- conorcleary 5y agoOh, real innovative comment in this day and age. Scams exist throughout history, at least crypto's goal is authenticity and transparency.
- s-lambert 5y agoThere's nothing wrong with crypto on its own but crypto in video games is 100% a total scam. There are no realistic use cases for it other than tricking people out of their money.
- 0des 5y agoIt would be applicable for in game currency and in game assets. What comes to mind is a game like CS:Go. Tournament prizes paid in currency, in game items like weapon skins and knives as NFT. I'm not likely to use it as I don't play games, but it is easy to see the application for it. (Unless biases preclude that)
- s-lambert 5y agoYou technically could do that but there's no real advantage to it, having an external store for a game's data isn't useful; a database is a better fit in all use cases. A game's economy doesn't exist without the game's balance and the same goes for items within that game. Trying to make some pie-in-the-sky "+4 str +4 stam leather belt" NFT is just nonsense.
- 0des 5y agoI didn't say it was essential, I was filling in the details that the parent post was not able to understand. I do not play games, and I do not believe either of the two necessitates the other, I just have a knack for understanding simple concepts.
