- 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.

Let me explain one of the plans to get consumers excited about some of these AA games is the idea of Interpolation between the games made by the same studio basically shared(encrypted assets) that carryover to the next game that is created by the game studio
@@birdcagegood2972 you see, that'd be a great argument for NTF games. If it weren't already possible without NFT technology that is.
Crypto twitter and certain influencers have been touting blockchain gaming since 2021, we’re near half way through 2024 and there is still not a single game that I can see that traditional gamers are chomping at the bit to play.
Steam banning NFTs dealt massive damage to their momentum lmao
Praise be onto Gaben, our lord and savior
Compare this to their stance on AI - from what I've understood, Valve quietly changed their ToS from "no AI-generated assets" to "developer/publisher is the one responsible if AI-generated asset causes copyright dispute." I think the exact wording is something about developer/publisher promising that the game doesn't have copyright-violating AI stuff in it, giving Valve an easy way to throw them under the Copyright Bus if one arrives to demand its due.
We going to suffer a lot when Lord Gaben passes away

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.
There's two types of crypto bros.
The immoral people who are knowingly running a scam and trying to rake you into it so you will lose all your money to them.
Or
The true believers....in ponzi like schemes. These people are perhaps even worse. Throwing their money away while calling YOU an idiot and then crying about it like victims when they lose their shirt.
Explain to me how AI is the new bogeyman of gaming?
@@birdcagegood2972 texture work, voice acting. some games used the ai format well (infinite craft is a good example) but mostly its just to create something quick without the effort
@@Sockren sure something that is made without effort isn’t gonna be as quality is something that is made with skill, so it will still require skill because all the AI is a tool… if you try to use AI without refining it with skill the algorithm which it’s running by which requires skill and also if you don’t use the AI in a skilled way, it won’t turn out very well for instance Minecraft… as well as no man’s sky, and then compare that because their maps are procedurally generated and compared to Starfield world design which is also procedurally generated,It still requires skill to build a game if you’re using the same relatives and also requires you to refine the tool for it to be precise for what you need to create and do so it still requires humans at the wheel to refine and sharpen the tool , because AI is just a tool it requires handcrafting and tuning … requires 3-D modelers… story writers… because often times AI will do something in an inefficient way, so you have to optimize the way that it does things because it’s algorithm isn’t perfect… but it’s because a AI cannot air check itself like a human can in the same way where it can think logically backwards through the steps to figure out what its major mistake was logic gates on a computer moves forward, do not move back.. the electrical signals in the human brain the electrical signals move forward and back so we have the ability to reflect on our mistakes/flaws, unlike an AI machine
@@Sockren all this is a tool man… still requires imagination and skill to build a game… because a computer can only think forward it cannot think backwards and forwards like a human mind can so way the transistors are set up so it can’t see its own mistakes and flaws so it still requires a human brain to make a video game that’s actually worth your time and that requires skill and experience with programming coding and game design world building storytelling and dialogue so humans are definitely in the process even if you use AI like I said before it’s just a tool just like procedural generation allows you to create a larger map, but it makes so then you don’t have to put so much focus on the overall world, and you can put more into the little details and tweak things based on being modular… no man’s sky, elder scrolls, dagger fall two, Minecraft ,terraria, did this excellently and a bad version of procedural generation would be Starfield…. I saw these tools can help save time on development for Indy Studios that want to make more simplified games and just don’t have the money to make a AAA game. It allows them to simplify things by using AI still make it pretty large game, but then give them more time to focus on the little details that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to focus on and working out bugs in the game.
Haven't met a single crypto person who was someone you'd introduce to your parents
That's a weird insult.
Is that an insult to crypto bros or your parents?
to be fair, i haven't met a single gamer in my life who fits that description either so yeah
@@MrBenMcLean Henry Cavil?
Yep but the idea of crypto alone I just wouldn't introduce to them.
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.
there's a difference between innovation they say and improvements.
Hey man, no need to go that far, indies are here for us. gaming is not entirely dead.
Nintendo are the only ones who still give hope.
The "innovation" was in monetization.
Ya I miss the day's when a game company just made games. And you could get hyped for it based on there other titles. Now it i wonder how bad is the game going to be ruined by bugs/transactions/censoring and over pricing it.
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
but 99% of crypto games are free to play... what you mean with "idiots fall for it"
i have earned about 100 bucks playing crypto free to play games, its not a scheme if you never put any real money into it. i don't understand your hate.
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 don't know how cryptos work. However, I know enough that if you get some money from something, it has to come from somewhere. Money don't just appear out of thin air. Like where did the money prize you get from the casino came from? It is from those losers who walk out with empty bank account with no expressions on their faces. One reason I avoid anything that smells like Pyramid Schemes or Ponzi.
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?
Yes, indie games. Look beyond AAA and you'll find amazing stuff at reasonable prices, made by people who actually respect you as a player and customer.
@@PXAbstraction even then. When all bought through steam or a digital distributor. Your liscense can be revoked at any point. Until we get the games drm free and can actually keep the software for ourselves. It'll always be an issue.
@@xenosayain1506 GOG sell DRM free games that you own.
You missed the shit ton of DLC and Microtransactions
@@PXAbstraction You think Indie is safe? Hahaha, man, I got some bad news for you. There is a LOT of woke garbage in Indie games. People like Sweet Baby Inc and other consultant companies have infected Indie, it's not exactly a secret if you do your research, lol. So with that being said, let's name a few that are woke and while considered "Good" by their review scores, still hide the same garbage that AAA have in their games today.
Kingdom Eighties, Sable, Battle Shapers and Neo cab. These 4 games, when looked at from a review score alone, are great indie games. But, when you do some digging and see the garbage that is inside the game, nothing has changed from AAA games, just the price tag. You see Anti-male propaganda, LGBT propaganda, you see genders being erased in favor of "Body type", you see some of them encouraging pronouns, you see censorship of fanservice, you see multiculturalism expressed as a good thing, etc, etc.
Some Indie games are also woke but don't have anything to do with consultant companies such as Sweet Baby Inc or other consultant companies, lemme give you two examples.
Cassette Beasts: Encourages the insanity of "pronouns", also promotes anti-capitalism and multiculturalism, two things that they try to encourage as a good thing and preach to you over and over again, much like the woke games of AAA.
SunnySide: While this game is not out yet, it still has woke elements, of which you can see from it's Demo. The game portrays Japan as a multicultured and diversed country, which while I'd be fine with in an individual story based in a completely different universe.. SunnySide is instead based in reality, something the game devs have confirmed. The characters have no gender, but have a slider to adjust their femininity and masculinity instead, so they only have one adjustable gender, another thing that is common in woke games, trying to erase gender, which is disgusting.
Two examples of Indie games being woke and I could go on for quite a while, call me sensitive or a political pig if it makes you feel better about yourself, but I'm not going to pretend something is fine when it isn't. Indies aren't safe. Your statement of "made by people who actually respect you as a player and customer" is a bunch of bullshit, there are just as many Indie games who would spit in your face as AAA games would.
Let's stop pretending and instead encourage people to do proper research and call out the loonies for their blatant agendas, thanks. :)

