Reaction videos are free publicity for these rug pull schemes. They need to lure people who are not crypto savvy, so if even one dumb rich kid sees this video and chooses to invest, that's a win.
@@williambourque926 but he is... he is holding the bag and he is hoping there is some way to break even and get out. Trust me this guy doesnt believe in it anymore since if he does he wasnt this vocal
I love how were the bad guys now for wanting games to be about the gameplay and having fun and not about making money with a army of bots and daily log ins
So wait... he's saying out loud that "this is something Blizzard could have done, but specifically chose not to pursue," and it didn't occur to him to ask why?
Yeah lol most big companies considered it but decided against since it would harm the brand more than it would make them money. Except Square for some reason... but thats like a $5 investment that will be dead on arrival.
@@sinjin8576 I usually don't cringe but when he said that it physically hurt me. I have played those games (all the clones, rise of kingdoms, even fucking mafia city. state of survival. WOLF GAME I EVEN PLAYED) because they have ways to make money by getting to a certain level using GPT sites. Absolutely terrible games. Miserable. They are a cancer on the play store.
"When PC Gamers switched over to Mobile Gaming it was hard" I laughed XD, this man completely lacks any self awareness or is so desperate for cryptogaming to be a thing he needs to cope.
Mobile gaming is such a joke. I am pretty sure that good - nay - great mobile games exist, which are fun, play well, etc. The thing is, that finding them is like when you try to find your lost earring in a sewage container... When mobile gaming started being a "thing", I was really excited. I loved playing games, and at that time I was spending a lot of time commuting on a train or on an underground, so it seemed to be a good idea to try them. But soon it turned out that most of them are just cashgrab shit, so I lost interest pretty quickly. From time to time I try to look for something, but not much luck so far.
Yeah who switched? Some PC/console players do play mobile games too but mobile is generally a whole seperate market. And mobile games are THE biggest money makers out there, crypto games are never getting there.
I wanted to make a mobile game company, charge 10 dollars for "free to play games", and the 10 dollars just eliminates the cash shop forever. Then we could have actual games, like age of empires, starcraft, sim city, building tycoon, etc. Etc. Imagine a diablo mobile with no cash shop... Thats why we never switched to mobile. Wed rather spend 30 bucks a game to avoid cash shops.
@@fleetcommand here is a list of actually good mobile games : slay the spire, stardew valley, dead cells, turmoil, vampire survivors, bloons td 6, geometry dash, forager... oh..wait
Elden Ring sold more than 12 million units in its first 2 weeks. Final Fantasy XIV averaged near $200 million per month last year. Eternal Paradox, which Kira looked at a couple days ago, made 17 sales over 3 months. The numbers speak for themselves.
Even with only includes the word 'play to earn game', 'eneftee', or 'crypt0' on the description already makes people to turn away from it. People are getting smart to see what lies beneath those things, and there's no way the cryptobros could convince everyone to join their rugpull besides their fellow cryptobros.
@@vissermatt1058 Future sales+DLCs+Game of the Year Award for Elden Ring will make the game sell on long term. Not as much as it did on the first month after its release, but it will still generate a bit of money. Eternal Paradox though? Barely anybody heard about it people interested in crypto-finance, meaning the "game" might as well be dead on arrival.
@@Nico78Not well i was trying to be sarcastic. eldin ring was an amazing game that sold well and was well recieved. it will probably LEAD TO FUTURE profits in some way for elding ring the company, but it does not LEAD TO PROFITS for the player... as far as cash dollar goes. i see a future good game as a win though.... crypto style games are supposed to lead to profits for the player somehow... its like the laundry gnomes on southpark though, the equation is just broken.
@@vissermatt1058 Oh, sorry I misunderstood your point. There's one thing I've been curious about though : if players have to profit from playing the game, where does the money come from? How is the money generated and how can the player or the company be sure of its value? Because you would have to take into account the many currencies used in the world and their fluctuations. Plus, generating money out of "nothing" would mean inflation of the global market at some point (if it becomes a regular occurence, which it will since earning money without working will be attractive to most people) and will probably be checked by government agencies. And justifying money coming from a (legally) unknown source to - for example - the IRS... I think you catch my drift. So then, who/what justifies the source of the generated currency? And how can anyone be sure if such generation and data stockage is secure?
