And how about the push-back from game developers who don't want to spend the extra incredible amount of work they would have to invest to enable importing digital assets from other games to unbalance and pollute their own games and cut into their revenue?
If you were an actual game developer yourself, this would be obvious to you.
>The push back from gamers has been non-stop and intense. I don't get it.
It's quite obvious why, so you should get it, but I'm afraid you never will, if your income depends on not getting it, and you prefer to ignore all the wise and precious "non-stop and intense push back from gamers" you're getting, and dispariage your reluctant potential customers as "bonkers", because you think you know better than they do when it comes to them spending their money on your NFT scams to line your pockets at their expense.
If you were an actual game player yourself, this would be obvious to you.
But if you were either, then it would be easy for you to understand the totally justified contempt that both game developers and game players have for all the crypto-bros who have invaded the game industry with their Web 3.0 bullshit, who have absolutely no idea what it's like to develop or play a game, who just want to push their NFT get-rich-quick pyramid schemes and rug pulls, and see game developers and players as suckers to be exploited.
It's been more than a year since "Line Goes Up" and Christopher Natsuume's videos came out. Please don't tell me you haven't heard of them or been able to find enough time in your busy schedule of shilling NFTs to watch them. Nobody believes what you're shilling any more. Time to stop. Please stop pretending you don't know the gig is up.

Let me explain Blockchain gaming and Play-to-Earn.

>NFTs are a pure scam. Blockchain gaming is a pyramid scheme. Play-to-Earn is not only a scam, it's deeply immoral.
Using NFTs to own ingame objects: Also pretty much a scam.

>In this video, I'd like to clarify and further explain: Using NFTs to own ingame objects is an unnecessarily inefficient byproduct of a larger scam.

- zztop44 3y agoI don’t have a horse in this race and I’m not a gamer (although I used to be) and I also find it strange that gamers don’t prefer NFTs over the standard skins/cosmetics market. I can totally understand why developers and publishers prefer to keep digital assets in their own databases, but from a users perspective having it on a public blockchain seems like exactly the same product but better in terms of more options? I could understand if the aversion was around the impacts of monetising play on the culture, but many of these games already have high volume third party resale markets for digital assets so I feel like that shit has sailed? For what it’s worth, I have watched Line Goes Up and thought it was a good and fair analysis of the NFT market.
- DonHopkins 3y ago> from a users perspective having it on a public blockchain seems like exactly the same product but better in terms of more options What options? What advantages are there? Better for who, the scammers pulling the rug? Keep in mind, the oft-repeated promise of being able to move assets from one game to another is a bald faced lie, and that's pretty obvious to developers and even players, just not crypto bros and NFT shills who have never developed or played games, apparently.

- TylerE 3y agoPeople hate fees. Buying an NFT MTX is not just a fee, not just a fee fee, but like a fee fee fee.
