Nothing like that huge value of things that are given away and no one will buy. So much value!!!

What a dumb suggestion.

A lot less cheating on console.
Idk one hand the idea that you could trade skins and collectable for whatever YOU wanted to sounds great but there seems like it can't just be that simple. There had to be some way for devs to work in there slice of the pie.
That kind of ruins the concept. But if it was simply, whatever collectables you find are yours, it would be cool. But the game still needs to stand 100% on its own.

Need to just set rarity and let the price adjust accordingly, not every game gets to be Counter Strike. The cool thing about NFTs is that you could cash out on the game and get your money back. When every game now has their own fake currency that you can buy and never recovery anything back its absolutely brain dead that you guys think NFTs are a bad thing. NFTs have a bad rap now because of how over hyped and over priced the initial wave was. It's simply a technology for digital ownership that gives more rights to the user than anything that came before it.

I don't think they ever even came. Pushers kept saying that they would come, but they didn't, and the whole thing somehow crashed anyway.

Nobody's talking about 100k nfts existing on launch day. You're going to have super small dollar items on launch day and the market will determine where things go from there. In extraction games, they'll go nowhere with the amount of cheating that occurs. The only way that I can see anything retaining any value in extraction games is if we're talking about items that can't be taken off other players. I have no idea how much value anyone would find in those, either.

So he wants MXT items worth $100k in his games?
Or is hoping to collect an item someone else paid $100k to put in?
Or an item he hopes some dumbass pays $100k for?
No matter how I piece it together, it sounds fucking retarded.
The amount of cheaters and sweats would be asinine.

I'm glad to be brain dead then. NFT is a indeed a scam from richest people.

Sounds like a disrespectful Dr.
I'd like to see how he comes up with the valuation of said items. And how would they protect these "valuable" items from cheaters that are ruining basically every competitive online game there is? But I can totally understand why he finds the concept to exciting, especially as a developer.
Lock and punch me in the dick if discussed.

Who knew a guy who makes a living playing video games on YT or Twitch would also support gamers buying NFTs.

Hey, man. If that's the cap you want to stick a feather in, have at you. People like shooting heroin, and there's a demographic there. Doesn't mean I suddenly want to be one of the cool kids.

That's attention whoring online grifters or video game companies for ya. Anything to make a buck.
You dont see this kind of shit from your typical Fortune 500 company, when in reality they got huge brands too and could surely pawn off pricey NFTs as much as any game company or Youtuber.
Yet you dont see it.

This is just empty-headed rich narcissists wanting to wear designer clothes in online video games. They can't understand that sensible people don't actually respect or value superficial status symbols and, in fact, believe that the idea of inculcating the idea that these things have value in children (a large part of the good doctor's following, I believe) is abhorrent.
Also, in addition, DrDisrespect looks like a bender. Nothing against it, he just does.

Wanting to look flash is fine. NFT are more about printing money and feasting on seigniorage than showing status.

They've already been printing money for years, NFTs just give you some level of ownership.

NFT allow for an "anonymous" secondary market to skirt regulation. It provides no benefit if ones goal is to just add transferable mtx. NFT gives you ownership of whatever data are stored in the token and nothing else.

That's not true he also says "Hey guys. uuuuuh... I kinda have a little bit of an announcement, I just wanna be completely transparent with you guys, as you guys know I have a beautiful family, and a wife, and kid. And I wanna be transparent that I've been unfaithful, and I'm probably going to be taking some time away, t-time off, to focus on... Stupid fucking mistakes man."

You either dont understand how NFTs and the tokens tied to them work and/or dont understand how buying in game currency is different from them.They've already been printing money for years, NFTs just give you some level of ownership.
Theres an incentive for devs to go for NFT shit instead of in game currency.....its to fleece the market.
Yes GameX could increase the price of itemY by Z amount of coins and people would complain that the economy is too steep (see Forza Motorsport).
But if the price of items is tied to the "free market" and the coin/token is on the blockchain people can manipulate the market price, make a killing and bounce....leaving people with worthless tokens.
Yes, that ingame thing you bought is effectively worthless but atleast no one is claiming its actually worth anything to begin with, or that you can sell it forward for real cash, or that if the token gains value that item you have will now be worth more real world dollars, so please tell your friends to buy into the game and token too.
NFTs and Blockchain in gaming are a grift because they dont solve any problems that dont already have existing solutions, they do however allow bad faith players to make a shit ton of money doing simple pump and dumps.

I thought NFTs were stupid until I bought Deadrop and saw my items on the blockchain and in my digital wallet. It sort of opened my eyes to having actual ownership of items with monetary value.
Some of us grind endlessly for items in games that are worth absolutely nothing outside of those games. It made me feel like that's a complete waste of time compared to earning items that are worth something in the real world.
We'll see how it turns out in practice though. As mentioned, cheaters will also be an issue.

Can we go lock up NFT-bros and crypto-bros in a room somewhere so they can all try to talk each other into how valuable their imaginary shit is and then they can buttfuck each other, figuratively and literally?

If that NFT item is free and just in the world available to extract, then I don't see what the issue is. It would be an absolutely nerve-racking experience of course, one I probably couldn't handle LOL
I'm interested in how they'll keep cheaters out.

It hasn't worked, because those "NFT" games are not games. They aren't made or designed by game creators. They're a money extraction scheme with a coat of game paint. I honestly don't understand how ppl get taken for them all the time.
From my understanding, Doc's "idea" for the game came from EFT. I think he thought that stakes weren't high enough when extracting... so he wanted to crank it up with a rare item that might drop from time to time. I've seen some of the game play and they're making some pretty good progress, it looks like a FPS game, early build of course.

Wow, great input. I provided an actual experience I had with this specific game. Most people here are talking about something they know shit all about.

Bruh they are literally charging real money for fake money and then shutting down the servers after few years. There's a lot of different ways that NFTs can be sold from respectable to complete scum but the baseline is that at least if you stop playing the game you can sell your items and get some of your money back.
