The more I'm seeing these articles the more and more I take solace in nostalgia gaming. I kid you not, replaying old games from my childhood is a heck of a lot more fun compared to playing the newest "live-service" crap that they're serving us today
There is a lot of solid single player games every few months or so. In both indie and triple AAA. Just stop paying attention too much with Activision, Ubisoft, and EA ,and you got yourself a lot of great games for days!
@@jeremyroberts8822 how do you know they are "great" if they haven't come out yet? Y'all out too much blind faith in anyone for a small amount of hopium.
Are we just gonna ignore all the indie devs that are staying strong and releasing high quality games that aren’t out to get your money but to give you a memorable experience
People tend to forget they exist since they don’t have the advertising power and the number of gamers especially “hard core ones” are smaller than we would like to admit
Yes, we are. I am too busy playing my childhood games modded so I do not really care about new games. Although I still buy games from time to time (like Slay the Spire, which is a great indie game). All the "triple A" games I am buying is like 3 years after release, when they are finally finished patching and on sale for 20 bucks.
Let me tell you of a little known phenomena in the tech industry. There are companies like this that literally operate on hype, generate investor money, and then fade into the night. I used to love working for these kinds of companies because a) They pay above the median and b) nobody really knows what they are doing or gives a fuck. A lot of promises are made even though they are impossible to deliver, but only us devs really know that. Investors, even those who apparently "Specialise in Tech" don't know shit about tech really. They have just had some success with Tech investments and now they think they are an expert. So basically the whole company is a ruse to run on investor money knowing full-well that it will never be a going concern. I even worked for companies where they actually were pretty open about this. I was told "Get out of this company what you can in terms of experience because we won't be here for the long haul". Another company allowed me to create my own job title. Clearly what they are doing is working. They have generated buzz with a fake mockup. This will translate into investor money, even with all the negativity as long as they spin it as gamer's unwilling to embrace the future, and whether they can paint themselves as the Elon musk's of gaming.
I've made a similar expirience 22 years ago. I've worked with an internet and telcom provider at that time. They've used a "new" technology for the delivery of their services to the customers. In matter fact they just wasted the investors money on senseless projects and too much employees. When I understood that the company is only going to be successfull as a scam, I left. Three month later the company was broke. Because after the internet bubble broke, the investors refused to spend more money into this venture.
Yeah. Any console that can't show any games is not worth watching. Even consoles made by big name brands like Sony or Microsoft are not taken seriously until they can show games. Implying that it's up to the community to build the library shows that the console (and the company behind it) are just lazy shysters trying to make a quick buck on gullible idiots. I mean, it's not like it's a new thing either. Ouya also wanted to let the community build its library. And look where Ouya is now.
Idk fam, it may not be over yet. There are still arcade games floating around and pinball tables in peoples houses. It may just become that a PS5 or Xbox will be considered “old school”.
"People can't be this stupid by themselves." Amongold is like the Simgund Freud of idiots and internet needs. That's honestly the smartest thing I've heard in a while
These people aren’t borderline insane, they’re borderline criminal. And that’s just another reason Asmon should keep reaching out to reasonable politicians in order to ban this kind of predatory practice. Sure theres a lotta stupid gamers, but most importantly, there’s a lotta extremely stupid gamers who are putting our pass-time in danger and they should be shamed to the end of it all. When “people” call you toxic for having standards and trying to prevent a darker future of gaming, just stomp on their argument with both legendary boots. It’s disgusting and there should always be a distinction between gamer and “mobile gamer.” These drones are the end of quality games.