I think you hit the nail on the head - nobody wants to play a game where they're social nobodies due to financial limitations, but the appeal to these dudes is carrying that sense of power INTO gaming. Then nobody wants to play the plebian to their millionaire so their game is empty and they all rage. They're like little girls playing house and they want all their friends to pretend to be their kids and do what they say.
The best part about these cryptobros is that they are constantly losing money, constantly getting proven wrong, and completely delusional about the motivations of gamers, yet they still approach everything from a belief that anyone who isn’t on their hype train is an absolute moron for not buying into it. The study of the psychology of incessantly online, echo-chamber inhabitants is going to be be its own field eventually
Clash of Clans = the epitome of psychologically manipulative product design with the purpose of identifying whales willing to repeatedly empty their wallets into the developer's bank account when correctly encouraged to do so. Cryptogames = see above, just with extra steps.
It reminds of of those Life Insurance Salesman. Lol The way they try to tell you about how much you need it and also talk about it like it's an investment. Freakin vultures. Lol
I love how none of his arguments were "the gameplay is good", but all of his points were "this is designed to be an investment, so stop undermining my investment!"
because people want videogames to pass time and to just play a game for fun, the "cRyPtObRoS" are going to any opportunity for money, theyre playing instead fake stock market.
Like I think everyone has fantasized the idea of making money either on a game or in one but crypto is just the scummiest lowest form of this fantasy that's ever tried to catch on.
When he's talking about the rarity of Mew, what he's saying is for him to enjoying having a Mew, other people need to not have it. Not that it should be a reward for achieving the very best in the game, just that it should be rare and some people should never have the option to "catch 'em all" because they don't have enough money.
This is the thing. I know fuck all about pokemon, but ideally a rare legendary pokemon should be something you earn by being very good at the game, not because you paid a stupid amount of money for it before the game even existed.
This kind of attitude bothers me a bit, because it's too close to (and may even be indicative of) more toxic attitudes I've encountered. I've met people, both online and in real life, who simply can't enjoy a game unless they know their opponent is miserable. They can't simply enjoy both players having fun; they can only enjoy the game if you're miserable (and likewise, if you're having fun, they're miserable). It's not quite the same situation, but it sounds like a similar underlying attitude to me.
@@samasrcounts6079 Exactly, that comparison doesn't work because each Pokémon game is a closed world and in that world there is only one Mewtwo, so in universe it is super scarce. Plus the fact that getting is based on effort and actually playing the game then being rewarded for that rather than just dropping money.
I think the other game you covered perfectly sums it up. These crypto gamers want two tiers of players. They want to have NFT land so that they can be the land owners and then the rest of us gamers are serfs, playing the game on their virtual NFT land, earning THEM money while we “play” the game and use our PCs to process blockchain transactions. It’s unreal the disconnect that they don’t realize people don’t want to be serfs in both real life and in their video games.
Its the mobile game mentality. Look at thew largest mobile games and you will see they make their bank off of whales. I got into Galaxy of Heroes a Star Wars mobile game. I spent around a 100 dollars in a few months on character packs and resources. I eventually hit a wall and talked to members of the community and found out that the top tier players spent around 10k a month to stay on top. By the numbers it was like 2% of the player base generates more revenue for the company in a month than the other 98% combined in a year. The trick is though to keep those small minnows swimming around so the big guys can feel like they are dominating a large community.
His one comment about "I've played every major title, you can't make blanket statements because you don't even know me" sums up his major problem all in one go. You are attacking blockchain games, which he has tied his entire identity to (seemingly unconsciously) and he is taking it personally. When someone critiquing a thing (that you had nothing to do with creating) and you are taking it as a personal attack, take a step back and try to figure out why. Also, as a general heads up to future crypto-game defenders, you need to understand that it's not just blockchain that turns gamers off. If you can purchase things in a game in any way for real money that go beyond cosmetics, you are turning away probably 95% of your potential playerbase right away. SOME free to play games can go pay to win and do alright because they are free to play. Crypo games are not free to play (some might be. but let's be honest it would probably be more fun to strike your own dick with a hammer than play a crypto game as a free player) and often require a substantial investment just to get started, and on top of this have the worst type of pay to win economy you can imagine. Nobody wants to deal with that shit. These games are never going to take off.
