the funniest was the inafune thing where everyone literally just lied about his involvement. THE FATHER OF MEGAMAN

I'll admit THE FATHER OF ELEC MAN doesn't have quite the same ring.

Honestly, NFTs are no more a sham than people getting, I dunno, autographed books or certified movie prop replicas or Pokémon card misprints or the brick from the Berlin wall. It’s not about the actual thing but the symbolism or the rarity of it. If they fix the carbon impact (and it’s already totally possible), then what the heck, go for it. Giant corporations will benefit but legitimate artists as well. And if anyone doesn’t want to participate that’s fine as well.

Of course it’s more than a little lol that Ubisoft execs think the right message is “dumbass consumers just don’t get it.” But I think people do get too upset about markets existing for nebulous things. The collectibles market was already weird and inscrutable for hundreds of years; this is not anything new.

lol

News to me is that Ni no Kuni is a VR game world a la Sword Art Online. I always thought it was a fantasy world.

It's a VR game that transports its player into a fantasy world that is revealed to be a real place rather than a virtual one. This is not a particularly unique premise among VR/Fantasy stories.

The horrible crypto garbage attached to the project is the much more interesting and, honestly, relevant topic.

At this point GaaS effectively means "this game has a battlepass" since that appears to be the more prevalent model.

I couldn't make it to the end of the video because I just cannot stand watching clips of tommy tallarico for that long.

E: I do want to clarify that this expose on Tommy Tallarico is relevant to the topic at hand, especially with regards to his misdeeds and mismanagement. Just that, it is not particularly surprising that there isn't much discussion on it. Aside from the Amico fiasco it's more games industry history than news and it's very easy to be flippant about it considering the video starts with a deep dive into a meme.

It is also worth mentioning that COPPA is specifically an American law and the EU clearly feels it is insufficient.

Considering the state of the industry, this is not an unfair position to take.