I'm with you them being borderline criminal. Also I blame investors in general, they get stupider by the day in pursuit of "Passive Income" or other dumb buzzwords and forget what value is or how to define it. Always looking for some smooth talker to tell them it should be.
It's not the company, it's the vastly retarded audience who makes this happen. Keeps paying, keeps playing, keeps complaining. Like fucking heroin junkies with an IQ of negative 5.
I don't think we even need reasonable politicians at this point. Just find fucking anybody that possesses a pulse and a vote in the senate or the house.
Granted, I've been to design college and stuff, but coming up with an original logo takes like one afternoon at best. Also the odds of coming up with that and it just happening to be the same as another games console is ridiculous. Edit; also I find it crazy that the older you get you realise more and more that the world is run and full of complete morons.
Like as soon as I saw it I just wondered why they didn't do the outside line with chain links. Cus like, block chain. I don't think ppl would have been as fast to call it plagiarism then
I've been in IT for over 15 years. The average consumer won't buy something if they don't understand it. You can convince parents to get onboard with trending things if you can convince them it's a toy. That's about it. You can't convince someone they need something until something they enjoy/use daily is broken. Natural upgrades to staples also make sense to the average Joe. My Dad didn't want a smartphone until he seen all his old friends were on FB. Now he posts cat pictures and completed color by numbers. NFTs and Web3 is a downgrade to already established systems and hardware. You'd be hard pressed to get anyone but edgey 20-somethings and teens, but even that is harder, because the average attention span is getting much worse.
I agree, if I play a game i like I could play all day with no issues 5 years ago, now a days I can play a game i really like for 6 hours before i log off and play something else
The nft market literally feeds on the average person not knowing about it. Fortune favors the bold mentality and the idea of im entering a new market is enticing. Also even though the first movers made millions you being the 2nd wave should at least make 100k. That is why people bum rush nfts
Can you elaborate on how it's a downgrade? From what I can see it's close to vr/metaverse/etc as a gimmick. It has potential to be cool but everyone who's getting into only care about how to make money.
@@eddyspreciouslittlelife because if you want to make a interactive space in vr we already have vr chat. Making a psuedo game with mediocre games is pointless since they aren't breaking through in graphics or physic engine.
This is why I enjoy watching Asmon and his reactions. He really summarizes, describes clearly and even gives a more in-depth breakdown if you will of the topic than you may have gotten from the original video.
This is never gonna succeed. They’re still on the shiny CGI phase, that’s the part where most of these console projects die. Even if the project gets on the market it’s just another Ouya
One remark on why people do this: it's not just because they want a get rich quick scheme. It's because they feel that hard work no longer doesn't get them anywhere anymore, where well above average jobs still won't let them own a decent house in the city they work in, it's because they feel they need to win a lottery because the only people getting ahead are the ones either with rich parents, or those who won on of those investment lotteries. Working hard no longer gets you anywhere, and that's a shame on its own and probably the real key to this issue. People are desperate.
yup. any and all nurses get paid the same per hour here, regardless of if you are working in the capital's private hospital, or in the health center in bumfuck-nowhere. You get about 1400 after the month ends, even if you have 454 years of experience, while a 2 yr experience guy can start getting more if hes in tech.
I miss when gaming was something few people took seriously, now it's become mainstream and companies are trying to wring the most out of their players as they can.
The wallet is where your nfts are stored. Nfts in the gaming world could be in-game currency, gear, mounts and so on. It's where your items are stored.

