They say us gamers don't understand the Metaverse... when the irony is we understand it better than anyone else on Earth. We are acutely aware of the limitations of a virtual world and staking real money on virutal economies, because we've been doing it for _decades._ Seeing everyone crazy about a virtual universe existing on top of our physical one confuses us, because it makes us wonder if they've ever heard of an MMO. Seeing people pay 30k for virtual land confuses us, because we know that people /tp or fast travel to where they want to go and so "location, location, location" becomes meaningless. Seeing "Play to Earn" as good thing confuses us, because we know from experience that P2E gamers are the _parasites_ of our communities: they are our gold farmers, our scammers, our rank boosters! We are not behind the times. *_We've been there before you._* And our answer is *no.*
You hit the nail on the head so hard. I wish this comment were pinned to the top of video. This. This is exactly why all this stuff feels so lame, unearned and predatory. It’s just a worse version of what gamers have already been experiencing for DECADES.
This is the most eloquently-put text I've seen that matches my feelings on NFTs. Can I share your post on multiple discords? If you agree, should I keep your tag visible or hide it?
The fact that companies are still trying to release NFTs even though the internet is sick and tired of it shows how late these companies are to the party
@@HowToChangeName They're not the same thing though. THose are actual companies. This is just some dipshit manchild or teen who has been sniffing his own farts.
"What games will it have?" This is such a basic question. It's so simple, so elementary, so integral to what a game console is, that almost any other pre-launch console holder could tell you this without even thinking about it. And yet they had to dance around this question on Twitter repeatedly.
"Games? Hmmm... 🤔 *_(I never thought I'd get this far...)_* uhh... _Sorry I-... _*_Ill tell you later"_* **Leaves to get crypto milk and never comes back**
This for me perfectly sums up Crypto Bros way of thinking. They talk how revolutionary it is but aren't willing to do any actual work besides marketing something that doesn't exist. When you think about the amount of time, effort, talent and planning went to developing consoles, even failures like the Atari Jaguar or even the Ouya. Then the success that still had their own problems like the 360 with the red ring of death, ps3's notorious developing tools what Gabe Newell called idiotic and the Wii U's marketing. How the fuck would these guys make a console on par with the market leads with alcohol and a few bored apes worth a couple of Etherium.
@@drwilyecoyote5357 Why would he like a word? Because he happened to purchase one of the few NFTs that did transfer ownership of the image? Does not change the fact that George is correct and almost all NFTs don't transfer IP rights.
A lot of NFT's are stolen artwork anyways. Hell, the guy who came up with the idea of NFT's absolutely regrets it now because of how much they've been used for theft and scams.
You know, normally when Nintendo sues someone for making even just a free fan project I get really angry at them, but with this unscrupulous blatant scam, I hope Nintendo sue them out the ass for using the GameCube logo
"PC with a console shell" - to be totally honest, that's already what all modern consoles are. You'll find 90% the same stuff as in a PC, very few custom components and of course a custom OS that is controller- instead of kb&m-focused.
What do you mean, the Poliom is going to be a work of technological brilliance. Why? They must have unlocked cold fusion in order to have so much power in such a tiny machine. My GPU alone is twice the size of the Polium console, and my GPU don't raytrace shit. I will now preorder 1000 Polioms and scalp them, now that people are totally gonna buy this thing and it's totally getting developed. Can't wait to make money!
I love it how they advertise how their controller has a wallet button so you can easily access your wallet in a game. That really inspires confidence the games will be about fun rather than monetization.
Why they thought any "traditional gamer" would be interested in this after they insulted that demographic is beyond me. Good luck selling this to the smallest of minorities that both has invested in crypto and NFTs and still hasn't been burned badly enough because that market is getting smaller every day.
they don't, its entirely aimed as a scam towards a small number of people. I guarantee we will see in the next few days its just a rebranded chinese model at best, but more likely its just a collection of buzz words aimed at driving pre-orders without any intention of selling a product.
