats the endgame.
None of that will ever exist, because the promise of free money is unironically too tempting, and the devs always snatch the funds and run, leaving the idealists with nothing but broken dreams. It's a fool's dream, and a fool's investment.
>It's not like the games are massively popular
Axie Infinity was pretty big. It became a lot of people's livelihoods.
And it's currently sitting at -99.1%.
34 cents a year ago, less than three-tenths of a single cent today.
That doesn't really mean anything unless someone bought Axie coins to hold and invest in. I think the point is to trade them.
you're missing the point. These games are always blatant scams because the people who create and own them are hoping they become popular to then rugpull and get away with all the money.
>a comfy pyramid with you at the top!
Wow there should be a name for schemes like that.
Mummy scheme
have a lazy edit
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
yes, it's a scam
yes, you are a very smart midwit
yes, you will stay poor

>GET RICH QUICK TOOO THE MOOON
If I wanted to leave the console on to earn useless shit I can sell to morons I'd go boot up TF2 and let it idle for hats like people have been doing for over a decade.
NFT marketplaces for web3 vidya as envisioned by the 'true believers' making decentralized ones would function basically identically to the steam marketplace with more functionality and less restrictions
obvious problems include lack of liquidity to incentivize use, lack of good games to incentivize liquidity and volume, lack of people trying to make good games, etc
ur probably moronic or completely out of the loop if you don't understand that what he said is undoubtedly true

