  • I would say it’s worse than that. Like knowing that you are selling exp boosters changes the calculus on how exp is earned. If the game played smoothly, there would be no need to sell the boosters and creating the eco system to support it would have been wasted. A system where certain items are nft based would push for these items to be better then the non nft items both for expectation of value, and to raise the trade value to siphon from. This already happens with games with dlc cosmetics. The gear in the games looks increasingly shit compared to the DLC. And that is a natural consequence of polluting the game space.


  • But why honor other companies tokens? Hell why honor your old tokens? You make the effort to create assets in your new game, are you going to just give it to a limited number of players who play both game for free, or resell it to all players? If you buy an nft for a game that then gets ignored, was it any different then a DLC, or using the steam market place to trade the item? After all i have read i don’t see where this helps players at all, and for companies, the only benefit i can see is if they pump and dump their players.








  • Well…

    MWO (Mechwarrior Online) is still adept at bilking me for more money with the false promises of buying power… though Catapult with MASK go brrrr 153kph.

    One of my friends beged me off and on for the last year to give fallout 76 another try. Now he stopped playing after the first day but i am giving it a go. Feels a lot less dead.

    And my other friend is playing Wayfinder. A used to be MMO turned action diablo like. It got literally every type of character progression you can imagine, someone probably should have tackled the designer once they started to add the POE/FF10 skill web. Its fun, playing it on the hardest mode and bosses take a solid hour of devil may cry’ing

    My other friends are trying to get me into FF14 again. But man did i lose a lot of will to play that at the ‘the developer watched Evangelion, and you have to learn all about it’ section. So that might simmer a bit longer.

    And i want to play Monster Sanctuary. The best pokemon game ever created.




  • It would be nice if the game speed and physics interaction were not tied to a inconsistent variable such as frame rate. And it seems that the more they pile on the gambryo engine the less receptive to modding it gets. But i can also accept that the cracks in the games that grow over time may not be the engine, but Bethesda prioritizing MVP centric development over hammering out the problems. Modders are carrying an auful lot of load to even get the games running.
