[nemiroff]

Nice try with the shitty ineffective reverse psychology, but nah, fuck NFTs. OtoH, NFTs are so faux pas now it kinda suits you well doc.

 

[Lasha]

Lol you definitively don't know how the blockchain work... You already can't do that on CS GO with something not as complex as NFT, so what you are saying have no sense...

NFT is just data stored on a ledger. 99.9% of the biggest NFT are a simple JSON file with a link to the image/text/tweet being referenced. Only the reference is stored on the blockchain. There would be zero reason to encode game data on the blockchain since the data are only useful within the single game. Cost also becomes a factor since you basically pay the lifetime cost of storage when minting an NFT. CS GO skins work on the same principle without blockchain tech. Nothing stopping Dr. D from building his own market, database, etc.

 

[ozz ex machina]

Lol you definitively don't know how the blockchain work... You already can't do that on CS GO with something not as complex as NFT, so what you are saying have no sense...

You don't win the skins for doing something ingame in csgo. Doc is suggesting you load into an environment, loot something worth $$$ - then extract with it. In that scenario a hacker with aimbot, wallhacks, etc, can simply kill you once you have the loot and take it off your body unfairly. That's the difference. The "complexity" of the NFT has nothing to do with it. Even if the game had amazing anticheat, if you could actually farm real money from the game, then the focus on it to make cheats for it would be immense and there's no way it wouldnt be fucked.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Cheaters and hackers have stolen people's items in CS:GO

If a player in in doc's game says to somebody "I'll 1 on 1 you for this item" and the item is set to automatically transfer the moment one person wins, which is what dr disrespect is proposing in his game, and the other person uses an aimbot to win, there will be nothing stopping that person who used the aim bot receiving the item, and with it being an NFT the transaction would be untraceable

And there goes your $100,000 nft, through no fault of your own, other than the person you played against decided to cheat

This isnt just a stupid idea, you would get people hurting themselves, or hurting other people

Does this honestly sound like a good idea to you? can you actually imagine the ramifications of an unhinged person losing $100,000 in a single round of a FPS game, people have been seriously hurt over less than that

False, they scam people, it's the same scam as giving your password to someone, there is no hack or cheat related to this... You are incult dude... That only scam, they get the password of dumb people and transfert their items on their accounts... Absolutely no hack or cheats related to this, again... And nobody can get your keys if you don't store it on your computer... In blockchain world, first thing you need to know is this, you need to write your wallet key on paper and store it someone in your house, not store it on your computer, whit that you never will get "hacked"...

You really don't understand what you're talking about

Doc is proposing an NFT automatically transfers to another player when they win the game, no amount of keys written on pieces of paper are going to stop that happening if somebody cheats in the game and wins against you

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Yeah maybe this way is dumb, i agree... Im more fan of random loot after x games...

The train has long gone, it looks like he has invested money somewhere and is now trying not to go out completely empty-handed.

 

[hemo memo]

I’ve never paid for a skin and I will never do.

 

[Mr Moose]

I don't always take advice from the internet, but when I do it's from a lanky cosplayer who cheats on his wife.
I'll take 10!

 

[CGNoire]

He's a terrific streamer, hilarious one at that but he fails to realize how this would ruin his game. Not because it "wouldn't work", because in concept it might very well, but for some reason he's completely missing how Deadrop would be infested with cheaters if they'd go this route.

Extraction shooters are already incredibly hardcore at the best of times and dying during a raid is a huge downer but dying to cheaters kills entire communities (see The Cycle Frontier).

Not only that but if its worth that much money then swatting and lets face it straight up murder would insue after a loss. Teams hunting down other teams etc..

 

[poppabk]

Where does this $100k come from in the first place and why would anyone risk it, cheaters or not?

 

[CGNoire]

He's kinda right. As a person who has had such amazing experiences with video games that have high stakes I think the idea behind this is cool. Anyone completely dismissing it based off headline stories of bad crypto scams and NFT projects simply doesn't understand the technology enough to see its potential in the future. I think without proper regulation the current landscape is a minefield if you're going to get into this stuff. That said, it will happen one day, and it will be done right. Then all these same people will write stories/tweets about how this 'new hit game' revolutionised gaming. Do I think Dr Disrespect is the guy to make this new game? Not really. As I said the current landscape and lack of regulation just opens this stuff up to be some of the worst shit. I think the idea of actual stakes in multiplayer videogames is really cool to me. Dayz highlighted how the meta game that develops over time becomes a psychological one as every decision has stakes and completely changes the way people play the game. This only becomes a dystopian nightmare if every game becomes this, which doesn't need to be the case.