Indies Will Never Die
With THAT stuff happening, I am pretty sure of this!
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.
There are so many old games to play, no need to pay up for some new game that is mostly eye candy requiring heavy duty hardware to get the full experience.
Hey, with a hard line stance like that, you’re only hurting yourself. I guess just do nothing new ever again because of a bad experience or two? Seems like the reaction is worse than the problem
Same. I used to play a lot. I haven't played much in the last 10-15 years. 1000's of games in that time and only bought like 10 new non-remakes. If I play anything these days I only play GTA5, Star Trek Online, FO:3/4/76, ES:3/4/5/Online, and Battlefront 2. The Nintendo Switch has had some decent new games, and really good deals. But most the games I get and play are remakes still. Old games are still better. Gaming has really hit a decline. Sad times.
They typo'd, they meant they will have _quantity_ standards.
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.
This is what happens when trends are brainlessly followed and people wanna do "innovative" things.
I think it's more people wanna "get rich quick" pump and dumps are so common in crypto. Nft is a replacement for art that'll be used to embezzle money imo. Idk tho we'll see.

NFTs are already a massive thing though. It's just cryptobros being utterly brain-dead and not leveraging the already existing markets with tons of inertia in CSGO, TF2, Dota, Valorant etc. instead they chose to make a new thing with 0 charm and 0 proper investment.
It's like AAA making dedicated e-sports titles from scratch only to utterly fail all over again because they refuse to make a good game first.