That's all on top of generously assuming there's any intent of actually releasing it when the hype is the sole thing keeping it alive. Like there's any hope for that kind of sunk cost live service being able to provide any incentive for devs (under a team/company that has nothing to lose) to not wipe their ass with the game the second it comes out.
This comment. I feel that so much, whenever I see any ties to additional payment to merely playing a game, I no longer see it as a good investment of time or entertainment, it's just an investment, and one you're going to lose at. I can't imagine that sort of feeling, heightened while playing at higher stakes of monetization when it comes to Crypto-games, with lower gameplay mechanics, there's just nothing there, you'd literally be better off spening your money, at a Casino, than investing in cyrptobro's defending their pyramid schemes called "games".
Damn, my friend is pretty autistic and he's exactly like what you described. He can't seem to get it through his head that not everyone likes the same things, instead he gets personally offended if I criticize anything he likes. Even if I simply say that I'm not interested, he gets offended and pretty offensive about it too. It's like he doesn't understand that him liking something doesn't make it objectively the best thing ever and fully expects anyone he tells about his newest interest to instantly get on board and praise him for being a genius because he's the one who "gets it". He also proselytizes all of his interests to others like he's some special prophet who understands what us mere mortals never will, at least without his help. When I see cryptobros take things personally I can't help but feel that it's not the autism that makes my friend behave like this, because not all cryptobros are autistic. I've realized it's more likely just narcissism that makes them unable to understand that they're not the world's smartest person who's always right about everything. What I don't understand though is why these people keep tying their identity to things that have nothing to do with them personally.
I love how all the crrypto bros can't stand being called out an dhave to rush to the defense due to the high scam rate of this nonsense, and their game will be the "exception"
That part at least makes sense. You cant get a person to buy cars from your lot if someone is in front of it saying all your cars are shit. The crypto market is all about speculation meanwhile gaming is all about results. (Something the preorder crowd have forgotten and lament daily)
@@sinjin8576 Hey you actually can since you can go in the lot and check the cars out for yourself. But when you're just selling the idea of a car that will never exist it's a lot harder.
Deja vu: "I know that countries calling themselves Marxist end up being murderous hellholes, but trust me if we turn our country Marxist it won't happen"
Remember, arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. He'll knock over the pieces, sh*t all over the board, and then strut around like he's won.
Watching Cryptobros trying to convince gamers and non-cryptobros that Crpyto would be the future of gaming reminds me of the guy who seemingly unknowingly pitched a pyramid scheme on Shark Tank. The guy kept pushing and pushing, even when the panel basically walked him through the entire thing he was pitching and showing him it was a pyramid scheme. He couldn't seem to accept it. Cryptobros can't seem to accept that, no, gamers don't want this, end of story. It's... just sad.
I say it’s time we stop saying it’s because they are incompetent or stupid but because they are malicious. They know what they’re doing is a scam/wrong but they have money/skin in the game.
Was that the poor sweaty bastard who was sold the business by his ex wife and literally made a pyramid with his hands while explaining it WASNT a pyramid scheme? That one was painful.
I think I learned something from this video. When Kira first covered this project, I was somewhat confused by why they'd keep mentioning stuff you can do if you own property, but never mentioned what the non-owners would do. I mean, even if the goal is to someday own land (which only a limited number of people can do), there has to be something to draw people in in the meantime, right? But watching this guy, and his attitude that scarcity is what matters in a game, tells me that they're not concerned with drawing in the masses. They're just trying to appeal to the folks whose idea of a good game is having something they can lord over the have-nots. (I'm sure this realization isn't a revelation to most, but I've only recently started seeing videos about cryptogaming and the folks who support it.) But if the games don't offer a fun experience for the have-nots (other than hoping to someday be one of the lords), why would they join this game, or stick around once they do? And if there are no have-nots, and the only players are ones who bought stuff to lord it over others, who are they lording it over? By focusing exclusively on the people who want to be super-special, you'll end up with only the super-specials in the game. And when everyone's super, no one will be.
