that's kinda true. like a week ago in cspam i said "based on empirical data like my dog burping and farting simultaneously just now, i think we're gonna see a real strong recovery" after someone posted a bunch of bullshit analysis, and someone pointed out that was probably just as technically valid

loved the simultaneous burp n' fart though, it legit impressive

it’s a mistake to dismiss this sort of post as pure dumbassery. crypto is small and stupid enough that if enough retweets happen it can easily move the market and self-fulfil the prophecy. this is a blatant attempt to manipulate the market via tea leaf reading.

so nfts seem to be firmly cemented as being a thing you buy and hope to sell for more than you bought it for, so have they given up on the dumb idea that it will let you use the BFG9000 in solitaire?

the solitairecoin mmo is still in production but it’s going to blow you away when it comes out, so people are clamoring to buy the bfg9000 now - they’re getting in on that ground floor, baby

nfts in games are still a thing. square enix's ceo has the crypto brainworms and sold off all their western studios to focus more on nfts and blockchain at the beginning of may

https://wccftech.com/square-enix-explains-why-it-just-sold-eidos-and-crystal-dynamics/ posted:

Today's breaking gaming news that Square Enix sold its internal Western developers (Eidos Montréal, Square Enix Montréal, and Crystal Dynamics) to the Embracer Group for $300 million was followed by a press release shared by the Japanese company, which includes financial details and the rationale behind the move.

The Japanese company said it aims to focus on blockchain, AI, and cloud from now on, just as mentioned last week by Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda, who highlighted the importance of blockchain and play to earn to incentivize the creation of user-generated content. Square Enix will also continue publishing Western franchises such as Just Cause (Avalanche), Outriders (People Can Fly), and Life is Strange (Dontnod, Deck Nine).

unrelated to square enix, this mobile game just launched (in english) yesterday:

https://www.siliconera.com/ni-no-kuni-cross-worlds-launched-with-crypto-nft-plans/ posted:

Text on the game’s official website states that Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds “employs a gameplay-based blockchain system,” enabling players “to play to earn tokens through gameplay.” The team promises to “do [its] best to preserve the token values.”

The Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds crypto tokens take the form of “Territe” and “Asterite.” Territe is earned through regular activity, while Asterite is earned through PVP activity in the game’s arena mode. These currencies also function as resources used for character progression. They can be traded for the crypto tokens (NKT and NKA) that reside on Marblex, the blockchain operated by NetMarble across its games. Players can then trade and sell them to each other or to third parties. They can also trade for MBX, a NetMarble-exclusive cryptocurrency.

According to a content roadmap, NetMarble plans to add NFT functionality to Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds by “Q4 2022.”

apparently it launched in asia a while ago and made over $100 million dollars in its first 11 days so it's not a tiny irrelevant game either

however this is all examples of big companies latching on to nfts as a way to grift more money out of users. i don't know if there are many cases of true believers(tm) trying to shill nfts on the premise of keeping your bfg between games anymore

i'm totally okay with squenix divesting themselves of a bunch of properties i enjoy

vastly increasing the chance someone will make another game with them