@@CrystalWings12 Seriously, it's not hard to come up with an idea that would work with those stupid NFT things. Fighting game power-ups for example or non-visible gear to boost stats. Just use the NFT code to confirm they own that specific thing. It also makes it fairly easy on the developers since they would just need an image and the confirmation.
Regardless, NFTs remain a stupid idea since everything you can possibly think of doing with them has already been done better without the harmful effects of an NFT
@@Hauntaku It still wouldn't work. Any game using NFTs to make anything that can affect gameplay immediately becomes Pay-to-Win. That's the death knell for any game that is trying to get more than 17 players.
The most sus thing about this is that this "company", which names itself "Polium", seems to have gone to great lengths to not reveal _anything_ about themselves. Not even if it's an actual company at all. They have no official website. Well, they have, but it's solely an ad for that supposed console, and it contains zero company information. No copyright notices, no "about us" page, no "contact us" page, nothing. Literally zero information anywhere what kind of "company" this is supposed to be. There's not much more information elsewhere either. All articles about this just refer to some vague "Polium", with zero details about what or who they are. Go to the main website of pretty much any company and, usually on the bottom, you will almost invariably find links to info pages about the company, what they do, how to contact them, legal stuff, copyright notices, and so on and so forth. Not in this case.
Won't be surprised if they just vanish after selling enough of those preorder nfts, it just seems like an elaborate story for an nft collection to make crypto bros get hyped because "omg web 3 gaming console of the future!!!"
Holy shit we've come full circle! First was Gaming Companies trying to get into NFTs and now we have NFTs trying to get into the Video Game market and in both cases its a miserable failure.
These companies see NFT’s and Metaverse’s dying but still try to revive it just so they can get a quick paycheck from suckers, it’s so pathetic, well deserved. Another NFT failure is another smile on mine and many others faces 👍
I'm pretty sure most of these ventured aren't intended to actually be a viable business. Just get a ton of money from guilable VCs maybe some from guilable buyers, hype it all up and hope someone buys the company. If not you can at least pay yourself a big salary with all the investors cash until the company goes bankrupt and move on. Just like most of the web 2.0 companies were.
They would honestly be better off cutting their losses instead of trying to break even. The more they try to make up for what they lost, the more they lose, its a burning money pit.
Not much different from some company trying to keep fossil fuels alive just to get one last squeeze of money out before it come crashing down. Only difference is this will be bad for everbody, while NFT shit is just bad for the company that pushed it.
"Traditional gamers just dont understand how NFT's can improve the gaming landscape" Says a bunch of people who think a console the size of a notebook can run high end games. Might want to learn how video games work at a basic level before you start claiming what can and cant improve them.
Reminds me of that bald guy who defended the insane monetization in Diablo Immortal, said somethin very similiar like "PC gamers don't understand mobile gaming"
Especially when you consider that everything in the Playstation & Xbox is necessary to guarantee the performance for the high-end games. - If Sony or Microsoft can't even make their consoles smaller... how the hell are they going to be able to do that? - Even high-end PCs can't be that tiny under any circumstances. - That's pure bullshit 🤦♂️
What do you mean? This new console will be built on next level 0.1 nanometer cpu process using only 2 watts and a quad gpu built into 1 using only 69 watts capable of running 8k hdr gaming at 360 fps.
they just need a few mobile game rip-offs to run on this crap and they call it "high performance games". Well, if you run the original PONG on a mobile phone it performs greatly. High Performance they say, not High Quality...
When I first saw this, and before I watched the video, I had a thought. On paper, blockchain could be used to give a digital version of game ownership similar to owning physical copies. Basically a transferable game key. That said, it would never work simply because A) they would be eventually "sold out," removing one of the best benefits of digital game sales. B) We'd never be able to trust sellers to provide at a reasonable price due to the unregulated aspect of crypto. C) It would inevitably be prone to the same types of hacks and thefts as current NFT ventures. When I actually watched the video, effing lawl. Crypto Bros be like Tantalus reaching for the (what appears to be) the delicious fruit of the common gaming landscape. It seems like none of these people realize that the grand majority of people don't have the kind of money they do to be throwing around on even safe ventures, let alone risky, scam-laden ones. Even if they somehow succeeded, they'd realize there's nothing there to milk. It's woefully self-contained regardless of our feelings toward it. All they would succeed in doing is locking out people.