How much are you in for?

People in the gaming sphere seem to have confused NFT the technology/concept to mean unique dlc that has a monetary value. Having said that, there could be a reason to use the blockchain if you want to implement this without having to deal with the contracts backend yourself.

 

[SirKicksalot]

As long as it's livestreamed that just makes it better IMO.

 

[StereoVsn]

Blockchain isn't necessary to have items in games worth money. Any extraction game could allow RMT of items and program rare drops into their game. Valve has made billions on the concept without blockchain. NFT add nothing but pointless complexity.

Now, now, NFTs get crypto bros excited and can be used to scam a lot more people vs just your vanilla skins. Well, except this dude is a year or two too late.

The whole schtick here is basically designed to fleece idiots who would fall for this shit. Thankfully this "game" will be dead almost immediately.

 

[T4keD0wN]

And i though the biggest fraud about that dude was him not even being a doctor.

 

[Black_Stride]

The train has long gone, it looks like he has invested money somewhere and is now trying not to go out completely empty-handed.

He started a videogame company with fourzerotwo and has a game in early access.
Obviously their next update is likely going to implement NFTs, hes just easing his community into it by trying to say its an awesome feature.....then suddenly ohh hey our game has the awesome feature I was telling you about.

[ShakenG]

"What an idiot" - DrDisrespect

 

[MikeM]

Ah yes- $100k NFT. You buying them Dr.Disrespect? No? Didn’t think so.

Writing is on the wall for NFTs- they already cratered in value. Lol to those who got burned by them.

 

[CGNoire]

No I Will Not be paying for your Second Island you Selfish Fuck.

 

[Umbasaborne]

What an idiot

 

[ReBurn]

Hes right.

Lot of people complaining about that pay battle pass, dlcs and skins in their games, so whats the problem to play, earn something worth money ? Are you just mad because you are not going to be able to buy some exclusives skins ?...

I think it's less about the digital item and more about gamers surreptitiously working for the developer to mine enough cryptocurrency to make actually worthless $100k digital items possible in the first place. And doing so in an environment where cheaters will be able to easily steal those items from you when their bots kill you.

 

[ANDS]

I feel like NFT's are a bit like the discovery of nuclear energy: great in theory, but we absolutely lack the temperance to use it responsibly.

. . . and the good Doctor isn't wrong about the hilarity of poopooing this idea as a money trap when money traps are all over gaming.

 

[Lunarorbit]

The year is 2023 of our Lord.

Stop trying to make NFTs a thing. They aren't fetch.

Seriously though, if you're still promoting NFTs at this point you are brain dead.

Wanna waste time and increase your stress levels to unhealthy levels? Then do some shitty nft extraction mode. This isn't Ready Player One. NFTs are broken and at this point have a horrible rep

 

[xClout]

Never liked this cornball

 

[Northeastmonk]

Service games don’t last very long to have some excessive NFT market. Some will, but that’s like saying everyone will make millions on YouTube someday. Not everyone is going to and time has a way of changing things. Even the best service games on the market change or get updated after each console gen. Imagine paying for or relying on an in game item to a game that’s not even around anymore. You’re relying on a market of consumers who always have a new game to play every other year. If he’s relying on Warzone and Fortnite then yea this might work.

 

[BlackTron]

And I’m not entirely convinced he’s a doctor.

Exactly this. He’s setting up his fan base for his NFT filled game. He stands to make tons of money so he’s gonna push it hard.

 

[Philfrag]

How much are you in for?

Are you asking how much would I pay to be part of a game like that or are you implying I have some investment in the current market? I'll gladly answer if you could be specific.

 

[lh032]

i mean hes called drDISRESPECT for a reason

 

[Kacho]

Of course he’s excited about it. He stands to make a fortune with these. He’s just trying to convince his impressionable audience that it’s a good thing so they buy this crap.

 

[DR3AM]

Did they ever release any gameplay videos for his game?

 

[SweetShark]

Please don't ban me for saying this:

Suck my NFT picture of my dick

. . . and the good Doctor isn't wrong about the hilarity of poopooing this idea as a money trap when money traps are all over gaming.

The reason NFTs are "more" of a scam is because buying and selling in-game items isnt new....even for real money.
Tying it to blockchain and some weird random token is a grift because you can pump and dump said token.
Whereas a developer controlled economy cant be as easily manipulated cuz devs can literally "fix" the economy whenever they want and it will be transparent.