>Good luck convincing other developers and publishers that they should humor your now-dead MMO and make your formerly extremely valuable item as valuable in their competing game because "it should be because it just is okay"
google "vampire attack crypto"
it's really, really easy to do that actually, and typically is done in order to capture existing customers from a target audience via incentivization
>now if done right
>a world where things are fair
It's almost cute, isn't it? If it weren't so cripplingly dark.
I wonder if these Ganker tards listen to themselves sometimes.
I mean, he was just explaining what this section of the internet is doing, not that he was into it or supporting it. What is truly cringe are the crypto discords.
The mere fact that he is implying there is a realistic chance of these ventures turning out well shows that he's shilling the idea. Want more proof, man's literally trying to paint a pyramid scheme as a positive.
Yeah, he probably has a little money in a ton of projects and hopes one will turn out well, but he's not shilling them. He's fine.
He's shilling the concept, which is not fine. Also on that note, thise whole "web3" gaming seems like it's just a rebranding since NFTs and "pay-to-earn" have already been panned by the public.
>now if done right
until that system is figured out fully many mistakes will be made along the way, as with every developing technology. who knows who will succeed tho. as you see in the OP there is lots of trash out there.
>of these ventures turning out well
they could but not all of them will, 99% will fail. like always.
web3 will be more of this but without middlemen
You're delusional for thinking it'll ever be done "right" or "fairly", even over time.
its possible and there is no reason why it wouldnt be, its just that there is still many problems to be figured out as I already said many times.
from a technolgical point of view its all possible and doable we just arent there yet.
>How is that a good thing.
overall less attack surface, no room for abuse and the smart contract will always perform as it was programmed.
basically you would always get rightfully paid while ebay could side with the scammer. trust minimization is a good thing.
>Bitcoin wlll die
possible, no technology really holds forever, software becomes outdated and new technologies are developed.
but the Blockchain and decentralization will still be a thing.
like I said, many things still need to be figured out, many problems need to be solved and along that way there will be many hickups, crashes, scams etc. if you cant handle that stuff you should absolutely stay away from it. its like buying games in early access but 99% of them are rancid dogshit.
>You are not in a stone age or pre-renaissance era
yes we are in the stone age, the Blockchain technology is still in its infancy as anyone can see and it will take many years, maybe even decades until everything works as I described in the (best case) scenario. it still has many flaws especially when it comes to the laws and rights to the art and stuff like you pointed out, but eventually even these problems will be solved. these are not obstacles that cant be solved.
>basically you would always get rightfully paid while ebay could side with the scammer.
This is the most moronic thing you said so far. If you get scammed on ebay, ebay cand side with you, or a scammer.
If you get scammed with a smart contract, it doesn't side with anyone so the scammer wins every time.
getting scammed by a smart contract = "I didn't actually read the contract to see what it does"
and that differs from ebay, how?
>you didn't read the fine print in the description, sux2bu ;^)
is this a serious question or are you shit posting
Actually yes.
Ebay:
1. Buy something
2. You don't get what you bought, or got misled in some way
3. Ask for a refund
4. Theres a chance you might get it
Smart contract:
1. Buy something
2. You don't get what you bought, or got misled in some way
3. Ask for a refund
4. "lol lmao"
>Smart contract:
>1. Buy something
yea
>2. You don't get what you bought,
a smart contract will always deliver what it promises to deliver. That's literally how they work, anon.
>or got misled in some way
This translates to "I didn't make any attempt to verify the contract before granting it permission to execute"
>3. Ask for a refund
lol lmao
>4. "lol lmao"
lol lmao
>But without middlemen
How is that a good thing. The middlemen in my case (ebay, or the account seller website im im contact with) doesnt help you finding possible buyers, but also give you a safety net from scam protection
I'll pass. Selling diamond 4 league accounts already earns you a 200-250 net depending on the state of the account. (Maybee you got a rare skin while doing ranked, some honor levels for clash, good mmr, boosted with save champ that dont look like the account was boosted by a seller)
You buy a pack of 10 fresh botted 30 accounts and then you rank them up! But with switching in between so you can get the juicy dodges and honor levels
>experimental stage
You mean moronland. You fricks just don't understand do you? Only the incredibly stupid would fall for a scam that uses the blockchain to commodify things that don't have any real world use.
Bitcoin wlll die and I hope you rope with it.
wheres the game Black person
>a comfy pyramid with you at the top!
freudian slip
I was hoping it was just some cloud gaming platform, but of course it's about Black personhomosexual tokens.
Play to earn is just real world trading and it's been a staple of online gaming since its inception. Now they just want a piece. Any game with a currency that can be freely traded is play to earn.
I don’t wanna live in this kind of dystopia
but you will, we all will and it brings some advantages too so its not all negative.
thats where this crypto tech tree is going.
>all this sound great
>waste energy by keeping your Black personbox on the entire day and daytrade your tokens so you can progress in the game (you) bought! No tokens, no progression!
So it will have 0 games and they are just glorified gifs where you have to funnel money in to. Ofcourse if you funnel enough money into it your digiBlack person slaves will start making slight profits on your digicotton plantation but the game will shutdown before you'd even get close to breaking even on every digiplantation you make. Like those web 3 mining games they made where they ran away with the money. Can't wait for morons to b***h about money gone on Ganker as well.
>waste energy by keeping your Black personbox on the entire day
web3 gaming says nothing about mining and being a miner or validator isnt neccessary to play web3 games.
>so you can progress in the game (you) bought!
a web3 game could be free to play or not.
you list things that arent really problems and which could be easily designed differently.
what do you have against self custody, censorship resistence and decentralization?
are you one of these guys who hate owning things? I mean you wouldnt have to actually buy it, in the future you will be able to rent the digital assets (NFTs) and pay interest on them so you can use them in the game, but you could also be on the other side of that trade here and get interest from others who borrowed your NFT.
those are great ideas.
But they won't be designed differently as they will exist like that until an actual paradigm shift happens. Web3 gaming isn't that and is just a new avenue for the greedy to exploit morons and 3rd worldies without a job.
>Web3 gaming isn't that
yet.
its still in a very early stage.
It won't be that as it will be something else is what I'm saying dumbdumb. So not a case of yet, it will be superseded by its betters and even those would necessarily be that shift.
>It won't be that
nice crystal ball bro, but it will be even better than what I described previously, thats just the vision but the potential is even greater than that.
>If you get scammed with a smart contract
the point is you dont get scammed at all. maybe ebay wasnt the best example to make here.
basically the contract is open source and anyone can check it since its all on the blockchain, security audits are performed even before launch and the contract will always do what its supposed to do.
>it doesn't side with anyone
it doesnt have to, it would always perform the correct action.