The thing is, you don't need the blockchain for a transferable digital key. In the old days of PC software, the CD key was not tied to an account, it was tied to the product. The idea was that the key would go with the disc containing the software so if it was sold on, you would no longer have access to the product. Except keygens and No-CD cracks began emerging, allowing for the generation of valid keys and No-CD cracks meant the physical security of a disc was also negated. So it came to be that even on consoles, keys became single-use, with some games locking out aspects such as multiplayer without the purchase of a new license on the digital store. Then publishers realised they could stifle the second-hand market through these keys, such that most swap shops flatout refuse to take PC games that have a launcher logo on them, the net result being that most PC games released after 2010 are impossible to trade in, their discs increasingly irrelevant as internet speeds grew faster and more stable. A transferable key is entirely possible; launchers simply have databases that mark a game as owned or not and so a transferable key could be made even through something as simple as the trade store, where people can sell their ownership stake in a game to another player, and the launcher delists your own ownership of the game and lists the buyer as the new owner. This already happens when you sell a hat or a skin to another gamer in say CS:GO. The system delists you as the owner, and lists the buyer as the new owner. There is no need for NFT or Blockchain in either example. The means for transferable digital goods has existed since the first in-game marketplace, It doesn't happen for the simple reason that the majority of game developers don't want that to be the case. They get nothing from second-hand sales, so they instead let their games go on sales months after for a short time, where gamers can pay above brick-and-mortar second-hand prices to buy a game for less than retail, but still making more money than they would have made if someone traded it in to a brick-and-mortar store. The big publisher can simply say that if a launcher adds this feature, their games won't be on that launcher any more. And because launchers rely on having the latest and greatest, they don't propose it because no matter what the popular support might be, if 2/3 of the big publishers say, "That's not happening if you want our games", then that launcher rapidly becomes irrelevant. You could argue that an NFT or Blockchain key could be used to purchase a single cross-platform key, but that also doesn't matter. I could log into my War Thunder account on a PC, PS4/5 or whatever XBox is the current one and have access to all the things I've purchased. Even Microsoft has started doing this through their xbox play anywhere titles. The reason most other publishers don't let you do this is simple. If someone have a xbox and a playstation, well if they have it on xbox and want to play with their friends who only have it on PS, they can just buy it again. If the game is relatively new, they might have to purchase at near-full price. If the game is digital only then tough tits, pay full price again. It's not existing technology that prevents resaleable digital goods, it's basic corporate greed.
They have to. To keep NFTs and Crypto alive. Both are built off coming up with new ways to scam people. The new thing is web3. The last new thing was NFTs. Then the next "last thing" with be web3. When they think of something else to overhype as the future of "x".
Because they are indeed not gaming companies, those en ef tee """games""" aren't even games, either, they don't exist to entertain, but to make people gamble, invest and (in theory) earn money
I would personally never spend a dime on it, but if they made some kind of relevant meme game that made me laugh, I'd totally continue to play it for free.
"Our revolutionary console has a wallet and can connect to any of the most popular NFT marketplaces..." "But what about the gaming features?" "Oh, right, those. We'll throw a couple of buttons and gizmos on there, I guess."
Why does it feel like, if you remove all the talk of "community" from NFT projects like this it seems like the creators are saying "We need investors for this idea we had. Also we have no clue what we're actually doing."

@@ahniandfriends123 and the internet bubble actually existed. The NFT bubble doesn’t exist, but every sleazy bastard seeing potential profit wants to convince us it does.
They won't, and if they did they likely wouldn't win. Copyright infringement hinges on the idea that the infringement causes some financial loss for the company with the copyright. Given that GameCubes have been off the market for a long, long time, that obviously isn't the case. They might send a C&D but that would be about it.