@@matthewyoho5422 All big tech is already on board with blockchain gaming being the future. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, all of them. No one is dismissing the blockchain, my friend. You are dreaming. You will be sat here confused and angry, while these companies, shareholders, and tokenholders make trillions upon trillions of dollars. You thought anything else was reality? haha.
The issue with people seeing trades and hands on work as lesser than office jobs has existed since like forever, where schools have conditioned every new generation into thinking that to be successful you have to be a scientist, doctor, lawyer or researcher. And I have always said that schools need to stop selling students a dream that they cannot achieve but instead nurture their talents to be the best at what they can be. Its the same thing with career paths and this dream of having to go to college or ivy league for the prestige, connections and quality of education. I think some of the educators themselves are blind to what they are actually doing and destroying the futures of many.
The reason why the old days of gaming was fun was because it was all focus on fun. Now a days everything is focus on how to take peoples money. How to to make players get into spending money. Make the game playable but the need to spend money at the front. Game Company's on run by CEOs and not Gamers anymore.
hot take: gaming was never so much fun as today! there is an unplayable amount of games for every genre that are sold with just a single price and insanely good mechanics. gaming is just mainstream now, it´s the same with music and movies. mass market products need to be average. Better play games made by and for gamers, not by investors.
Yeah, I mean gaming in general is entirely different now. If you're stuck, first thing people do is google solutions. Look up how to get the strongest weapon, what's the strongest class even for single player games, etc.
"The reason why the old days of gaming was fun was because it was all focus on fun." No, it wasn't. It was also about making money. Like, duh. Every gaming company ever has had the main goal of making a profit. This is the stupid kind of stuff that nostalgic people say to make the past seem better when it wasn't. You all stay stuck in the past because you are all hyper-aware geniuses that can see how CORRUPT the evil CEOs are now! You're all too cynical for your own good. Asmongold, Yong Yea, everyone here. You all see a boogeyman that doesn't exist and it's painful to watch. Good luck dealing with the inevitable future of Web 3 and blockchain gaming.
On the religious aspect, I went to college with a severe doubt in my religion (force fed Christianity for 17 years). I took an Archeology course. You can connect the dots. I told my parents I'm out, and they forced me to have a sit down with my pastor in order to convert me back at a Culver's of all places. He told me that Satan put those dinosaur bones in the ground just to confuse me and stray me from the path. I almost choked on my butter burger. He was 100% serious.
That's fair, and I won't try to undermine what you're saying but I'd like to point out dinosaurs bones doesn't disprove anything. I've studied archaeology at the Israel university and there's a lot of archaeological evidence for a lot of the things the the Torah describes. I think this goes even into the new testament there's discoveries. Anyway I digress, there's a lot of people who don't understand what they believe, I wouldn't take what this priest said or tried to convince you of seriously. You may have concluded that there is no G-d but my friend there is a G-d and I won't try to convince you but don't stop searching for answers. Hope the butter burger was good 😂
In my church they actively discouraged kids from going to university because we learn "demonic knowledge" there. "Its full of different people with different religions and experience!" they warned. Luckily this is a church with a huge number of "upper crust" folks who made their kids study 30 hours a day to get into that band name college so luckily nobody listened to him. Naturally we all never went back imagine being told we shouldn't learn things like if your religion can't stand up to some basic 1st year knowledge then I don't want it.

