I am interested too. Great to hear Square is interested.
I bought bitcoins recently. I am trying to make more money, i want to buy a Xbox Series X and a 4k TV.
I feel too old when people are talking about blockchain and NFT
I literally had to google what's the meaning of those two words
Just to explain what it means within this context: Square (and many other game publishers) want to build their games as platforms. Imagine Roblox times a hundred. Give gamers a platform and some tools, and they'll build the games themselves. You don't have to do much beyond that, you give those gamers/builders a cut of the money you make from pure consumers and that's it. Easy money and super easy to scale.I feel too old when people are talking about blockchain and NFT

It might be more but the ownership is still in the hands of the platform holders of the chain. The TopShot terms and conditions has a lot of things that you can't do.Blockchain is fundamental for the future online content. It gives more ownership to the player.
Wildebeest beat me to the best explainerI'm still confused whenever I see blockchain/NFT in gaming. Is this something where I play the game and they give me money for playing it? If I have this right, why would they give me money? Pretty sure I have this wrong.
There is probably also going to be a unique id tattoo onto your hat but the fundamental design doesn't have to be uniqueThis is basically people trading hats in Team Fortress 2 except it uses a lot more energy and hardware. It isn't anything new or exciting at all.
I honestly don't get it. But it's a way to verify that you have the only real copy of a digital item basically.Can anyone post a link on how 'Block Chain' works for games? What is the story there?

Bravely SecondSquare enix should start mimicking Capcom and make great games to sell some games, their current releases are a bit trash not gonna lie.
Those games are good and life is strange is one of my favorite games this year, but they also need to make money I don't see any of those games selling more than 3m-4m copies. Most of those won't even sell 2m.Bravely Second
Dungeon Encounters
Voice of Cards
Guardians of the Galaxy
Actraiser
That's just this year. Not counting stuff I don't play from 2021 like Endwalker, Life is Strange, World Ends With You 2, Circuit Superstars.
Capcom has a lot more of a AAA feel consistently, but I've enjoyed a lot of these AA releases from SQEX this year.
That's their mobile division's task but I do want to look that their operating income.but they also need to make money
These are the current limits. The rise of player expectations will further increase the offered terms by the developers.It might be more but the ownership is still in the hands of the platform holders of the chain. The TopShot terms and conditions has a lot of things that you can't do.

So unless someone else can explain it to me, it's a way to auction off DLC and microtransactions with real world money. Like a Diablo 3 launch auction house on steroids.
In the context of gaming, it's 100% negative for consumers. It might be a little valuable for content creators of trinkets or mods who want to fleece whales.
That's a simple way of explaining it. Thank you.In simple terms Blockchain is system that makes digital files finite. also transferable between users in the system without centralized authority. so the content can't be taken away from users.
For example if PT was distributed in a blockchain system. Konami wouldn't be able to stop players from selling the game digitally to others.
But somewhere is a server with the digital contents? A copy of pt is on every computer doing a hash of the content?For example if PT was distributed in a blockchain system. Konami wouldn't be able to stop players from selling the game digitally to others.
So... we got some great games with no strings attached, and you complain because of that?Those games are good and life is strange is one of my favorite games this year, but they also need to make money I don't see any of those games selling more than 3m-4m copies. Most of those won't even sell 2m.
I'm not complaining, I'm saying they need to make money developing better games like Capcom and not all the other shit they're trying (and failing) Capcom made a fortune this year with single player games, square enix is very capable of that too.So... we got some great games with no strings attached, and you complain because of that?
People are willing to pay more money for items with verifiable digital ownership, censorship-resistance and marketplaces to trade them.That's a simple way of explaining it. Thank you.
What's your take on why game companies are interested in this?
The distributed ledger could be just for the license. the game file would need 2 parties.But somewhere is a server with the digital contents? A copy of pt is on every computer doing a hash of the content?
It would incentivize content creators and give value to what they make. Also reduce some costs of administration.What's your take on why game companies are interested in this?
Like "real life" art market, it will be just an easy way to launder money or converting them in a different form of value.People are willing to pay more money for items with verifiable digital ownership, censorship-resistance and marketplaces to trade them.
For real. Gives me even more justification for all the retro stuff I continue to pick up.When they start making games using real world terms that sound like battle mechanics in JRPGs, it's time to plug the N64 back in.
Doubt it honestlyThese are the current limits. The rise of player expectations will further increase the offered terms by the developers.
I am going to shill this site, you can make good money on farms, it's new token on fairly new blockchain.I am interested too. Great to hear Square is interested.

For sure! Better to have a DLC that lives outside the game that I can trade with others than one I can't thoughLike "real life" art market, it will be just an easy way to launder money or converting them in a different form of value.