How can these "developers" not see the writing on the wall? Interest in NFTs and the metaverse are quickly dying. If they want to waste money and be laughed at by the internet, then so be it.
"Quickly dying" uh..it's already way beyond dead. Outside of easily scammable gullible morons who saw what bitcoin could do and wanted a piece of that pie with the "next best thing" or so they thought, everybody was against this shit from day fucking one. It's all just FOMO bullshit.

What a bold strategy to name a "console" after Poliomyelitis (or polio for short). Although it's honest about how good it can be, and that you should vaccinate against it.
Yeah I was thinking it's apropos they called it polio because it's going to hobble along arthritically, collapse and fall on its face and eventually die before maturity
"We were able to get all of the components into a box of that size, unfortunately that didn't leave room for airflow. So within 6 seconds of being turned on, our gaming platform will do what no other manufacturer is brave enough to do: it will burst into flames."
It feels like both games and scams have really been leaning on roadmaps lately to give lip service to those who are concerned about lack of progress. Half the time roadmaps end up just confirming fears that content is coming way too slowly or in fact doesn't exist.
Every ten years since the 1980s they have tried to make virtual reality a thing. At some point, they have to accept that we aren't interested in it than more than just an occasional novelty. I am still very impressed that FB was able to rope in our aunts and high school bullies but they are never getting those people to put on a VR helmet.
NFTs are already a sign you want to make money without any effort. Ripping off a logo is also a sign of just that. I didn't think it was possible to brand yourself two completely different ways and yet have both compliment each other in the worst way possible perfectly. 5:57 They'll be lucky if they sell 100, let alone 1 million.

Haha, the fingerprint scan controller. If there's someone in my living room touching my console without my permission I have more immediate security concerns than whether they'll be able to login into my console.
It's one of those, this isn't really a problem that needs a solution, solutions. Like having an alarm for your bedroom closet that only works when you're in the room.
The fact that they outright admit that current Web 3 games, that are part of their upcoming library of games "aren't fun to play" just tells you all that you need to know. I want this to succeed just barely so that when it inevitably fails, there'll at least be a really entertaining trash fire that we'll be able to observe in real time.
How ironic. This company will find itself bankrupt soon. Make a consoles STRICTLY NFTs and the Metaverse while "steal" a logo for your own. If this is really the future of gaming, then i hope we suffer another game crash!
They aren't making or selling the console. The fact that it can be pre-ordered already is very telling that it's a scam and that there will be no console.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 They have zero footage of any games running or even a trailer for the console itself. It's obviously a scam since they didn't even go into detail about the specs.
@@DJ_POOP_IT_OUT_FEAT_LIL_WiiWii Is that your version of a joke? It's hard to tell if you're trying to be funny (and failing) or if you're a cryptochud
I like how there's separately mentioned that you can play games on it... OH BOY, I CAN PLAY GAMES ON MY GAME CONSOLE!! WOOOOO!! _Flies into the sunset aboard hype train at the speed of light and explodes*_
Well as despicable as it is to rip off the logo, you have to at least give them credit for knowing that the GameCube is still the best console ever made. Also, this is going to fail spectacularly.
How do they imagine they will sell this thing? They won't convince any store to sell them in any quantity that would make it a success, especially since shipping them to third party stores is a huge investment, and anyone who cares even slightly about games in the first place, will avoid their website like the plague! They are literally trying to sell a product that no one wants, to people who don't want it, in a place people avoid... They are pretty much trying to sell sand in Sahara, and their target audience is Anakin Skywalker!
As someone who’s love of video games was kickstarted by my parents getting me and my brothers a GameCube when we were little kids, to hear that NFTs are taking its logo and using it like this is….IRRITATING, to say the least.
There's gonna be some teeny tiny PCB in there that makes the first version of the Raspberry Pi look like a supercomputer. If it even gets built at all.