NFT tokens Dr and his other rich friends can buy a bunch of the token before the game launches.
Hype it up right before launch or at launch then when its value goes up because "look at all these gamers using TokenX to buy things in game".........cash out.
That hypothetical 100,000 dollar NFT hes harping on about, once the cashout happens, that NFT wont be worth 100,000 dollars anymore and he can blame the "free" market for it losing value.
But Dr and his friends will have already cashed out with gamers holding their dicks with worthless tokens.

Look at that F1 game that used NFTs for skins and shit.....once the token wasnt worthwhile even expensive skins which in theory you could sell or cashout with were literally worthless.

I can all but guarantee someone tied to DrDisrespect or Dr himself will be investigated by the SEC after this token fails.

 

[Batiman]

Haven’t heard NFTs being mentioned in months. I thought they had a quick death.

 

[SSfox]

People like this should not be allow on gaming space

 

[RyuCookingSomeRice]

Moron has lost the plot. Used to love The Doc but Call of Duty has fried his brains it seems.

Blockchain gaming is stupid as fuck and isnt feasable.

 

[Black_Stride]

Did they ever release any gameplay videos for his game?

Its in early access.
Obviously you have to buy the Founder Pack or whatever to play it.

 

[Vestal]

When you start monetizing stuff in your "Game", it stops being a game.

 

[AJUMP23]

Digital good and NFTs have already dropped in value. It was a total of 6 months of stupidity of people thinking digital goods held tangible value. But it will be years for the gaming industry to recover, because they saw easy money in "unique Items".

 

[RyuCookingSomeRice]

He's a character nothing more. Anyone taking this guy seriously is smoking something.

He was a map designer for cod and built a game studio. Drdisrespect is Guy Beahms character but he shares his opinions through Doc.

 

[jaysius]

Dude isn't even good at gaming, I've watched him a bit, he's just a whiny fuck whenever people kill him in Warzone he whines that they're stream peaking or other dumbass excuses.

Of course he's happy about NFTs he's the top of this pathetic scam, he'll gain all the money.

 

[DemonGamerTTT]

In a world where there is no such thing as cheating and the term NFT doesn't already just immediately make it cringe and dead on arrival. The actual notion of having a loot based extraction game like Tarkov where you can actually extract out with something worth a certain amount of money, is obviously actually an interesting concept. But there is no way it can ever be achieved currently in a fair environment.

They could just pay a prize through a cash out system for one or some of the items you have in your inventory when the match finishes.

But the reason they are using NFT is clear...

For those uninitiated they chose NFT just because it's value is whatever they are able to sell hype, what that means is they will never pay you even 10 bucks for a intem instead they are going to give you the digital asset(it's just a long code) itself and will say that it's worth 100k.

Nfts are absolutely useless, it does nothing other than exists in the block chain. All the possible "value" it could have is determined by how famous and influent the person which assigns it that said value.

It's like being paid in Bison dollars which "worth" 5 British pounds each.

 

[YuLY]

The guy lost his big income from Twitch, even if he streams on Youtube he aint making as much as he used to, and is now trying to cash out before he drops even more.

You can see from his streams from the past year, either he lost the drive since leaving twitch or hes just becoming washed up and losing reaction time cause of age, but he just aint as good of a player as he was in 2018/2019 when he was at his peak.

Just him trying to cash out with this FPS game which will probably flop hard. First he said its BR, now its Extraction style, no real vision, just jumping on the latest trend hoping to hit, reminds me of Cliffy B with Lawbreakers and then right after Radical Heights.

If you were to describe an Nft game to me, I would think of something like that.

 

[MiguelItUp]

People want it to work in games so bad, but I don't think it ever will because of the amount against it.

 

[DaGwaphics]

There's just a bit of a logical hole in the entire thinking of it. The potential to retrieve something of real value would be interesting, but NFTs have no real-world value outside of what idiots project on to them. If the game got popular the "winnings" become less rare and on top of that you run out of idiots willing to pay top dollar. After that the "prizes" in the game no longer have value, killing that avenue of excitement for the game. In order for this to work the NFTs would have to maintain their value for the long haul. Which seems doubtful.

 

[Art The Clown]

Welp, time to fire up zone alarm and Cain and able.

We gonna be rich.

 

[Fuz]

Side thought, general and not completely related to this, that I may or may not elaborate in the future. Kinda interesting that we first saw a gamification of work/real life and now we're full in the middle of workification of gaming.