People want to be the lord and command the peasants, without thinking that in a game you need peasantsto be okay with the fact they are under the lord It's power fantasy. They want to be the one in control for once. If they need to, they'll pay to have this illusion...
yeah, it's stupid, and that's exactly what the devs are relying on. people not realising how the logistics just don't add up. cryptobros are so braindead there's no way they'll notice. only a blockchain game could get away with this
Essentially these guys that get into the ground level of these “games” the ones that actually make money are essentially into it in order to pass the bag onto someone else. Crypto games are essentially like the card game Old Maid. You don’t want to be the one holding the Old Maid at the end of the game. If you are the one holding the NFT at the end of the game you are the one who lost because you are the only one who couldn’t get someone else to take the Old Maid off your hand thus you are the only one who didn’t get their money back
Also these games don't last. The devs and schills like the guy in the video hawking them only stick around long enough to pump and dump. Hell, 99% of them don't even make it out of what they call alpha testing which in most cases isn't even that in the general gaming market.
When you're free to do anything, why do anything at all. Limitation in life, feeds that need to desire something special and unique in life, but if you just have that experience handed to you? It's not special, what makes these experiences memorable, is actually experienced the highs and lows in getting to that point... If you were just able to teleport to the top of Mt. Everrest, then everyone would do it, and it'd no longer be a unique or memorable expereince (not saying that I'd want to, but I understand the context for peope to want to experience that degree of difficulty).
"You can't point out glaring faults in our system that let people steal millions! Telling people is offensive to my money making scheme and hurts my Ill gotten gains!"
I had this video playing on my second monitor while I launched my first rocket in Factorio, bringing a 62-hour run to an end, then immediately uninstalled the game before I started another playthrough. But by all means Mr. Not-A-Crypto-Bro I've-Played-Every-Major-Title, please educate me on how NFTs and blockchain will improve my gaming experience, and try not to make me laugh so hard this time.
I just like the phrase "All of the world of warcraft titles" it really sounds like something a real gamer who knows what warcraft is would say. I'm guessing he looked up this guys history and saw all of the wow "expansions" he worked on and thought they were different games in the world of warcraft series, which is actually the warcraft series.
"never heard of cryptoland." all right you can tell this dude is playing an act or is apart of some science-fiction Snatcher assimilation project because there's nobody on the internet who hasn't memed on cryptoland in the last year
I think the saddest part of this video, is that at the end of it, Tendiesbro was like "I fucking got him". All he did was showcase exactly why people don't like NFT 'gaming'. Anyway, I look forward to the video about Arya trying to take this video down as well.
It’s not sad; it’s only sad, if you care about what they think. The infos, the help, the warnings are all out there; you can only do so much. Let them think they won - it’s all they’ve got…
In order to criticise Kira, he basically dunks on his own content. He says that the Mirandus overview video, which he himself made, isn't a good enough representation of the game and doesn't do it justice. Amazing.
@@TheGoodColonel The humor stems from the fact that he's commemorating the short upload in a video that is clearly much longer than the usual Kira video
Damn, imagine if you came to FF14 and you wanted to play a Dragoon or a Black Mage only to find out that all of the 10k soul crystals for those classes are taken and you are stuck with your regular job. And you can't play any of the expansion classes for the same reason. And you can't get any tomestones, because the limited amount of them has already been raided and is now in the hands of players that don't even pay the sub. Truly a future of gaming. Edit: Actually, i don't need to imagine this. The housing market already exists. And while i still have this thread of thought, here's more ways to ruin the player experience with artificial scarcity in FF14: 1. You can't play a catgirl, a bunnygirl, an Au Ra girl, or a girl of any kind, or even a Lalafel, because the game needs to "maintain racial diversity in the playerbase", so you are stuck with a basic ass ugly human. 2. You can't complete your fashion, because the helmets of the kind you want are sold out and can only be made by crafters. Who's soul crystals are taken. And who can't make shit anyway, because the natural resources of the game world are drained anyway. 3. You can't fight a primal you want, because the Beast Tribe that is supposed to summon it doesn't have enough crystals to do so. And they can't accumulate anymore, because they've all been eradicated. And then someone had a brilliant idea of tying that shit to the story progression as well. 3.5 YOU CAN'T PROGRESS THE FUCKING STORY, because the 8 people who did every major trial first have already killed the villains. You are never going to see Emet Selch, because he is already dead. If someone looks at this and still says that artificial scarcity in gaming is a good idea, then they are fucking braindead, period.
Companies want to sell copies of their game. This crypto garbage creates a Barrier to Entry. The average median income in the US is $31k... ain't nobody got hundreds of dollars to spend on an Elf and if they can't play an Elf without doing so, and must settle for an Orc, they will do one of two things: they'll settle, play unhappy, and leave, or they won't even start at all. Cryptobros are half a pinky finger at best ... game developers want the whole hand and will make games to get as close to that as they can.