Something you missed: their prototype "dashboard" contains stolen artwork from various existing mobile and social games, such as Crayta by Meta (aka Facebook)
If there is one good thing about this circus, then it is that it fully revealed just how out of touch these companies are with their customers. Everyone is against it, but they still push ahead because they see the possible dollar signs in the future and think they can just shove it down everyones throats by investing money. They deserve to fail because they refuse to learn from their mistakes.
Polium, be honest, you're taking pre-orders just so you can ACTUALLY BUILD the damn thing, aren't you? You're better off saving the money for an attorney.
The ad video: An elderly woman looking at flowers with a forlorn expression, somber music. The cloudy sky opens to have sunlight shining down on a field.

I like how your archetypical gamer look with the headset and chair gets emphasized more and more over the years as the absolute unit of a pile of gaming treasures behind you keep growing like Smaug's pile of gold. These figures also remind us of your journey and old videos. For me, the most nostalgic is your MGS:V theory videos before it came out and Death Stranding too. Keep on keeping on.
We have: _"FBI OPEN UP!"*_ but now we have...: *_"NINTENDO NINJA'S COMING DOWN"_* Press "N" to reject NFT's Press "F" to pay respects to NFT's *_Press "T" to T-pose_*
And they pretend it's going to come out in 2024? While the thing is still in prototyping? Holy shit. They have no idea, not the absolute idea, of how dev times in gaming go.
To tell the truth, I like people and companies doing these big ideas/concepts full of greed with no benefits for the consumers, and attracting a lot of investment with a ton of money, and it not working at all. Makes me warm inside when this corporate greed ends up slapping them hard in the face and they lose basically all their investment in it.
Even the gamepad image is basically DualShock 4 with swapped buttons and a flat surface instead of a touchpad! Heck, even the speaker and charger holes are freaking same.
I'm pretty sure the "custom hardware" is some kind of Tegra chip. So, basically Switch performance. Which is a sad joke now - I don't want to see the kind of games it's supposed to run in three years when the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series XX(X)? come around. :)
And who in their right mind would play EVE Online on a potato to begin with not to mention if the wallet button thing is true people would be accidentally wasting their money on PLEX every single time they touched that button by accident
Yeah, there are little clues here and there that points to the fact that the people behind this scam aren't even very knowledgeable about tech. They are only using general buzzwords or terms that everyday people might only have the slightest idea of, but have at least heard before
The funniest interaction I’ve had with an NFT Bro was when Valve did the most awesome thing and banned NFT Games from Steam, and they said “Steam will be dead within 3 Years”. After I let them know that wouldn’t happen, they _actually_ tagged the Remind Me bot and set it up for 3 years. This was like a year or two ago, I forget. Steam is still going as strong as ever.

The last time a new contender entered the home consol market, and is sucessfull to this day, was Microsoft with the Xbox in november 2002, nearely twenty years ago; and it took all the might of a multi billion dollar company to make it stick. Beside the big 3, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, everything else since has failed miserably, even google couldn't make it work with Stadia. So no, you are not making a new world beating consol with NFT, or crypto, or crowdfunding.
@@IndianTelephone It's not a home console it the sense that it doesn't have a dedicated library of games specially developped for it. Instead it runs PC games. There are tablets that plays PC games and phones that plays android/iapps, but those are not standandarzed hardware. A game consol to thrive must have exclusive games designed to play on their specific plateform, trough performance optimisation the sony and xbox way, or hardware gimmicks like nintendo.
That's what I'm thinking all the times, too. Stadia was in theory an interresting concept, but at the end, even Google with their litreally unlimited ressources failed. So a group of fellas deciding to make a console while being drunk on a friday night truly think, they have any chance to do better?
@@IndianTelephone Google Stadia primarily failed because they refused to try harder to make it work. There's no way cryptochuds will even try to make a console when they can just vanish with the money.
I read this as "Polonium" and was wondering why the FSB was getting pretty elaborate with their assassination attempts....starting up an entire game company is convoluted.
No no no, it is all part of the greater plan my friend. But shush don't let them know that we know and never forget your aluminum helmet. Thanks for making me laugh.