Thankfully I’m stuck in the past.
The issue at hand is clearly the unreasonable high standards of gamers. Anyway, meanwhile at Ubisoft they are going to sell the next AAAA quality game for $130. The future looks pretty indie.
Worked at a Silicon Valley game studio that tried to stitch in blockchain to track ownership several years ago. It was a desperate bid to attract VC funding.
The company is now defunct. Go figure.
Well the future looks pretty shitty…
Hey, is Elon done dicking around on Twitter so we can get to Mars?
The problem is that people keep buying games no questions asked
"The first thing I noticed was the smell of burning plastic. I shouldn't've searched 'nft' in the epic store."
Crypto and NFTs in gaming are like live-service and micro-transactions: in theory you could make a good game that happens to include those things, but more likely you are making a platform for those things that happens to be a game. And very often a terrible one due to financial priorities.
the thing is is the supposed "idea" of nfts in game is you actually own what you bought in game, the only issue with that is that if the game goes down then those nfts are worthless, then the most common counter argument afterword's is "ya but other games can then put them in" which everybody knows is ridiculous and would take a long ass time, plus I don't think there's a single dev in the industry that would just pick up a ton of new 3d models to add on a whim.
so while yes you can make a good game with NFT's the struggle is finding WHERE the NFT's would fit and make sense which will ultimately just default to microtransactions which have already been in the industry for years and they don't really add any value to the base consumer other then I own the nft. the issue is so what? as established, like a normal microtransaction I still cant use it when the game shuts down.
hey nft bros instead of trying to waste your time with trying to implement useless microtransactions(or don't I guess) how bout I actually own my copy of the game that I bought from you through normal money(or crypto if you wanna use both) so that I can actually do whatever with that copy of that game. personally I think its a better option since they talk about "decentralized internet" and "digital ownership" all the time and its always a big win for the games longevity and game preservation if the players can keep the game alive long after the big servers shut down but something tells me they would never do that since it would completely get rid of their illusion of what they mean by that. cause I look at those two terms coming from their mouths and I hear "were gonna sell you the game, were gonna sell you expensive skins called 'NFT's', then when we finally take the game away from you(due to EULA's and shit) you get to keep all the dinky expensive trinkets you have from all the 'fun' you had that wouldn't even be considered paperweights at best. sound good?" which I'm gonna be honest sounds worse then what we currently have in my honest opinion.
The best part is they act like they made something all new and crap, when in reality they've just made a worse version of Valve's item inventory.
They're never gonna _actually_ make games that actually let you take cosmetics cross-game or anything after all. So it winds up being that they've just made a worse version of a TF2 hat or Counter Strike skin.
If this is the future of gaming id gladly retire and start churning bit by bit on my massive backlog of games I actually would care to play.
honestly, nft/bc tech used for digital media/game ownership with ability to second hand trade (as you could in the past with phisical media) would be nice thing to have but we all know this never gona happen.
This is what always baffled me about NFT push for gaming. The only rational use for NFTs in gaming, is expanded ownership, which the idiots running gaming don't want. Any major company that pursued NFTs just lit money on fire.
OR: Denounce AAA gaming and games as a service, instead support indie games.
If that shit's the future of gaming... I'll happily keep living in the past as long as I can.
The only real use case of blockchain's and nft's in gaming would be to make it so that you actually *own* the digital games you buy, rather than them being long-term rentals that can be taken away from you for any reason, should the company decide to. This probably would require some form of decentralized server storage for games to be hosted on, where after purchasing the game, an nft receipt is provided that allows you to access the game. I imagine game companies are not interested in this though.
Now that is a novel concept... that will be killed in the cradle.
This is what I've been thinking too. Using nft's as proof of purchase for digital goods is the only way they can be useful.
But even this is has too many questions to be usefull (at least for the forseeable future). For example the logistics. How do new receipts get made? How do you ensure the product was actually purchased? How can a person access their purchased goods? What about different versions? Could you access different servers for the same software?
It's basically Steam Store clone with crypto coin instead of real money. Just hope the cryptocurrency don't get dumped into hell.
Yes, conceivably you could have a whole secondary marketplace of owned digital assets, which could potentially create an artist economy making, I guess, gun skins and the like for unreal 5 games or unity games or something. It will never happen, because the whole concept is based on gamers owning the underlying digital assets.
The future does not look good.

