As Crypto once again spirals into a mainstream spotlight, and speculators run wild... we are starting to hear similar claims being echoed when compared to a few years ago, where Crypto and Blockchain are somehow revolutions for gaming, and the future of the industry.

They aren't. They are a joke, with no actual purpose beyond facilitation of scams, and low quality garbage products that are now infesting the Epic Games store despite "quality standards" being allegedly imposed.

I've abandoned all my favourite IPs. And games. And soon platforms.

"Innovation" has been so anti-consumer for so long that I now view any word associated with it as a red flag.

Steam banning NFTs dealt massive damage to their momentum lmao

Praise be onto Gaben, our lord and savior

The cryptobros have barely any influence on games anymore. The crown for boogeyman of gaming has passed on to AI. A couple clearly bought-out articles aren't going to change that.

I miss the times when the idea behind games was:
1) make a game people will want to play
2) profit
Instead of
1) make a get rich quick scheme / storefront
2) attach a mediocre at best game as an interface
3) hope idiots will fall for it

The future of gaming feels pretty bleak across the board. It now takes 7+ years to develop a AAA game. It’s now an industry standard to release an incomplete and buggy game. Game publishers want to hike up the price or sell you a live service product. And let’s not forget the icing on the cake, your digital games can be removed or taken down never to be played again. Am I missing anything?

The same crypto bros who slid into our dm's to warn us that "this is our last chance to learn from their expertise for free!" have moved on to Ai. It's just the latest snake-oil con.

I'm so happy they can't touch my physical media. Makes me really happy I have it. GOTHIC 3 IS LIT!!!!

It's so bright I'm gonna need to wear some DLC sunglasses 😎

This man out here suffering this garbage just to make a great point. Again, thank you UE for going the extra mile.

[derula]

They typo'd, they meant they will have _quantity_ standards.

[NerdNinja]

As a Bitcoiner I completely agree with you. Shit makes no damn sense for anything other than to grift people on hype. The product is greed and a crappy game is just a pretext for the scam.

At this point, my backlog is full of so many games (about 30 years worth), that Im fine with only a couple quality releases per year. I gave up caring years ago, about the state of modern gaming. Let's just watch it burn.

Its so goddamn ironic that Tim Sweeney claimed to be fighting for indie developers and acting like he was a force for good in the gaming industry while painting Valve as tyrants and dictators but every single action from Epic has been the polar opposite of what Tim claims. Valve could have made a killing off of blockchain games but they choose the consumer first, Valve could make exclusivity deals with publishers to further iron their grip in the gaming landscape but they don't. It is all just so funny to me when I think about it.

[Mrcharrio]

I refuse their trap and just play my older games, many of which I have never gotten farther than the intro and then got distracted.
They will not see a dime from me for any of these modern games and systems, maybe when things change if they do but right now I can keep my money.

[joshuaDstarks]

I hear games are gonna have tip jars soon enough.

I’d like off this ride now.

[buckrodgers]

The most insecure platform, hosts the NFT games, that are complete crap, while saying "they don't host crap games".
Anyone else see the irony in this?

[maslue]

That last one looks an awful lot like a re-skin of the "Lyra" multi-player template in Unreal Engine 5

I would be very worried about downloading any of those. I feel like with their mentality, they would put malicious code on my PC. No one wants blockchain games other than greedy companies who are building those.
