We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
"gamers really believe it's first destroying the planet, and second just a tool for speculation."
Well done gamers for knowing what a casino scam this is and the damage. 👏🏾

But you can see why their eyes are lighting up imaging a future where something gets sold on and on and on and every time they get paid for doing eff all.
Well they had great plans for the reselling of digital content on their terms and via their approved middlemen, and the public wasn't shy in telling them exactly what they thought of that idea considering what it involved, so unsurprising now that they're all-in on a future where they're happy you never actually own anything to begin with. So it's all pretty reassuring at least on the NFT front as it makes very little sense in their ecosystem away from the perpetual 1st party content - and they already have a pretty clear stance when it comes to 1P and NFT and it looks like a middle finger, which is nice.
I like how he brings up 2 major negatives and then attempts a Jedi mind trick and moves right past that.

Has he even bothered to talk to the engineers he's asking to implement all this? It's only ever CEOs and the like onboard with this and they never stop to think why that is.
It's like whenever some group proposes digital voting and only ever seem to ask the security experts who would need to implement it last, who would all say why it's such a horrible idea.

Imagine if you had an NFT sales pitch. It's not unique, but with a little spin, we could make it unique. Now imagine you throw it out to gamers. There are a potential 7bn gamers, and if they each buy an nft, you could make hundreds of billions of dollars. Now imagine that the majority of people don't buy into your scheme. Imagine your boss firing you because you hinged your career on a gamble that didn't work out. Imagine.
I like how he casually touches upon the block chain destroying our planet but then move on to advocate for it like it's nothing.
if it weren't so sad it would be comical.

On the one hand, the planet will becomes less hospitable. On the other, you'll be part of the elite of cryptobros and suckers that try to sell random numbers to another fallout shelter.
Everyone who is part of the scheme, every single one, keeps saying how people just don't get it, or start their sentences with "imagine a world where [most basic easily disproven nonsense]". They can't engage with the actual counter arguments because they know they need to keep up the hype for it to work.
Can't repost this enough:
Let me explain Blockchain gaming and Play-to-Earn.
NFTs are a pure scam. Blockchain gaming is a pyramid scheme. Play-to-Earn is not only a scam, it's deeply immoral.EDIT: I have answered a BUNCH of the commen...www.youtube.com
We need a bit that whenever NFTs come up just post this and Line goes Up. I muhst gonna do that now. 😉
Now imagine that these chuckle fucks are sprinkling thoughts of NFT returns into the board rooms of Silicon Valley VC funds who have been investing in games and want their ROI
I'm half convinced that stalker 2's NFTs was done as some form of VC appeasement
What a load of crap. They literally don't know what the fuck they want, only that they need more shameless revenue
He put up a follow-up to answer a lot of the people "just asking questions" with all the usual, tired bullshit but but buts..Can't repost this enough:

Ubisoft gonna Ubisoft I guess. The conversation around NFTs is a really interesting one. I mean - it's very clearly a made-up load of old bollocks akin to a ponzi scheme - and yet here we are, with people like Jimmy Fallon normalising their existence to anyone who will listen. You may as well set fire to your money.
it is also something they will never explore but it would actually cut into the revenue stream not increase it. That is why he is dodging it.
This is what immediately came to mind as I read the thread title.
Never irrelevant unfortunately
Ubisoft actually does a lot of innovative research in machine learning that is honestly pretty amazing.
But, uh, they also do trend-chasing shit like this, lol.
100%. No-one gives a shit about reselling dogshit horse armour dlc, we want to be able to re-sell our digital purchases. That's the only benefit I care about.
I totally believe, that you only want the best for your customers, sorry players, giving them an option to make money with your games, when they stop playing it. It's totally not about getting more money for the company itself, more GaaS, more long term returns, more money out of more players, etc. Look I get it, it's getting more and more expensive to develop games and making more money is always the number one goal, etc. I don't hate companies for trying stuff...but we have so many broken systems out there, especially in the mobile space.
Trying to tell players/customers that they are too stupid to grasp this new concept/understand it, is one way....but none I like sorry ;) Sad thing is actually, that some of my former colleagues are already working on NFT games and some of them are doing pretty well already. On the other hand, not really a surprise, because they worked mostly on browser and mobile f2p titles, so NFT is just another step for them/these companies or an additional factor to getting more money out of it. Sadly? Luckily? I'm stuck in my old ways and I always want to work on something that I believe in/like and can stand behind, even if it means I sometimes have to life with less salary or looking a bit longer for a new job at times.

Good to know it's not just about destroying the planet for them. It's also about the endgame of making money from player transactions by withholding digital content from the games. That endgame presumably takes place when the planet has been destroyed
"For now, because of the current situation and context of NFTs, gamers really believe it's first destroying the planet, and second just a tool for speculation. But what we [at Ubisoft] are seeing first is the end game. "
Haha what an absolute joke. Can't address the legitimate concerns about the unnecessary carbon footprint of blockchain technology for what little it actually offers so they resort to "muh endgame". NFT enthusiasts are all the same. Can only provide buzzwords and empty promises.
I'm glad these things are universally hated and any corporation or celebrity trying to endorse these for a gross and harmful profit are getting shit on by the public.

The more I think on this the more clear it becomes that this is an abject failure in business communication. We are your clients, and yet you lambast us for not accepting your disgusting new money making scheme… incredible. I'd be out of a job if I talked about (or even thought about!) my clients like this. It shows their incentives are so out of whack. I hope these projects continue to crash and burn.
