Creation of artificial scarcity. It's a damn scam. The blockchain on the other hand can be useful if for example it is used to record ownership of a physical product or a contract that you sign with a business. But NFTs are inherently a scam that serve no purpose.

(The bit about the game not being canon isn't from the website. They just have that header that says "the lore" to mark where their fiction dump starts.)
What I find wild about this is that isn't Troy on a popular games podcast with Alanah Pearce, Austin Wintory and Mike Bithell? Have NFTs never come up or something because it's wild that he wouldn't get some advise on this from those people at least.

They do not do anything to prevent art theft. They do not have cross compatibility between exchanges, and based off all current roadmaps from the big players, there's no indication they ever will. They are wholly misrepresented to people making purchases of them since it is never made clear they are not actually buying the original asset, just a receipt to a URL to an instance of the hosted asset (with no guarantees the asset will remain hosted.)
big "source needed" energy.
Why does this read like the sales pitch for a cult? You could tell me this was taken from the Scientology website and I'd believe you.
The Voiceverse NFT website said:The Lore
On Ethyear 0, the Sun, which has supported and nurtured life on Earth for millennia, imploded and scorched the entirety of Milky Way with its fiery touches. Luckily, we had built colonies in other galaxies before our homeland was burnt to crisp.
Eons passed, and homo survivalis, or "Terrans", as we had come to be known, had lost the ability to not only speak, but produce any form of nonverbal noise from our windpipe. Laughter was gone in our lives. We had to guess how frustrated or sad someone was from their facial expression only. This was all due to the fact that we had become overly reliant on vision, consuming only images, gifs, and texts.
Then on Ethyear 8,888 a group of 100 ethereal beings by the name of Alpha Centum, or "Centums", started appearing in various places.
They were omnipotent cosmic energies, spiritual beings that flowed from one galaxy to another beyond temporal or spatial limitations. They each possessed one authentic voice that demanded such respect and awe, as the world had long forgotten what "a real voice" was.
The Centums summoned 1,000 Cosmic Architects, or "Architects", to obey their beckonings: they were charged with creating new, and revitalizing old, planets, and to manage which Terrans were deserving of a voice of their own.
In return, Architects were awarded voices generated from mixing two pure Centum voices, while Terrans were given voices that were bred randomly from a multitude of voices. No one knew why Centums were here - but everyone knew that this was our only chance at recovering what made us, and our ancestors, truly human.

They did an episode on it pretty recently, but it just so happens that Troy wasn't on that week.
it's literally selling you a star/planet scam all over again, but this time comes with the bonus fact of destroying the planet in the meantime.NFTs are here to stay, it needs regulating, and improving... NFTs are not inherently bad, it's how it's used that should be under scrutiny.
she replied in the comments
"Hello, new commenters. I want to note that we did not pick the topic of this episode before recording (which should be pretty clear if you see how it comes up). Troy had no way of knowing we'd talk about NFTs when he skipped this week. Bless anyone who thought this show was that organized, lol."
She compared it to microtransactions in her podcast. I honestly stopped watching it at that point since I couldn't bare to listen more to it. Maybe she is against them, but it seemed to me very deceptive to say that NFTs are basically microtransactions or DLC.

Y'all can look through my post history for NFT posts, cannot be bothered to repeat the same arguments for the umpteenth time, while getting roasted by several angry posters. So many quote alerts 🤣I sure see you in every NFT thread saying the same thing, but never why NFTs are good and what kind of unique benefit that can't be replicated any other way but using them they bring
Nah... You can have limited, or infinite items as an NFT.
Yeah definitely. Just didn't want to see her argue in favor of them or say that it's not a big deal so at that point I stopped listening. Glad to hear from others that listened to it all say that she's against them.
Jesus this is all so pathetic. All this just to scam people out of money

NFTs are and have always been inherently bad because administering them and creating them has never had any value outside of a destructive wealth scheme.

Why talk when you can pay out of your ass to get someone famous to do it for you through a machine?Why can't I just fucking talk in the metaverse.
Also that 'lore' sounds like something from Channel 5 News.
I prefer to create something constructive and beneficial for people.
Bolded is the standard go-to counter that right wing politicians use whenever something inevitably goes wrong.
Things never work out the "intended" way. People are ultimately predatory beings that maximize short-term gains without accounting for long-term sustainability or the human suffering they cause. We have become exceptionally good at taking advantage of the human psyche and they are doing it for their own benefit.
They hand-wave arguments by saying "we are merely giving people what they want" and even when there's science to back up claims they say "not enough evidence to prove the suggested correlation"
We need strict control and regulation to eliminate products from the market that have a negative impact on people's lives. I shouldn't have to worry about things like whether baby food on shelves in grocery stores are of such questionable quality that we shouldn't even give them to our dogs. We can use science now to dictate what should or shouldn't exist on the market.
Merely "educating people" and hoping they do the right thing will lead us to extinction.

"NFTs destroy the environment"
Nah... There are proof of stake alternatives to Ethereum.
"It's a ponzi"
How? In fact don't bother....
They are not inherently bad, that at least, is factual. Trying to dispute that just shows how pointless the arguement gets in here.

I hate this because it's literally not true. Like you actually have no idea what you're talking about. What "good" uses of nfts can there possibly be when their application is used to create "digital scarcity"- and badly, at that?NFTs are here to stay, it needs regulating, and improving...
