Has there ever been a NFT/blockchain game thats gameplay first?
Epic Games store is full of this web3 asset flip trash or very bad clones of actual good games.

Don't really understand the benefits of NFT either if you can just use microtransactions (not that i like microtransactions either, but for free games its fine i guess) that are way easier for end user to use, rather than creating random wallets and going through multiple conversion things to get something etc.

This looks like its gonna fail big.

Many won't understand NFTs until Steam removes trading cards (their ToS allows them to do it). People need to lose something before they start looking for alternative solutions. I am sometimes surprised how slow this process is, even when free-to-play online servers get closed left and right and people losing everything they spent on micro-transactions.

Fun fact, Valve's flop Artifact still has trading cards, but none of them load because the images are only on Steam servers. Images of properly done NFTs are stored on IPFS (torrent like filesystem accessible via web gateways).

What good is a trading card NFT if the service that these cards were made for no longer exists / blocks the NFTs?

If I buy microtransactions in a game and the game is no longer playable I can't just go into any other game and start using my items there. Even if other games would start accepting any NFT item that I would own, apart from the technical issues it would be also game breakingingly unbalanced.

Quoting: chrFor anyone who cares: Roblox is systematically abusive to children:

I don't know what would be better - for Blender to accept their money or to refuse the very light good PR that Roblox is getting from this donation.

"very light good PR" isn't going to finance anything. And most people will not even care.

Quoting: Luke_NukemShould have called them "Doom clones" like they were actually called in the 90s. Fucking hate that "boomer shooter" term.

Ok boomer :wink:

Quoting: ripperPerhaps a stupid question, but what's the purpose of adding your Steam games to Lutris? Steam already has Proton integration, so what's the benefit?

You can have all of your games in one place

Quoting: FurysparkThe only way they are likely to rebuild trust is by publicly executing John Rikitikitaco and all the other wretches who thought this was a good idea. Or at the very least, the next best thing to execution.

Death threats are never OK.
It's just a Game Engine, no one deserves to die just because they did a (admittedly very stupid and bad) business decision.

2 Unity offices have already shut down because of that, and if you think that people should die because they're changing the financiation of a game engine I think you should be reported to the authorities.

Quoting: officerniceOW could've been online forever. Just release a map editor and server binaries. What a game it was when it came out...

But there would be no making money with that. So that would never happen.

Quoting: WoodlandorWait… CS:GO uses FACEIT? I thought Valve just used their own VAC or something similar they rolled out on their own.

No, you can install the Faceit anti cheat and match make on their servers.
Normal CS:GO still uses VAC

Quoting: IvancilloA game about taking photos with a camera?

Better take your camera and go outside to take some fancy real life photos.

This was just an excuse to post your expensive camera, wasn't it?

Quoting: spacemonkeyWhat I got from reading the replies to legluondunet's post: Apparently, playing roms needs to be justified. So, that kinda proofed his point about it being unethical.

It doesn't need to be justified though?

That's like me saying "touching grass is bad!", everyone in this thread disagreeing with me and you saying "oh, they need to justify touching grass, so it must be bad!".

I had an idea for using the deck as a drone controller but never followed up on it.

That just takes it to a new level :grin:

Quoting: mr-victoryThe million dollar question: Does the Steam Deck run Linux or Windows?!

If you zoom in closely you can faintly see the steam deck background. Of course they could have just changed it on windows.