I remember when we joked about how EA will release a controller that you can use to pay with your credit card during gameplay... And these guys just went and created it...
Hardly surprising that the first instinct of a company making a NFT/Metaverse console is to steal somebody else's work.

Well, NFTs are lazy ways to make money. Ripoffs are also lazy ways to make money. They're literally perfect for each other.

Why they thought any "traditional gamer" would be interested in this after they insulted that demographic is beyond me. Good luck selling this to the smallest of minorities that both has invested in crypto and NFTs and still hasn't been burned badly enough because that market is getting smaller every day.
they don't, its entirely aimed as a scam towards a small number of people. I guarantee we will see in the next few days its just a rebranded chinese model at best, but more likely its just a collection of buzz words aimed at driving pre-orders without any intention of selling a product.
Even those cryptobros are only interested in making quick buck instead understanding how to make a genuinely good game. What a loser.
@@CrystalWings12 Seriously, it's not hard to come up with an idea that would work with those stupid NFT things. Fighting game power-ups for example or non-visible gear to boost stats. Just use the NFT code to confirm they own that specific thing. It also makes it fairly easy on the developers since they would just need an image and the confirmation.
Regardless, NFTs remain a stupid idea since everything you can possibly think of doing with them has already been done better without the harmful effects of an NFT
@@Hauntaku It still wouldn't work. Any game using NFTs to make anything that can affect gameplay immediately becomes Pay-to-Win. That's the death knell for any game that is trying to get more than 17 players.
The most sus thing about this is that this "company", which names itself "Polium", seems to have gone to great lengths to not reveal _anything_ about themselves. Not even if it's an actual company at all. They have no official website. Well, they have, but it's solely an ad for that supposed console, and it contains zero company information. No copyright notices, no "about us" page, no "contact us" page, nothing. Literally zero information anywhere what kind of "company" this is supposed to be. There's not much more information elsewhere either. All articles about this just refer to some vague "Polium", with zero details about what or who they are.
Go to the main website of pretty much any company and, usually on the bottom, you will almost invariably find links to info pages about the company, what they do, how to contact them, legal stuff, copyright notices, and so on and so forth. Not in this case.
Won't be surprised if they just vanish after selling enough of those preorder nfts, it just seems like an elaborate story for an nft collection to make crypto bros get hyped because "omg web 3 gaming console of the future!!!"
A ghost company. How very suspicious...
Plot twist: there's no console. They'll just sell an nft of that image of the console.
Holy shit we've come full circle! First was Gaming Companies trying to get into NFTs and now we have NFTs trying to get into the Video Game market and in both cases its a miserable failure.
It's like watching a train wreck and then another train joins the disaster
This is the only use of the phrase "full circle" I've ever liked.
So far both succeed in making joke for everyone to enjoy
These companies see NFT’s and Metaverse’s dying but still try to revive it just so they can get a quick paycheck from suckers, it’s so pathetic, well deserved. Another NFT failure is another smile on mine and many others faces 👍
What's hilarious is they're literally losing millions of invested dollars by continuing to pursue NFT ideas.
I'm pretty sure most of these ventured aren't intended to actually be a viable business. Just get a ton of money from guilable VCs maybe some from guilable buyers, hype it all up and hope someone buys the company.
If not you can at least pay yourself a big salary with all the investors cash until the company goes bankrupt and move on.
Just like most of the web 2.0 companies were.
They would honestly be better off cutting their losses instead of trying to break even. The more they try to make up for what they lost, the more they lose, its a burning money pit.
Not much different from some company trying to keep fossil fuels alive just to get one last squeeze of money out before it come crashing down.
Only difference is this will be bad for everbody, while NFT shit is just bad for the company that pushed it.
@@101Mant Pretty much. Crypto/NFTs has been the new space for Kickstarter scams for some time now.
"Traditional gamers just dont understand how NFT's can improve the gaming landscape"
Says a bunch of people who think a console the size of a notebook can run high end games. Might want to learn how video games work at a basic level before you start claiming what can and cant improve them.
