I'm glad they're getting funds, but they're from a company trying to add NFTs to games, which at best is distasteful. Now that I think of it, this seems like a mixed bag - they could have refused and took a stand, if they had cared about this issue, which they may not.
- idle_zealot 5y agoGodot gets a lot of money from shitty game developers/publishers that specialize in mobile gambling games etc. This seems to have had some impact on the engine’s feature set, as the wiki has pages/guides specifically about integrating mobile ads and in-app payments, along with script/asset encryption to enable developers to frustrate any attempts by their users to inspect/modify their games. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a “How to integrate NFTs and Blockchain transactions” wiki page pointing to some well-maintained plugin adding said integration in the near-to-mid future.
- pradn 5y agoI didn't know this, thanks for the context. Well, if at least the common features useful for most games are improved, that's not a loss.
- Mikeb85 5y agoTo be fair in-app payments are something absolutely every developer is interested in. As is code obfuscation as there's plenty of scammy publishers that copy games verbatim and then use fake reviews to push them above the legit games.