I love that cryptobro just stopped the video and talked about it instead of just showing the point that he's reacting to, just after he shot himself in the foot saying 'Kira reacts to horrible examples' and said that's the game he made a trailer for! lol
@@mat99134 It's amazing that despite literally being a mobile gacha game, Limbus Company is leagues above these crypto projects in pretty much every way.
@@shinymetagross1666 Yeah, it is my first and only gacha game, it had *many* bugs on release that soft-locked me for two weeks, and yet I stuck around and even bought the battle pass. The game and its universe are just that good.
I feel like this back-n-forth response stuff was exactly what Aria Reality wanted from you back in the day when he was asking about how much money you made off content n stuff. It must burn him up to see you dancing with another partner.
Considering how many people refuse to play EVE Online due to how much of a perceived advantage veteran players have, how many are going to accept that in a game that has that same "first movers" advantage on the first day.
Every time that they talk about rarity I wanna scream. Newsflash, most people are not a fan of being gatekept out of being able to play the game they want to for the sake of preserving the value for someone else! 1000 Elves that exist ever is extraordinarily different than only getting 1 of each Legendary Pokemon per playthrough. Both are 'rare', but one doesn't infringe on one's ability to enjoy the sandbox and what is in the game.
You watched this video to entertain people like me for an hour. Thanks for making the sacrifice - it's entertaining to hear your thoughts/opinions/reactions.

There is one good use case for NFTs and gaming. Make a digital game an NFT so you can resell it when you're done. The whole game. The entire thing. Bring the used game market to the digital space. Thing is? NFT bros or game devs will never do this because it's not a way to line their pockets. They don't care about digital ownership. If they did, they'd put their money where their mouth is and let you sell the game when you were done with it.
Exactly. Let me sell my digitial license to another player when I'm done. But strangely enough that's not on their agenda, even though it's been a demand players have been making since day 1 of DRM systems like Steam. It won't generate them any or enough money whereas reselling cosmetics and advantages still allows them to retain the overall control over stuff and most importantly keep the same players hooked. This is all a continuation of the predatory mechanics that F2P and mobile games introduced and not some kind of freedom cry for gamers. People really have to be naive to believe that nonsense.
I feel like I just watched Kira's soul slowly seep out of his body, and I should apologize to him for laughing at it so much. But it was so funny and frustrating...
The deal breaker for selling games is how much you can hype it, not whether it's actually good when it comes out and, for better or worse, many people don't look into or even care whether a developer/publisher has anything to lose. Which is great for both indie games and total shams.
@@NewNecroLOL. no indie game actually have to be good to generate hype, because that actually comes from word of mouth and real player reviews on steam. LOL. Are you even sane dude
The bro clearly did a search "largest gaming volume, PC or mobile?". And the rest is history. I would be very surprised if he ever played a game. His opinions are possibly based on the amount of adds that pop up while watching videos.
anybody that says "i have played every major title" did not play every major title. That's a REALLY LARGE list and gives me a lot of doubt. Ok maybe he played COD releases or one or two MMOs or battlefields etc but just those i listed is a TON of your time each day. I highly doubt you truly played every major title. But, maybe his definition of major title is different than mine.
"Major title" also is a hilarious term. Do you mean triple A titles? Games that are making waves? Positive OR negative? Games that won GOTY? Games that are considered significant titles in the history of gaming? Because those all have different implications for what he played. Especially the "making waves" one because that implies he played stuff like Garten of BanBan and Gollum (although Gollum was not out yet but it's still very funny to think that.) 😂😂😂 Yo does he know the deep lore of Five Night's at Freddy's? That's definitely a major title, so he must have played all the games!! Even the VR and mobile ones!! 😂😂😂😂
These games are simply a bad business idea. What do you do with a bad business idea? You drop it and move on despite whatever you personally think. The market decided quite a while ago now that no one wants this stuff. Trying to force a bad idea on the market because they're just positive people want it will ruin them. They are too personally invested in these projects and need to stop being emotional about them. This isn't a new widget they poured sweat and blood into in a shed in their backyard while everyone laughed at them but they're acting like it is. It's this "hustle" mentality that drives people to side-gig treadmills and get rich quick schemes that never pan out.