Reminds me of that bald guy who defended the insane monetization in Diablo Immortal, said somethin very similiar like "PC gamers don't understand mobile gaming"
Especially when you consider that everything in the Playstation & Xbox is necessary to guarantee the performance for the high-end games. - If Sony or Microsoft can't even make their consoles smaller... how the hell are they going to be able to do that? - Even high-end PCs can't be that tiny under any circumstances. - That's pure bullshit 🤦♂️
What do you mean? This new console will be built on next level 0.1 nanometer cpu process using only 2 watts and a quad gpu built into 1 using only 69 watts capable of running 8k hdr gaming at 360 fps.
More like a console the size of a controller case 😂
they just need a few mobile game rip-offs to run on this crap and they call it "high performance games". Well, if you run the original PONG on a mobile phone it performs greatly. High Performance they say, not High Quality...

-JRR Tolkien
The theme of the bast 2-3 years...
When I first saw this, and before I watched the video, I had a thought. On paper, blockchain could be used to give a digital version of game ownership similar to owning physical copies. Basically a transferable game key. That said, it would never work simply because A) they would be eventually "sold out," removing one of the best benefits of digital game sales. B) We'd never be able to trust sellers to provide at a reasonable price due to the unregulated aspect of crypto. C) It would inevitably be prone to the same types of hacks and thefts as current NFT ventures.
When I actually watched the video, effing lawl. Crypto Bros be like Tantalus reaching for the (what appears to be) the delicious fruit of the common gaming landscape. It seems like none of these people realize that the grand majority of people don't have the kind of money they do to be throwing around on even safe ventures, let alone risky, scam-laden ones. Even if they somehow succeeded, they'd realize there's nothing there to milk. It's woefully self-contained regardless of our feelings toward it. All they would succeed in doing is locking out people.
The thing is, you don't need the blockchain for a transferable digital key. In the old days of PC software, the CD key was not tied to an account, it was tied to the product. The idea was that the key would go with the disc containing the software so if it was sold on, you would no longer have access to the product.
Except keygens and No-CD cracks began emerging, allowing for the generation of valid keys and No-CD cracks meant the physical security of a disc was also negated.
So it came to be that even on consoles, keys became single-use, with some games locking out aspects such as multiplayer without the purchase of a new license on the digital store. Then publishers realised they could stifle the second-hand market through these keys, such that most swap shops flatout refuse to take PC games that have a launcher logo on them, the net result being that most PC games released after 2010 are impossible to trade in, their discs increasingly irrelevant as internet speeds grew faster and more stable.
A transferable key is entirely possible; launchers simply have databases that mark a game as owned or not and so a transferable key could be made even through something as simple as the trade store, where people can sell their ownership stake in a game to another player, and the launcher delists your own ownership of the game and lists the buyer as the new owner. This already happens when you sell a hat or a skin to another gamer in say CS:GO. The system delists you as the owner, and lists the buyer as the new owner. There is no need for NFT or Blockchain in either example.
The means for transferable digital goods has existed since the first in-game marketplace, It doesn't happen for the simple reason that the majority of game developers don't want that to be the case. They get nothing from second-hand sales, so they instead let their games go on sales months after for a short time, where gamers can pay above brick-and-mortar second-hand prices to buy a game for less than retail, but still making more money than they would have made if someone traded it in to a brick-and-mortar store.
The big publisher can simply say that if a launcher adds this feature, their games won't be on that launcher any more. And because launchers rely on having the latest and greatest, they don't propose it because no matter what the popular support might be, if 2/3 of the big publishers say, "That's not happening if you want our games", then that launcher rapidly becomes irrelevant.
You could argue that an NFT or Blockchain key could be used to purchase a single cross-platform key, but that also doesn't matter. I could log into my War Thunder account on a PC, PS4/5 or whatever XBox is the current one and have access to all the things I've purchased.