>contract will always do what its supposed to do.
>a smart contract will always deliver what it promises to deliver.
Explain to me how a smart contract will ensure delivery of a graphics card after I bought it with the said contract?
a decentralized oracle network feeds the data in a trustless way into the smart contract so it knows where the package actually is at all stages from factory to delivery.
payment is released once you sign for it and receive it.
if it doesnt arrive payment is not released.
if it arrives and doesnt work you send it back and get the money back out of the contract as soon as its back at the manufacturer.
>it's not like web3 gaming has to start from scratch
actually they do have to start from scratch, not only have the developers to master new concepts they also have to figure out how to properly integrate them.
also not all web3 developers are game developers so they have to learn a lot about game development too.
>Stop making excuses for "devs" who just want to make a quick buck
I'm not making any excuses for anyone, just pointing out where this technology is heading and where it currently stands.
So they don't have to start from scratch, they just have to learn how to shove the monitization in. Good to know you agree with me, but you can just say that normally.
>they just have to learn how to shove the monitization in.
its more than that tho.
Sure, but they don't have to re-invent pong. The gaming industries lessons haven't been wiped from the collective consciousness because the word "web 3 gaming" were uttered.
it just works completely different in many aspects.
also there isnt that many web3 devs to begin with, its a small crowd and even web3 isnt fully explored yet and many concepts are still in the early stages, so like I said many times its lots of experimentation.
>"lol you damaged it, no refunds"?
depends on the damage, they will probably just swap it for a new one if it wasnt your fault.
>who can always say "lol you damaged it, no refunds"?
how often can you do that and get away with a shitty product that doesnt work?
it would be in the companies interest to keep you happy because they themselves are backed by a token too and its performance depends on happy customers that come back and their performance is tracked on a blockchain and visible for all their customers.
>probably
My sides.
>how often can you do that and get away with a shitty product that doesnt work?
I don't know, ask any monopoly you fricking moron.
>it would be in the companies interest to keep you happy because they themselves are backed by a token too and its performance depends on happy customers that come back and their performance is tracked on a blockchain and visible for all their customers.
So stocks. You described stocks. Good job. Except stock exchanges are under laws and your ancap wet dream is not.
>Except stock exchanges are under laws
Smart Contracts are the Law, code is Law.
And who writes the code?
developers of course and it would be all open source and on github, audited multiple times and anyone can check it and if it works as advertised. full transparency.
everything else, like getting wagies to perform certain tasks can be incentivized one way or another.
Ganker isnt a hivemind.
I for example wasnt affected at all with the Luna collapse, for everyone with a brain it was obvious what would happen.
>just let corporations write the law, surely they won't make a massive cartel to frick everybody up 🙂
>oh you see, it's open-source and this massive cartel is going to be very ethical and totally is not going to make their own fork with their "modifications" in it. 🙂
>oh you see, it's ok, because everyone knows how to use github and everyone knows how to analyze code, so when your uncle from Walmart buys stuff he can totally check if he is getting scammed 🙂
I think we're done here, crypto fans continue to be moronic.
>just let corporations write the law
they have to follow the real laws and regulations and this will shape the code.
>oh you see, it's open-source and this massive cartel is going to be very ethical and totally is not going to make their own fork with their "modifications" in it. 🙂
nobody would force you to use the fork, alternatively you could fork it yourself and improve it then steal their marketshare.
>oh you see, it's ok, because everyone knows how to use github and everyone knows how to analyze code, so when your uncle from Walmart buys stuff he can totally check if he is getting scammed 🙂
maybe not your uncle but smarter people certainly can.
just because you cant doesnt mean nobody can.
>they have to follow the real laws and regulations and this will shape the code.
My sides, again.
>Smart Contracts are the Law, code is Law.
>w-well they have to follow the real laws and regulations...
Then what's the fricking point? Your entire narrative of this great decentralized dream falls apart when you include THE FRICKING GOVERNMENT.
You created a glorified gps tracker for packages, that ensures that the package arrived and takes the payment instead of the delivery guy.
>Then what's the fricking point?
the point is you get rid of trust and replace it with truth.
Until you get to the real world, where truth doesn't matter and people can make shit up freely about things that smart contracts can't enforce.
>if it arrives and doesnt work you send it back and get the money back out of the contract as soon as its back at the manufacturer.
There's a problem with that.
How does a smart contract check why it doesn't work? Or do you leave that to a manufacturer, who can always say "lol you damaged it, no refunds"?
>in the future you will be able to rent the digital assets (NFTs) and pay interest on them so you can use them in the game, but you could also be on the other side of that trade here and get interest from others who borrowed your NFT.
>those are great ideas.
Why would any sane person want to turn a game into a job that pays less than the sidewalks I shoveled when I was 8? If you truly believe this is an idea people want, I'll rent you a rope NFT for you to have a nice day with, I won't even charge you interest.
reddit tier bantz
>Why would any sane person want to turn a game into a job
it would earn you passive income and you can play a fun game if you want. if you dont want to play it some other guy might want to so you can lend him your NFT and get paid.
>that pays less than the sidewalks I shoveled when I was 8?
now thats just assumptions, why do you think you wouldnt be able to earn more than that?
kinda depends on many factors so its moronic to make such a general statement.
I won't work on the cyberplantation for you, rabbi.
>I won't work on the cyberplantation for you
but you dont have to, you will be able to let others do the work.
for once you can be on the other side.
>They are worse than those mid 2000s MMO browser games about mafia or space colonisation.
things are still in the super early stages, so b***hing about it now is like b***hing about Pong in the early days of videogames.
eventually some fun games will emerge.
That's nowhere near true, it's not like web3 gaming has to start from scratch, it can just use all the same devtools used for Android/ARM that this non-existent PoS runs on and that goes double for the ones that already exist. Making a good game requires a sense of game design (which no dev in that scene has shown) or money (which they don't want to spend as they want to make money).
Stop making excuses for "devs" who just want to make a quick buck.
>fun game
We already have these games and they're called gachas. They have very minimal traditional gameplay with an important element being what is essentially a slotmachine.
Having seen web 3 games, they have 0 gameplay. They are worse than those mid 2000s MMO browser games about mafia or space colonisation.
>all that sounds great of course
no, it sounds incredibly gay and stupid
lmao been visiting Ganker since the luna crash suicide cult and you homosexuals don't know jack shit about anything money related
>it's just the steam marketplace but 100000000 times more volatile
how amazing
Yeah, no clue either. Maybe a new marketing term like how what's advertised as 4k is actually 2k?
This. They can't call it an Android box so they'll say it's perfect for online and NFTs.