Just imagine when you're in a game, and instead of gold your bank account ballance is shown for how much money you have. That is pure horror, i'm already scared to look at my bank account
"When we switched to mobile gaming it was tough transition...No it wasn't they just don't play it." Nailed it again Kira. That guy is obviously not a gamer. I know no gamers who got rid of their consoles or pc's and just play games on their phones. This guy is right up there with that Blizzard guy as clueless and tone deaf "Don't you guys have phones?"
I know absolutely no one who plays mobile games. Mobile ports? Sometimes, but most of my friends still had their portable nintendo or sony systems if they wanted to play on the go. There is nothing in a mobile game that I can't get out of a switch game, and I don't have to pay to win.
I wouldn't say criminal or unethical, as each and everyone of these idiots are attempting to "persuade" others to join in on their favourite money making scheme.
The funniest thing about cryptobros talking about gaming is that they all talk like they've never played a game before and actively detest gaming as a hobby.
I love when he said he was excited for the game. Never mentioned what he was excited to do in it and instead basically said it's fun to interact with the people on the discord and give feedback. We all know the reality is what he is excited about when it comes to these 'games' is 'making money' which for people like him amounts to dumping his bags on his gullible audience. Also I'd eat my shoe if this guy has played a single game before he was able to monetize them on twitch or something.
One thing you both didn't mention with all of this is that it takes the extra step to create a wallet and charge it up with crypto. When I wanna buy a wow token, I pay with PayPal and that's it. When I wanna buy crypto to buy something on open sea (and correct me if I'm wrong) I cannot simply just buy it with PayPal. I need to make a wallet, buy currency on an exchange platform (which sometimes asked for an ID like my passport besides making another account) and then I need to have an eye on it every damn day in case the market crashes. Sure that happens with fiat currency too, but that is backed by huge banks which won't let it fail so easy. If a crypto fails, no dev, no company will pump in the money to bring it back to its original or even a fragment of that. They just... Move on... When I resell my wow token I get money back for the blizz store which will roughly give me the same amount as store credit again which I can use to purchase other things which are worth the same.
Regarding interoperability Kira? You forgot to mention that we can already actually do that without the blockchain. As you said, companies have to come together to do it but it's absolutely something that is easily done if companies already want to and without the blockchain at all, it wouldn't actually add anything to the process except expense.
It's just nonsense. Even if they decided to come together there would be massive limits to it. Games vary too much in scope, graphics, style, gameplay for assets to be transferable "just like that". Cryptobros seem to truly think that all it takes is the push of one button, presumably made possible by blockchain implementation. But that's obviously false. They are severly uneducated about game development and the games industry.
Its still will be a mess imagine making an action game that is build in mind with 8-5 diffrent wepons how will you be able to add other 100 diffrent wepons from an action rpg like elden ring into it.
@@Lenariet I think a good example of the best we can hope for with this is Super Smash Bros Ultimate. It had many characters and assets from non-Nintendo properties, but it was built by an entirely Nintendo team who knew the Switch and the code and could translate the different characters to the game in their own artstyle. Fortnite also would be a good example, although Ultimate had custom fighting moves, stages and animations...but yeah...both were made by one team with reference material provided by outside sources. If either had multiple studios working on them, with thousands of different hands working on the coding and art, etc, they wouldn't be successes. They'd be miserable money sucking flops.
this reminds me of earth2 when they would sale "land plots" before the game was even being produced. its like the aaa companies tryed to add crypto stuff and nft's and they flop as a result, so if giant game compony cant even do it what makes these guys think they can make it. the reason they fail is because no one wants to spend money on useless pictures or games that are more about the ingame store then the game itself. in recent years ive seen games from giant companies fail because they want to add this kind of stuff.
Him: "Hey you are just looking at the bad games, here is a list of good ones" Kira: "Ok, I start by looking at one of them, it's shit" Him: "Wait no don't look at that one I told you about, that one is clearly bad but the rest are great!"
Man is in a different universe. He can sit there and say with a straight face that having to buy into a game for hundreds or thousands of $ just to get a level 0 character is a good thing.
I've played a lot of MMOs over the years, and generally, MMOs are the most fun when they come out and everyone starts out fresh at the same level. If NFT games are selling lands and gear before the game even comes out, it's already not that interesting for any new players.