“We used to have to be in the same room, using the same tv split into four little screens to play games with character models that look like they were mangled by a polygon machine.”
I’ve said it plenty of times but if this shit becomes the future of gaming I’ll quit forever, and I know I’m not alone. This hypermonetizing is ridiculous
AAA has been dead for years. It's just rehashing of the same franchises and hopping on trends that indie games set. That's were the real gaming industry is.
@@SneakySnorunt sony exclusives are triple aaa and are known for being the best of the best quality, so idk about that resident evil is still going crazy strong, final fantasy is going to be good again, theres more than enough publishers studios and frtanchises that are better than older games, u just look the wrong way sorry thats the reality
it is without a doubt the future of "AAA" but I think we will always have indie studios who are still passionate about the games they are making making games that are fun and fulfilling experiences without trying to bankrupt you.
"We guarantee a quality experience because you buy our product, quality approved by us, using a currency we control. We quarantee your privacy will be protected and we guarantee this by having a fingerprint scanner in our controller." "That is the Michael Scott guarantee. We guarantee it."
I worked as an electrician for a few years before becoming a software engineer. I highly recommend people learn a trade, even if they ultimately wish for a desk job.
Well, i think we will always have indie games, the good part of gaming is that, in theory you don't need a big budget and a massive team like in a movie or series, just a person, a computer and an idea. I'm not saying that making games are easier, but the tools to make it possible to do one, are much more easier to obtain than in other medias. More easier than that would be just writing a book.
If you want an indie game that can do anything more than scraps in 5 years, you need a team and the budget starts at 80k a year. The issue with software is the people you hire are your product, and they are expensive. Artists however, are cheap. Most feel like they shouldnt be paid, so are easily exploited into min wage.
Also, the best ideas come from non-software engineers, often. Those people cant make a functioning game in a reasonable amount of time if their life depended on it unless they have so much experience it doesnt matter.
WEB 3 GAMES WILL ALWAYS FAIL DUE TO THE GAS PRICE (YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERY TRANSTION YOU MAKE) AND NOT BECAUSE ITS A SCAM. CRYPTO IS FOR PEOPLE WITH MONEY TO BURN.
Asmon, it was refreshing to hear a successful YooTuber like yourself actual promoting the virtues of blue collar trade jobs. You were completely right when you made the statement along the lines of "The current American dream is to have the most success without doing anything at all". I work in the energy sector, I make 6 figures, but it's hard work, long hours, and I travel roughly 1/3-1/2 the year. The money is great, but the "field" of employees is DOMINANTLY OLD. Very few new/young bloods seek employment in an industry thats 1-essential, 2-pays well, 3-is extremely hard work. What i do isn't rocket science, but kids are taught "College or your a bum" mindset, which is just a travesty!
Funny thing is their SDK is set to release in 2023 that according to their whitepaper "If a Developer wants to publish their Game onto the Polium Store they will have to use the SDK, which will consist of tools that will make the Game optimized for the console. The SDK will be available before the console is released. " This means they only got a year to start/finish their game before the console launches in 2024 with....probably zero games.... They also have a new logo now
" To get rich, doing nothing... and to believe that you earned it. " Rarely have I heard anything so succinctly put. A nugget of wisdom that might be a bit tough to swallow for some but is also (if you'll pardon the pun) pure gold.😉

