I am confused. This is a video game using NFT artwork of some sort? Can someone show me an example of what it looks like in motion? I am not sure what any of it means or even why it would be a thing, or how successful they think this will be/hope it will be. There is actual gameplay and a story? EDIT: my confusion is from me not really understanding what NFT's even are, because everyone has a different definition. My limited understanding of them is that they are images of a sort that can be bought, but only digitally? How does that translate to an entire video game? another edit: It requires an online connection and discord? seems needlessly complex. That, or I am just stupid, which I am.

Man, and Square's been doing so well lately with all of their revivals of sub-AAA projects that are downright fun. Why throw money at this shipped that's already sailed (and sunk)?

They missed the NFT train and now the train is on fire while sinking. Impeccable timing.

I'm not sure if I'm looking at this correctly, but total sales volume is 84ETH, which is currently about $191K USD American, with a 5% creator cut is about $9550 USD American to SQUEENIX.