But not on Twitter
No states actually. Even with so called "trigger laws" you can get an abortion in everystate. But only before certain dates and with correct medical care. You just cant walk in to planned parent hood and get a do over for being a prostitute now.
The Ouya 2 dropped? nice
What happens nowadays if you plug one of these in and try to play it? You can't buy games or download demos, so what can you do?
It's an android device, so you could throw some APKs on it, provided they're still supported.
You do some .json wizardry and access a pseudo-Ouya store hosted by fans. Yes, those exist.
you install a custom firmware with the normal play store i imagine
Did Ouya support even last an entire year?
From what I heard, Web3 is basically the current internet, but everything is paywalled and controlled by humongous corporations. If you think it's bad now, basically you can't even post a comment on youtube without giving your information to 5 different agencies, and you need to tie your social security and ID to it, and you need up-to-date medical information just to access it.
In other words, pic related.

Can I buy the console with crypto? and pay the service and games with crypto?
The Polium One controller will have a TouchID sensor for an added layer of security. Users will be required to use the TouchID when making transactions and after the console is powered on.

Or you may be right. Maybe the founder of this company really is handling social media communications which is extremely stupid.
This isn't a "company." It's a scam. The twitter is absolutely ran by the guy in his apartment running the scam. There is no "Founder" of anything.