Even Microsoft has started doing this through their xbox play anywhere titles. The reason most other publishers don't let you do this is simple. If someone have a xbox and a playstation, well if they have it on xbox and want to play with their friends who only have it on PS, they can just buy it again. If the game is relatively new, they might have to purchase at near-full price. If the game is digital only then tough tits, pay full price again.
It's not existing technology that prevents resaleable digital goods, it's basic corporate greed.

I guarantee you, people losing money by accidentally pressing the wallet button is something the developers desperately hope will happen
The console mockup has USB-A when the controller has USB-C. Very good attention to detail there.
Yeah, there are little clues here and there that points to the fact that the people behind this scam aren't even very knowledgeable about tech. They are only using general buzzwords or terms that everyday people might only have the slightest idea of, but have at least heard before
Their timeline summed up: Step 1. Underpants... Step 2. .......... Step 3. Profit!
I already hate that digital and digital-only games exist as something you can't actually own and pass down. NFTs just expands the scam.
The funniest interaction I’ve had with an NFT Bro was when Valve did the most awesome thing and banned NFT Games from Steam, and they said “Steam will be dead within 3 Years”.
After I let them know that wouldn’t happen, they _actually_ tagged the Remind Me bot and set it up for 3 years.
This was like a year or two ago, I forget. Steam is still going as strong as ever. I can’t wait for the Bot to activate.
It should have been three years, did it ever activate?
@@bracken8782 Musky killed bots between now and then, so sadly no response lol.
I forgot about this honestly lol, but regardless, Steam is Still Alive.
@@bracken8782 Update: I checked. The Reminder is a little over a month away from activating, IF the bot is still alive. If it survived the purge, we have a funny moment.
Either these companies had plans to push this meta crap no matter what or they are just delusional at this point. No one is honoring this stuff anymore!
"It can run games built on different blockchains..." and instantly turned off in the first paragraph of their statement.
they should've call it the twoya
Does it come with credit card swiper controller? You know, like those you can find in any store?
A wallet button? Finally, a console that's optimal for playing EA games!
So true lmao! 😆😆😆
And Activision-Blizzard games. Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4 will be GREAT on it!
The last time a new contender entered the home consol market, and is sucessfull to this day, was Microsoft with the Xbox in november 2002, nearely twenty years ago; and it took all the might of a multi billion dollar company to make it stick. Beside the big 3, Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, everything else since has failed miserably, even google couldn't make it work with Stadia.
So no, you are not making a new world beating consol with NFT, or crypto, or crowdfunding.
Hey hey, what about the steam deck?
@@IndianTelephone It's not a home console it the sense that it doesn't have a dedicated library of games specially developped for it. Instead it runs PC games. There are tablets that plays PC games and phones that plays android/iapps, but those are not standandarzed hardware. A game consol to thrive must have exclusive games designed to play on their specific plateform, trough performance optimisation the sony and xbox way, or hardware gimmicks like nintendo.
That's what I'm thinking all the times, too. Stadia was in theory an interresting concept, but at the end, even Google with their litreally unlimited ressources failed. So a group of fellas deciding to make a console while being drunk on a friday night truly think, they have any chance to do better?
@@bam3xs Well Google failed just like Microsoft did, with windows phones. Just creating a new thing isnt enough, you have to get behind it properly
@@IndianTelephone Google Stadia primarily failed because they refused to try harder to make it work. There's no way cryptochuds will even try to make a console when they can just vanish with the money.
I read this as "Polonium" and was wondering why the FSB was getting pretty elaborate with their assassination attempts....starting up an entire game company is convoluted.
No no no, it is all part of the greater plan my friend.
But shush don't let them know that we know and never forget your aluminum helmet.
Thanks for making me laugh.
If they plan their launch party in Salisbury then we'll know why.
Don't drink any funny coffee.
Good to know that their new 2022 console isn't limited to assembly like the consoles released prior to 1990
I remember when we joked about how EA will release a controller that you can use to pay with your credit card during gameplay...
And these guys just went and created it...
I'm so encouraged to see the internet just clowning all over these NFT bros.
