I mean, I'm an indiedev and while I think that line of thinking, of re-using items between games, is pretty weak generally, I can see some use cases for it. This already happens partly with asset stores like Unity's https:/&

There are plenty of NFT platforms that are not about getting rich quick yet no one talks about them because it doesn't fit their narrative. This leads me to believe that what I said is correct, rather than you said.

Artists directly making money from their art without intermediaries taking huge cuts (and with resales giving them a percentage on top of it) is absolutely not going to kill the future, it's just going to incentivize better creation of

There's value in getting things right no matter how long they take and no matter if people will notice it or not. I personally don't hold this view too strongly but I can understand other gamedevs who do.

He did say "not to make a quick buck" and not to not make money in general. As an artist, it's cool when you're getting paid for your work, but it doesn't mean it's the primary motivator for everything you do.

I don't think there's any central place or tag that captures this idea properly. Generally games like this tend to happen a lot in roguelike/roguelite tags ( https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Rog

In the case of artists the foundation of the trust relies on the fact that the token is only valuable if it comes from the artist. This doesn't involve locking anyone up, as tokens created by people who aren't the artists are simp

Yes. a) is very heavily regulated by the chain/protocol used to make the tokens work and b) would be to introduce scarcity to digital items, which possibly creates good and fosters innovation (I similarly don't want to argue wheth

I'm sure there are many artists who would disagree with you and who aren't rent seekers at all. And they benefit massively from scarcity in the digital space. That's just one group, there are many others.

If there are artists making money that previously weren't then that proportion is irrelevant. It's a completely voluntary system, no one is forced to use it or care about it.

I don't think so. Anyone who's buying this stolen art and finds out about it understands that they got scammed because it didn't come from the original artist. It may feel worse to the artist because they can see someone maki

By the market. If someone has item A that's worth 10 million dollars and you have that same item A but it was only sold for 10 dollars then the first item A, despite being the same as yours, is more valuable, and therefore people and e

There's no criticism. Making a game addictive is making a game addictive. If you're doing it with micro-transactions or with RNG-gating it's the same thing.