It's a multi-pronged scam.
So real question, why do cryptogays still fall for the blockchain games scam?
Like after the Ubisoft NFT frickup it's clear every AAA publisher will stay away as far as possible from crypto, but those morons still believe it's the future of gaming.
Every single p2e crypto game was some mobile rip off game where only people that have over 100k+ in crypto already make any actual money, while the rest is playing those games to make 0.0000001$/hour
same reason why people STILL think a mega squeeze of gamestop is happening
these people are legitimately moronic
Watching GME threads appear and disappear on Ganker as it rose and fell in the early days was absolutely incredible. As soon as it takes a downturn, the ENTIRE thing gets memory holed, and then as soon as there's a minor upswing it reappeared like nothing happened.
They don't, they fell for it and want out but the market crashed, now they have to pretend to believe It or they remain bag holders for eternity.
They're the bag holders
>why do cryptogays still fall for the blockchain games scam?
we're all delusional morons, for the last year or so being a delusional moron was way more profitable than being a cynical sideliner. many of us have trouble adapting back to reality once euphoria wears off
>Like after the Ubisoft NFT frickup it's clear every AAA publisher will stay away as far as possible from crypto
Ubisoft made a private chain that had none of the things that the small minority of people who are interested in blockchain games care about. it's like opening a pizza hut in italy.
>Every single p2e crypto game was some mobile rip off game where only people that have over 100k+ in crypto already make any actual money
not sure what you were playing but the "real money" always came from being early and understanding the tokenomics better than other people
e.g. dude who turned 1k into 1mil with DefiKingdoms, people selling crabs in crabada, loaning out axies in axie infinity, etc
accurate
>for the last year or so being a delusional moron was way more profitable than being a cynical sideliner
The BSC gold rush was fricking incredible. Scams, pump-and-dump scams and malicious hacks actually made me fairly significant amounts of money just because I had the right timing.
AVAX season was fun
>intentionally buy new scam pairs instantly and sell them 45 seconds later before liquidity gets yoinked
>daytrading OHM forks before/after rebases and dumping everything before they death spiral
still haven't used BSC
the funny part of that is the hacker took a large portion of that 620 million and shorted SLP on max leverage (because of course the token price will plummet once people realize it's been hacked, right?) and then got liquidated because nobody realized it had been hacked for days
Nowadays BSC is mostly just pajeets desperately wishing for another Safemoon, but man was it funny while it lasted.
>TikTok celeb makes a reflection token and advertises it to high hell, citing huge future plans and everyone will be rich yadda yadda
>the fricking microsecond it launches, a bot scoops up the majority of the available supply
>said bot keeps aggressively dumping the tokens it bought for 3 cents, every time the price tries to climb above $3 it dumps the hell out of the token to suppress the price and making an assload of money in the process
>the bot skates away with tens of millions of dollars in pure profit while the e-celeb's fanbase is left disillusioned, demoralized and full of hatred towards the famous butthole who just scammed them out of their savings
So the console will include a market place to trade crypto
Which is fricking stupid because it should only play games

What does that even mean?
Is web3.0 really just blockchain shit?
Basically, which is really arrogant since it's a bunch of noname faceless scammers coining the term. Web2 actually had merit. Web3 is just a pyramid scheme
Pretty much yeah.
It's also like Google and facebook ENTIRELY supplanting DNS so they can scrape money off of that and make it a pain in the ass to actually access shit still on the internet more than they do with impression choking and indexing tomfrickery
Web 3.0 may refer to:
Semantic Web, often called Web 3.0
Web3 (also confusingly sometimes referred to as Web 3.0) is a general idea for a decentralized Internet based on public blockchains
Web3 Foundation, founded by Gavin Wood, an English computer scientist and co-founder of Ethereum
>Polio One
So if you play it you'll end up with paralysis?
I just did a quick search to look up web 3 and it's not even a thing yet. It's just a mishmash of crypto buzz words mushed together and inflated with dreams and happy thoughts.
Honestly, my hope and optimism was restored when I learned that after a year of selling NFTs, Ubisoft has made a grand total of about $2,400
Like, it was a rare moment of consensus where the entire fricking world agreed to reject this shit and nobody was enough of a moron to actually throw their chips in. How often do you see humanity just "get it right" like that?
>Web 3.0

This is the first time I've ever heard of Axie Infinity. After three seconds on Google:
>As of September 2021, most Axie Infinity players are from the Philippines. They act as low-wage workers for "bosses" who rent out Axies to them so they can grind in the game on the bosses' behalf. This arrangement has been called "digital colonialism".
>Axie Infinity is built on the Ronin Network, an Ethereum-linked sidechain developed by Sky Mavis. The game's associated token, SLP, crashed in February 2022 amid a wider NFT and cryptocurrency crash, losing over 99% of its peak value. In March 2022, hackers compromised the Ronin Network, stealing approximately US$620 million worth of cryptocurrency from the project

that guy that was talking with zizek said something about a technocracy or something and I didn't think much about it at the time, but now with this I aint too sure anymore.
It's a MLM scam
And the classic exit strategy for every crypto MLM scam is a well orchestrated "we got hacked!".
>all of that shit
What
Basically let's say there is an rpg, but the loot is not random, it's all "real" and accounted for on a blockchain. I get the rare Thunder Sword, now I own it, and there is technology proving it. From now on, every player that wants a Thunder Sword has to come to me, and maybe I can lend it to them, or sell duplicates, but ONLY I can do that.
How does this make video games better
refer to
Well, it's cool, for one thing. It definitely would be cool for sim games and possibly role playing. EVE online has already been doing this for years, and people LOVE reading stories about EVE.
Except we're already capable of doing this. This only adds more ways to exploit monetization so there's more incentive for devs to even add tons of unique items to begin with. If anything the CSGO float system is a much easier way of tracking unique items if they made it so all the numbers functioned more like IDs and not just a grading scale for wear and tear. But even so with third party sites you can see all the unique items and owners of said items check their inventories. Of course you'll have dupes of float values but you'll be able to track when those items were obtained. Although realistically dates don't matter as how many are available and their rarity directly influences the price. The only checks and balances something like this adds is making sure nobody outright duplicates an item into the system. However, something like that is incredibly unnecessary with the amount of processing power needed to continuously check blockchains in the first place.

