You're viewing a single thread.
All the NFT stuff has gone above and beyond to be as dumb as possible. There was one possible use case, the proof of uniqueness, showing that you genuinely own the one and only, and all others are copies.
So people used this technology to mass produce copies of the least unique things, because of course the actual use case is a pyramid scheme to scam people for money, and all the value of a blockchain item is the promise that it will make the buyer more money.
Oh man, you hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what's going on, and most gamers aren't dumb enough to fall for it at this point.
Maybe mobile gamers are... That's a weird market. I'll never understand how people can shovel so much money into stuff like that.
Sometimes I'm reclining and I figure "hey I could play a game on my phone!"
Then, 20 seconds in at the best, I get hit with an ad and remember why I don't play mobile games.
Emulators or just straight up portable platforms like a Nintendo Switch, are the one grace for gaming on the go. I've given up on phone games too.
To be fair, there are good mobile games. But like PC games you have to actually be willing to pay for them (with some rare exceptions). It's also likely that those games are multi-platform and you've probably already seen them on PC.
And like with PC/console/handheld games, 99% of the mobile game market is complete and utter crap