Companies: NFT Gaming is nonsense Indie Devs: Here's our first NFT gaming console, it has a wallet button! Companies: Maybe this NFT Gaming shit isn't such a bad idea...
Actually, there has been a console that took pre-orders when it wasn't even close to being finished. It's still not finished, and now they can't pay back people's pre-order money. It's called the Intellivision Amico.
at this point i wouldnt be surprised if NFT's were actually a project from a lot of big companys to see how far they can get with extorting people with close to no investment. while at the same time avoiding any dirt on their names ;)
Here's the problem with nearly all crowd-funded tech: a general audience doesn't know to ask the important question of "why are you the right team to develop this?" We see this problem pan out all the time. People over-promise things, keep adding delays and justifying those delays with the excuse of adding extra content while never delivering a full product. It's not that every single one is a scam, it's that some people don't ask themselves this question before starting their gofundme.
u need a huge monopoly to actually get that thru in the west. else people will always prefer games that are not pay to win. we can see it happening rn so its hard to argue against that
@@royalecrafts6252 dreamwalker. see the numbers in relation and u notice that this all a big joke. it wont happen. people dont play games to get reminded that most of them have no money...
Another thing about skilled labor is that you save yourself money. I have a friend who's an electrician and when he was having his house built he did all the electrical work himself and it saved him SO much money. My cousin put in heated floors in my mom's bathroom. My grandpa ran a mechanic shop with his brother. I've had the same 2001 Ford Taurus for years and it drives like a dream at almost 150k miles. Skilled labor is highly underestimated in the benefit it provides to your everyday life.
Been playing classics like Chrono Trigger and Link to the Past recently. I suspect that it may be a way of life going forward. Many retrogames to emulate on many consoles.
I would love to just give these people access to my bank account so they can take my money whenever they need it, instead of having an ugly "wallet" button on my controller.
Jobs involving physical labors are literally the corner stone of our entire modern society and it will forever baffle me that people who 1. believe foods grows in a supermarket and 2. Can't for their life even fix a lightbulb in their fancy big house. Looks down at those workers.
This will probably fly under the radar but I'm very physically disabled and wish I could do a "menial job" cause they pay so much. One of the dumbest arguments I've heard against it is you'll never be happy doing that kind job.
can you guys stop bashing on the guys who designed this project? It's probably one of the best high school projects I've ever seen. Seriously, their parents, teachers and themselves especially, should be very proud of this Polium One. Good on ya guys!!
I can see this be successful. I already lost my faith in gamers the moment they started to believe that Visuals and Narrative is more important in a GAME then GAMEplay.
I'd say narrative is just as intrinsic to a game than gameplay... I agree with you in the visual department tho, there's no reason for it to be soooo relevant
@@l0kk016 We play video games to PLAY games, not listen/watch them. So no, it isn't just as intrinsic. The fact that games WITHOUT a narrative are the most popular/played games in the world should tell you something. Narrative is just as optional as a heavy focus on visuals.
@@piggysteelheart5403 Nope, but your ability to read sure is. I'm calling visuals and narrative unimportant compared to gameplay. I'm not calling it bad...it just shouldn't be a focus/priority over gameplay.
I liked his spiel at the end about working a trade. It's nothing I didn't know, but it's rare to see people in this type of community say anything about it. And people do need to hear it!
I'd be way more supportive if they weren't integrating wallet and using fingerprint scanners. If they were only making a console for NFT games, fine, do it. More power to you. As it is, this is a console made to steal your personal information, possibly your wallet with NFTs/Coins too.
The future of gaming is boardgames. Everyone I know who’s a gamer has switched to physical board games. Not collectible war hammer and stuff like that. But a singular board game that you buy and that’s it, no additional cost. And when you’re done with it you can sell to someone else.
Yooo check out "Gloomhaven". A solid RPG with fun mechanics that make you think your moves ahead, with so many campaigns and you don't need a DM. It can even be played solo but +1 or 2 is the most fun.
I remember when I watched this vid I had smoked some weed before and it was ultra laced or something was wrong with it because I started tripping really badly (that never happened before at all). In the background was Asmon talking about Fingerprint Scanners on Controllers while I was pressing the PS button on my Playstation controller to shut off the console because I was super overwhelmed. And as I press the button and he says "Fingerprint Scanner" it triggered some sort of drug-induced psychosis or something making me think he was kinda talking to me directly. that took me into the holy shittest trip one can imagine. I tripped for like 20 minutes and I even broke stuff in my room. it was scary as fuck man. I have no idea what happened but this video will always remind me of that.
Not only these games are going to be terrible "gaming wise", they will be designed to be predatory and bleed every single cent they can from you. No, thanks.
asmongold has never heard of 'unintended consequences' he mentions seat belt laws, saved lives.. of people in cars, but pedestrian deaths went up because people now feel 'safe to drive fast' he doesn't understand 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' government using force will always have a negative effect
How is that suppose to drive people to accelerate into crashing into pedestrians, it's like saying cyclists wearing helmets makes them want to get into accidents because they were helmets, good logic
6:30 Those consoles look like a 3D printed enclosure for a Raspberry Pi 4. $35 for the computer, the enclosures will probably cost like $20,000 for the forming dies and 3 cents for the plastic. It might actually cost more for the shipping than for the console. All the computations are done on a server and the Raspberry Pi acts as a plug for your keyboard, mouse and TV. Built-in WiFi isn't affected by a plastic enclosure. I predict the first 3 or 4 versions will all have issues related to thermal management. For example: No ventilation. No attention to airflow. Thermal sensors broken by a bios update that allows the components to overheat themselves until the solder holding the chips on the board melt. Bottom mounted heat sinks that burn the shelf it sits on(and also not work very well). No thermal paste/pads. Flammable plastic used for the enclosure. Some of these things specifically, other others (unspecified) will make the product not viable on it's own. Ultimately, it will come down to the content.
14:05 "This is the American dream (of what I think people want nowadays). Whenever they think of, like, "What do you want to do?" What does an average... person want to have happen?