You take that back, the DualShock 4 is the best controller of the past decade.
Never frick you
jokes aside the DS4 is shit.
Horrible to hold, Sony still sticking to parallel sticks just to not copy Microsoft, breaks easy, shit battery and unsatisfying triggers
>parallel sticks just to not copy Microsoft
nta but when has this ever made a difference in games?
it's the most slight difference ever.
Also as a joke. The xbox layout is literally an afterthought.
They just slapped another stick onto the Dreamcast controller.
WHAT THE FRICK IS MULTI CHAIN?
You can put different buttcoins on it
I noticed none of them are known
Apparently here's the games it comes with
lmao it's a console for play to earn crypto games.
AKA time-wasting phone games that give you 10 cents per every 50 hours you spend playing. Kek.
How does that even work? The games mine shitcoins while you play?
Also the console comes out in 2-3 years
They pay you in miniscule amounts of their own coin for advertising to you non-stop, basically.
So basically for 99-500 dollars

It amazes me people are cheering for this garbage
The only cheers are coming from obvious sockpuppets.
Even their logo is lifted wholesale. They are not "building" jack shit. I've seen this so many times in crypto. It's why I am no longer in crypto. 100% scams, all the time. Only bitcoin is legit.
>no more visiting multiple sites
Wow they truly showed me how necessary their scam is, not having to visit multiple sites anymore finally.
Also btw I'm not into crypto at all, but aren't there already wallets that support multiple crypto currencys at once already without needing another dust collector box?
Ther eis no use case, or real audience for something like this. What it hopes to do, and will no doubt successfully do, is con a bunch of people who WANT this to be a thing, but their hopes are just being taken advantage of.
>no more multiple wallets or visiting multiple sites just to play a game
ah yes, the "solution to a problem that doesn't exist" typical for infomercials and with the same kind of wording as well.
The ouya actually has merit compared to this garbage. The ouya was just yet another android ARM box that there are thousands of. Yet the ouya actually does what it says and doesn't hide behind all of this business speak. The difference is the ouya was nothing special when lots of others did the same thing at the same cost or even cheaper, but at least they weren't being buttholes using crypto as the baseline.
The only website I used for games was coolmathgames.com. Also Why do they keep repeating shit about Web3 games, I thought Web3 was the idea that you could run hardware accelerated stuff through a web browser like Unity games.
You are partly right, but whatever previous notion you had of what Web 3.0 was, has been superseded by the Web3 term coined by crypto creators strong-arming their Web 3.0 terminology instead into the zeitgeist.
The thread for that post is hilariously botted with hype posts that all look the same.
sounds like a disease so it's probably nothing good.
Want polio
Is there a way to report their controller to Sony? I'm sure it breaks something.

so instead of watching the disaster that will happen when it's released, you're going to stop that before it happens?
There will be no disaster because it's never going to release

there's tons of these fricking things, are you not aware of that?
Nevermind frick you
Not only a scam, but one that's targeting non-gamers (while in a gaming space) AND potentially pumping additional life into NFTs and crypto just when they're on the ropes.
who cares
Because if this stupid fricking thing. By some miracle comes out and actually succeeds in some shape or form than it's fricking another bullshit thing we have to deal with. So frick this scam get it canned
You've talked me into buying it, just gave them my debit card
You can't even buy it like that, you need to buy a NFT that will act as your pre-order pass lmfao. Get to it, anon. You definitely won't look like an idiot.
What do you mean deal with? How would this affect your life?
Why do YOU care that others care? You didn't invest in this shit, right anon? ...right???

What universe does these people live in??