Crypto is the MLM for Gen Z.
I avoid articles and videos mentioning crypto, NFTs, web3, etc. Consider it a great compliment I watched your video on the topic. You confirmed my previous take. It's a lot of nothing.
Gaming is a past time, not a life need. I don't need gaming, but gaming needs me.
The problem with Crypto in the gaming space is the motivations driving it. Having a gaming resale market could be good, but the big publishers aren't going to let you take your 1 NFT skin from that market to their game. Without the big players embracing pro-consumer policies, the only devs left are shady indie studios, which probably all went bankrupt due to rising interest rates.
At what point do we need to be at before we can just say "anything NFT is some form of scam"?
The "future" looks a lot like the past. Like games crash point past.
We don't need blockchain games, we need good, honest games.
When I first heard about blockchain, my idea was that it would be something for preservation for like say WOW when the servers finally shut down that your character could be preserved with all its achievements, gear, gold, etc and while the game couldn't be played you would always have rights to that toon for all time. And that would go for any game too, like Fallout 3; your game progress would be saved on blockchain for all time. Etc, etc
Nothing I didn't already figure, but it was good to see concrete examples that didn't require me to be the one to sign in, log on, create account ect.
People playing games 10+ years old. the seeds of the future are buried in the past.

"The world is wide open"...and it's doing a GOATSE.
I study game development/design, I learned nothing about crypto or blockchain.
This is the funniest thing I NEVER knew existed!!! Thanks U.E, you made my day!👌
Anti consumer always online drm will spread like wildfire, ultimately killing gaming.
The NFT craze has come and gone with me still not understanding why I should be interested in spending my money on them.
Forty years ago, this would have been very impressive.
Red Chaos is just poorly reskinned Unreal Engine 5 third person shooter presentation scene. Quite literally, all the effects are still there, including even muzzle flashes, fonts, the entire in game UI, everything. The only thing different are character models, gun models, and map.
EDIT: Actually no, on second glance, guns are the same.
Broken servers is definitely a mark of AAA+ game nowadays so at least that part checks out.
They've had 3 or 4 years of serious commitment to getting "blockchain gaming" off the ground and it hasnt (and will not, i dont care if even activision does it). Half of it doesnt work and the other half doesnt make sense or is done better already.
The functional game you found at the end is straight up stolen from a free community made game thats been going for years. They straight up forgot to even change the in game banners and file names. There's a reason you can play it, the blockchain bods had nothing to do with it at all apart from lifting the whole thing and sticking another name on it.
In theory and an ideal world, I definitely believe in the idea of digital items for your games that no one can own or control except you. I'm sure you'd understand especially in the age of companies straight up taking games away from users, shutting down servers for them etc.
In theory and again, ideally, the blockchain solution would help at the very least not lose the items you've worked for in the game. Even if the game is shut down at some point (let's say it's a multiplayer game that requires servers to host matches)
So for that reason, in principle it totally makes sense to me to have these "digital items" not be hosted and controlled by private companies / private servers, but rather on public blockchains (but even then, the biggest ones with the most likelihood of longevity)
But at the moment, it seems like there's almost *only* low-effort / fake games created just to get some ICO fund raises and cash grabs on investors / public. The systems in place also suck in terms of UX/UI, where ideally you'd just need to log-in to your wallet and have the easiest experience, but even at that there's many technical issues, hassles and measures that need to be taken by the user. So not great for your average gamer.
You basically said it. They’re trying to find anyway to legitimize their money spent.
You’ve been on fire recently with some fantastic videos! Thanks as always for your hard work (sounds like a bot ass comment, but as someone that’s been following you for years, I really mean it sincerely!)
fun fact : the last game "Red Chaos" is basically a reskin of Project Lyra which is a starter project made by Epic Games to showcase Unreal Engine 5, they didn't even bother changing most of the fonts or the colour schemes lol
We appreciate your insights. You'll always have our support.
That Red Chaos game is just the Unreal 5 third person template
I hear instead of selling us games they are going to start charging money for each hour you play.
LMAO the ponytail spinning is friggin KILLING ME 🤣
Why have I become very cyclical when it comes to new game development, and why do I generally stick with games that have been out for decades instead of looking to try new ones.
Thank God, there will ALWAYS be a niche.
The only thing I needed to be told to hate blockchain and gaming was that if my account were hacked and my items sold or deleted there is no possible way for the developers to return my account-owned items to me. Those items have now been transferred in our own by someone else and cannot be taken because blockchain.
Btw the last game's map is just a reskin of a map from Sudden Attack called Warehouse. That's probably why it didn't feel bad to play.
The last game is just a reskin of UE5's Lyra starter game, the didn't even bother to change the character death disolve effect even though their models don't work with it.
This is sorcery in the most real sense we can conjure. Creating the SEEMING of something with popular sentiment, synthesizing that seeming into another asset that reifies it, and then absconding with that asset before the vacuum bubble you've left behind collapses and leaves someone else holding the bag.
Modern monetary theory and socialism fall into this practice of real-world sorcery as well.
