    Hardly surprising that the first instinct of a company making a NFT/Metaverse console is to steal somebody else's work.

    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.*

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @XandreUK
      @XandreUK 2 года назад +4

      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.

It closes out with a closeup of her smiling at dinner in a restraunt with an elderly man sitting across from her. Cue the legal fast talk.

    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.