People still fall for these scams?
"Web3 gaming" is really fricking funny because of how easily you can spot these scams from like ten miles away, yet the absolute myopic idiots fall for this shit every single time guaranteed because they read "blockchain" and "pay-to-earn" and "NFT" and immediately lose all control of their mental faculties because those words have appeared next to huge profits in the past.
I hear "win money by playing games" and all I can think is chinese mmo gold farmers.
>tweet is from 26 Jun
Isn't the nft bubble over? Wtf are there morons doing?
This is a different scheme, it's "play to earn" where the game has some contrived blockchain integration and you get drip fed monopoly tokens and maybe NFTs if you're lucky during play. More often than not, these games range from really shitty asset flips to outright non-existent scam fronts and their entire purpose is pre-selling the shitty useless monopoly money "governance tokens" and NFTs for actual valuable crypto so the inner circle can bail with millions of dollars extracted from morons while the dumbass pajeets who signed up for community leadership positions are left dealing with the angry hordes.
So it's like a regular crypto scam but with extra steps.
Yep, it's just a more advanced form of the initial coin offering scams from 2017. Instead of just hot air and promises, there are cool 3D renders and animations alongside concept art to back up those words.

which one? there are hundreds of games and they are all somewhat shitty.
personally I have never encountered a Blockchain game that was actually fun to play or had good tokenomics and I seen, played and researched many of them. I wouldnt rule out that someone someday gets all things right.
thats exactly what I wanted to say tho.
>I didnt make any profit and missed out on many 100x shitcoins
nothing shameful about that, not everyone is made for these markets and not everyone has the ability to do their own research and figure out what has merit and what doesnt.
maybe too late for BTC but web3 and the DeFi space are still very active, many potential 100x or even 1000x are still out there. we are still very early.
>maybe too late for BTC but web3 and the DeFi space are still very active, many potential 100x or even 1000x are still out there. we are still very early.
They need more people playing their game of hot potato, since if they run out of suckers to pass the hot potato onto, it will burn their own hands.
whats your problem with this?
its all true. the crypto market isnt standing still and developments are made.
>Any game with a currency that can be freely traded
web3 basically gives you self custody over these digital assets and removes the 3rd parties.
Blockchain goes far beyond just price speculation.
>Blockchain goes far beyond just price speculation.
Not anymore it doesn't.
>web3 basically gives you self custody over these digital assets and removes the 3rd parties.
The problem is that said digital assets are also reliant on a single centralized entity to be of any use or value whatsoever. All this "trustless" and "self-custodial" shit kinda goes down the drain if the developer decides that your Super Mega Big Dick Sword of Ultra-Looting +20 is now almost worthless for gameplay due to the new expansion bringing in mechanics that completely cuck the playstyle your big ticket item was relying on, or if the developer decides there's not enough money in it and the servers are shutting down at the end of next month.
>but muh portability between games
Good luck convincing other developers and publishers that they should humor your now-dead MMO and make your formerly extremely valuable item as valuable in their competing game because "it should be because it just is okay".
>if the developer decides
what if the developer works for the DAO and the token holders make the decisions by voting or by having a high score in the game? the governance doesnt have to be in the hands of 1 guy.
>or if the developer decides there's not enough money in it and the servers are shutting down at the end of next month.
there is no single server that can be simply turned off (assuming its fully decentralized).
you are right of course that these problems exist and could happen like that even in web3 but its basically non issues because solutions to these problems exist too.
>nft console
I wonder how many of those se asian american teenagers that are into black culture are getting this?
>mfw I never fell for the nft or crypto cringe meme
Feels absolutely smashing
I didn't either but I wish I was one of the people who got insanely filthy rich from bitcoin.
had to have hit it early
>tfw fell for the crypto memes by accident
Early last year I found out I had $2k in free crypto stashed in my ancient backups from years ago and I figured I might as well play the market since it was really blowing up. Dear god did I pick an interesting time to experience crypto, the absolute wild west casino that is BSC was just picking up steam and you could legitimately make tens of thousands of dollars from outright explicitly self-admitted scams if you were just fast enough to outrun the original scammers.
I escaped with $50k in genuine fiat and bought myself a new car, but man I don't miss the charts hypnotizing me to stay up late into the night because you just might miss that one giga pump and dump moment in that shitty meme dog coin you just dropped $1000 into.
People invested in crypto and web 3 shit give off exactly the same vibe as all those desperate poor people who got involved with cults and MLM schemes. If nfts were physical it would be exactly the same as that sad sack with a spare room full of knock-off Chinese makeup products he got tricked into buying and now has to indoctrinate someone else to get rid of it.
