I have a weird feeling you're going to post a link to a crypto peoduct/scam shortly, given your user was created 40 minutes ago.


Anyhow, I don't really agree with using crypto in games. I think it would turn out to be just a way for companies to make more money from microtransactions; By introducing an extra step into the process of making a purchase, users will think less about what they are spending - similar to how some games require you to buy an in-game currency rather than directly buying items in the game.


The only real place I would support crypto in gaming would be to have it as another way of buying games on digital platforms like Steam. Of course, that will never work because they will just make the games into NFTs, which are even worse than microtransactions.

Don't have any scams to shill, just genuinely curious what people think 😅

Can definitely understand the sentiment of wanting less pay-to-earn. I'm a crypto-optimist so I see other ways it can be applied eg. if you sell access to a game as an NFT its simple to write a smart contract to automatically route revenue share to contributors (creator who made the music, artist who designed the assets, dev who handled the code .etc.) on every sale. As opposed to some contributors getting paid a fixed cost and one keeping all the future game revenues. Just an idea.

steam just banned NFT and blockchain, many of the developers who are affected are looking  into Ultra.io which is a game store like itch.io but with many crypto stuff accepted.  itch.io is ok but doesnt have the tools for cypto stuff like ultra.io has in their store.

Thanks for the insight. Will look into ultra.io!

Oh, my mistake. There's a lot of people with brand new accounts that post scam links; My apologies.

All good mate 🙂. I totally understand,  tons of scams rolling about, especially in crypto unfortuneately