They want to be the person that bought Gamestop Stock at the right time. They want to be the person that is financially wealthy and successful, while simultaneously not doing any work. Their wealth and success is due to their superior intelligence, or something they feel is earned." "That is what the American dream really is. It's to get rich doing nothing, and to believe that you earned it." This'll have to be in the movie.

literally impossible, not even the current gen consoles made by AAA companies can put out 8k at 144fps. just like the nfts it's designed to promote, it's a scam
I like streaming but I have no plans for it to be my actual job. When I stream, I do it purely for the fun of it. If people watch, cool, if no people watch, cool either way.
Is there anything we can actually do to save gaming? All games need to do now is pander to a few hundred Wales and they make their money back. It feels like there's nothing we can do
The same people that think skilled labor should be paid less or is lesser work are the ones that wouldn't be caught dead doing the work. They shouldn't have an opinion on it.
Whether or not boycotts work, these companies are not going to get a dime from me. Too many people are giving up and giving in, because they think it's futile. That's some defeatist BS. You are to blame for the continued abuse you put yourselves through when you allow a company to prey upon you.
you could also view NFT as a troll on real cash. They hold value as long people believe them as one. The only real value are gold and silver. That's why central bank make a law which prohibits transaction between a products with gold/silver.
seatbelt laws are a bad example because if it want to put myself at risk by not wearing one that's none of the governments business. obviously i think people should wear them but the only person at risk is yourself so them punishing you for it is punishing the victim. this is the true with drug crimes and many other crimes that have no victim.

When “people” call you toxic for having standards and trying to prevent a darker future of gaming, just stomp on their argument with both legendary boots.

I've been in IT for over 15 years. The average consumer won't buy something if they don't understand it. You can convince parents to get onboard with trending things if you can convince them it's a toy. That's about it. You can't convince someone they need something until something they enjoy/use daily is broken. Natural upgrades to staples also make sense to the average Joe. My Dad didn't want a smartphone until he seen all his old friends were on FB. Now he posts cat pictures and completed color by numbers. NFTs and Web3 is a downgrade to already established systems and hardware. You'd be hard pressed to get anyone but edgey 20-somethings and teens, but even that is harder, because the average attention span is getting much worse.
I agree, if I play a game i like I could play all day with no issues 5 years ago, now a days I can play a game i really like for 6 hours before i log off and play something else
The nft market literally feeds on the average person not knowing about it. Fortune favors the bold mentality and the idea of im entering a new market is enticing. Also even though the first movers made millions you being the 2nd wave should at least make 100k. That is why people bum rush nfts

One remark on why people do this: it's not just because they want a get rich quick scheme. It's because they feel that hard work no longer doesn't get them anywhere anymore, where well above average jobs still won't let them own a decent house in the city they work in, it's because they feel they need to win a lottery because the only people getting ahead are the ones either with rich parents, or those who won on of those investment lotteries. Working hard no longer gets you anywhere, and that's a shame on its own and probably the real key to this issue. People are desperate.
That's...actually likely for many people getting into it. A shame to take advantage of that.

The issue with people seeing trades and hands on work as lesser than office jobs has existed since like forever, where schools have conditioned every new generation into thinking that to be successful you have to be a scientist, doctor, lawyer or researcher. And I have always said that schools need to stop selling students a dream that they cannot achieve but instead nurture their talents to be the best at what they can be.
Its the same thing with career paths and this dream of having to go to college or ivy league for the prestige, connections and quality of education. I think some of the educators themselves are blind to what they are actually doing and destroying the futures of many.

The reason why the old days of gaming was fun was because it was all focus on fun. Now a days everything is focus on how to take peoples money. How to to make players get into spending money. Make the game playable but the need to spend money at the front. Game Company's on run by CEOs and not Gamers anymore.
That's why people are moving to Indie and AA games
This is why I love indie games like Terraria. You buy the product, you get what you buy for. No bs, no microtransactions, just what is advertised.
hot take: gaming was never so much fun as today! there is an unplayable amount of games for every genre that are sold with just a single price and insanely good mechanics. gaming is just mainstream now, it´s the same with music and movies. mass market products need to be average. Better play games made by and for gamers, not by investors.
Yeah, I mean gaming in general is entirely different now. If you're stuck, first thing people do is google solutions. Look up how to get the strongest weapon, what's the strongest class even for single player games, etc.

