There are some things that really make you wonder, and here is one of them: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/peter-m...on-in-nfts
... I really hope that the people spending 40 million British pounds on PETER MOLYNEUX IN-GAME NFTS are fools who want to lose their money, because otherwise... what? Huh? Some things about this world don't make sense anymore... heh.
Seriously though, I get the concept of the game. It apparently started as a regular game about building a business, and then the NFT thing was added more recently. And having in-game ways to make real money in a game about building a business makes sense, though it shouldn't be that way, games are not something which should be about that kind of thing -- while there are lots of ways to make money in games, how is this a game if it's about really making real money which takes advantage of other real people? That is not a game any longer. That's a "game" which is now a cryptocurrency money-making grift. A grift backed by Peter Molyneux, he who has a pretty totally failed track record over the past decade, and a mixed one over the decade before that.
Seriously, what? Unless it really is all just money-laundering, why in the world would people immediately buy up all of this games' NFTs? Sure, it gets you one-of-a-kind businesses in the game, but there MUST be easier ways to earn cryptocurrency than this, for people in on crypto and its NFT scam subsidiary...
(Those people buying all of those NFTs sure will love their investments once the game gets shut down and all of their NFTs are rendered worthless, since all an NFT is is a hyperlink after all...)
