I was amused that this was announced on the same day that the PSO2 FGO clone for mobile got killed, marking yet another significant Sega mobile game failure
its funny though that everything decent theyâve put out is only cuz they published it
anyway rip ubisoft they havenât developed a good game themselves ever. they patched homosexuality out of a game so they were my guess for who jumped on NFTs first anyway

Iâm curious to see what will happen because fundamentally, thereâs nothing to gain on a publisherâs side here. NFTs are a form of distributed trust and the game developer is incapable of not being the ultimate source of trust in their own world. All DLC must conform and submit to their core revisions and can only function with their authorization. They are the only source of goods and the only place where those goods function.
The case Iâve heard is allowing grey-market sales to be legitimated - bringing the skins and account trading into something verifiable. Giving users a right of resale to their digital goods. But the publisher would not see money from these resales, and they have historically fought resale at every step. The only argument for their benefit is that it adds value to the initial sale, but theyâve never cared about that before. I donât see why they would have changed their mind.
As well, allowing resale implies further rights to a purchaser of DLC. I canât imagine any publisher being willing to give up any of its rights to modify the underlying software willingly. Just the opposite - like most businesses, they seem to value control over money in a lot of cases.
I just canât see how this would be implemented.
also, in trying to read this, thereâs no news article or press release underlying it? Uh, not that I donât trust crypto news orgs to not be inveterate con artists, but I donât trust crypto news orgs to not be inveterate con artists

There was a Almost a Shenmue Online for a while there as a browser game.
Shenmue 3 sucked so bad and sold bad and Sega didnât want their name on it soâŚ
seige is âgoodâ like it could have used any other skin but its literally just a vehicle for men to jerk off over hot operator asses and killing people with a high budget military. its not good you just have fun playing it. its the exact kind of poison that someone who would jump on NFTs first would make

As far as I know, certain NFT schemes have built-in support for giving the issuer a commission on subsequent resales, so I donât think this is necessarily always true. I donât know enough about the individual players in the business to know how common this is, but it is a thing I have heard of.
Itâs still fucking stupid.

Aura did some digital forensics on the company Ubisoft is investing in. Thread here:

TL;DR: Whole thing is a scam designed to lure in angel investors. They publish mobile gacha titles and middlebrow PC games. The few products they have that incorporate blockchain appear to be specifically designed to make the employees (who own the majority of the currency/NFTs) rich. Ubisoft is falling for it because it is run by sex predators with more money than sense.

I want Super Game to be the name of a game line like Sega Ages. Put it on every game box.
Shenmue Online? No, itâs Shenmue: THE SUPER GAME.
Super Game 3500: Gunvalkyrie Royale

Wow, this is something. Mechanically (and perhaps in other ways as well) it reminds me of Jazzuoâs Star Wars Episode 7.
I hope the action parts donât get prohibitively difficult in the episodes.
Also apparently that NFT company owns the company that makes the Power Rangers game everyone likes. Oh well, canât have anything good.
maybe its cuz i got into 3d modeling at the wrong time but i feel like nft is everywhere and poisons everything it touches

Itâs like a thought exercise in heightened contradictions. The fruit snack advertisement laboratory doors swing open and the voiceover asks what theyâll think of next.