On the religious aspect, I went to college with a severe doubt in my religion (force fed Christianity for 17 years). I took an Archeology course. You can connect the dots. I told my parents I'm out, and they forced me to have a sit down with my pastor in order to convert me back at a Culver's of all places. He told me that Satan put those dinosaur bones in the ground just to confuse me and stray me from the path. I almost choked on my butter burger. He was 100% serious.
That's fair, and I won't try to undermine what you're saying but I'd like to point out dinosaurs bones doesn't disprove anything. I've studied archaeology at the Israel university and there's a lot of archaeological evidence for a lot of the things the the Torah describes. I think this goes even into the new testament there's discoveries. Anyway I digress, there's a lot of people who don't understand what they believe, I wouldn't take what this priest said or tried to convince you of seriously. You may have concluded that there is no G-d but my friend there is a G-d and I won't try to convince you but don't stop searching for answers. Hope the butter burger was good 😂
In my church they actively discouraged kids from going to university because we learn "demonic knowledge" there. "Its full of different people with different religions and experience!" they warned. Luckily this is a church with a huge number of "upper crust" folks who made their kids study 30 hours a day to get into that band name college so luckily nobody listened to him.

Well, i think we will always have indie games, the good part of gaming is that, in theory you don't need a big budget and a massive team like in a movie or series, just a person, a computer and an idea.
I'm not saying that making games are easier, but the tools to make it possible to do one, are much more easier to obtain than in other medias.
More easier than that would be just writing a book.
If you want an indie game that can do anything more than scraps in 5 years, you need a team and the budget starts at 80k a year.
The issue with software is the people you hire are your product, and they are expensive.
Artists however, are cheap. Most feel like they shouldnt be paid, so are easily exploited into min wage.
Also, the best ideas come from non-software engineers, often. Those people cant make a functioning game in a reasonable amount of time if their life depended on it unless they have so much experience it doesnt matter.
WEB 3 GAMES WILL ALWAYS FAIL DUE TO THE GAS PRICE (YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERY TRANSTION YOU MAKE) AND NOT BECAUSE ITS A SCAM. CRYPTO IS FOR PEOPLE WITH MONEY TO BURN.
Asmon, it was refreshing to hear a successful YooTuber like yourself actual promoting the virtues of blue collar trade jobs. You were completely right when you made the statement along the lines of "The current American dream is to have the most success without doing anything at all".

Funny thing is their SDK is set to release in 2023 that according to their whitepaper "If a Developer wants to publish their Game onto the Polium Store
they will have to use the SDK, which will consist of tools that
will make the Game optimized for the console. The SDK will be available before the console is released. " This means they only got a year to start/finish their game before the console launches in 2024 with....probably zero games....

Another thing about skilled labor is that you save yourself money.

In the background was Asmon talking about Fingerprint Scanners on Controllers while I was pressing the PS button on my Playstation controller to shut off the console because I was super overwhelmed. And as I press the button and he says "Fingerprint Scanner" it triggered some sort of drug-induced psychosis or something making me think he was kinda talking to me directly. that took me into the holy shittest trip one can imagine.

6:30 Those consoles look like a 3D printed enclosure for a Raspberry Pi 4. $35 for the computer, the enclosures will probably cost like $20,000 for the forming dies and 3 cents for the plastic. It might actually cost more for the shipping than for the console. All the computations are done on a server and the Raspberry Pi acts as a plug for your keyboard, mouse and TV. Built-in WiFi isn't affected by a plastic enclosure.
I predict the first 3 or 4 versions will all have issues related to thermal management. For example: No ventilation. No attention to airflow. Thermal sensors broken by a bios update that allows the components to overheat themselves until the solder holding the chips on the board melt. Bottom mounted heat sinks that burn the shelf it sits on(and also not work very well). No thermal paste/pads. Flammable plastic used for the enclosure. Some of these things specifically, other others (unspecified) will make the product not viable on it's own. Ultimately, it will come down to the content.