58 here and crypto is nothing, it failed at being a consistent medium of exchange and the greed will eventually do it in. Leave games alone please we don't want crypto bullshit in them.
That's true about viewership and sub count. I subbed to a couple of creators that I liked at the time but then they either didn't match what my opinion came to be or their content went in a direction that I didn't feel was entertaining to me so I still kept my sub to them but just check back periodically to see if their content or a video that I'm interested in is worth viewing. Meant to remove my sub from them but like everything else......Life happens...then you forget altogether.
Always funny how these crypto projects attract a very specific kind of person. This honestly felt like watching a 12 year old trying to articulate his terrible argument, although the 12 year old would probably have been less smug throughout.
Actually find it insane how he keeps saying "you don't get it" but doesn't get why, regardless of gameplay, Blockchain games don't showcase their own speculative benefits and only showcase how gamers can be further taken advantage of.
I feel like people don't talk about it but Kira is one of the funniest creators I follow. Not only are the videos informative and really interesting but they make me laugh out loud almost every time. I really think Kira could be a comedian if he wanted to. The comedic timing and quick wit is so good.
This is so funny, they keep saying you are misinformed but the truth is they are delusional roflol. Tell them to make a good game first then figure out how to work crypto into it lol. They are so greedy they skip the good game part and wonder why they keep failing lol. Dedicated game companies have a hard time finding the pulse of the gamers!
The game part is always secondary in these blockchain game projects - it has to be in order for their scheme to work. If they already have a game and release it with NFTs and crypto and the game isn't received well (which they know it won't be), none of these cryptobros would buy the tokens or NFTs they're selling because they'd know the game is dogshit and that the tokens and NFTs are unlikely to go up in price due to a lack of players demanding them. If however you hype up a game that doesn't exist yet and make a bunch of unrealistic promises, you can convince these cryptobros that real gamers will come in and buy their tokens and NFTs for a higher price than what they originally paid for them.
Not directly related to the video, but as a little side note i can give cryptobros as someone who does network programming: there is already a way to make interoperable assets without the blockchain. Its called a database! 😁 A good example for interoperable assets are minecraft skins, which can just be downloaded via an api call and be implemented wherever allowed. Or maybe a better example: oauth is literally a universal login system working on multiple sites without the need of a "metaverse" or blockchain 😁👍 The only thing stopping assets from being interoperable is the fact that game companies don't want that, because they obv. don't want you to use third party stuff on THEIR plattform. This is not a technical issue 👍
Must be convenient to have "never heard of" everything with negative coverage and use that lack of knowledge as proof that it's actually a good thing. Instead of deciding to look into it they just go "oh these are the only bad players in the entire thing and everyone else is super legitimate"
Did this guy say PC gamers went to mobile gaming? What sacrilege is this? The phase "Do you guys not have phones" is one of the most infamous statements uttered.
I think one of the disconnects is that the crypto boys are not gamers, so they dont know what to expect from a game, so they have no idea how to put a value on the game, instead being drawn in by crypto, forgetting that the game needs to be good to keep the crypto going.
"Try to check out a game and try not to mention the NFT side of it" But that's the point, though, what we have a problem with isn't games, it's *the effing NFT side of it* (And with NFT games, the ONLY thing they have to them most of the time are the NFTs, and appart from that look like they 20y behind)
He called Clash of Clans a good game LMAO. I had a friend try to get me to play that one time like 5 years ago. I took one look at his screen while he was describing the game and laughed in his face.
1:07:04 yeah right - if this guy is 35 he wasn’t playing Atari growing up. I’m 39 and the only people I knew who had ever touched anything pre-NES were my much older cousins.
They're so desperate to defend their investment and it's really sad. Would they give a fuck about any of these games if it didnt have crypto or nfts? No ofc not
Something that I didn't know until I tried to get into sales is that salespeople tend to be the most easily impulsed type. They know the game but still can't help themselves and they judge everyone else by that standard. It's of no surprise to me at all that the 'trust me bro' personalities are the most sunk and that they are eating where they sh!t.
he raises the point that transaction fees exist to support the developers... AFTER making a huge deal out of the ability to take your items and resources to ANY third party marketplace to sell them, meaning you will bypass the transactions fees for the devs and pay them to someone else. And if the devs claim transaction fees from you selling your stuff freely on the blockchain it's not really decentralized anymore, is it?
