Remember that time Ubi management tried to promote NFT to their employees and give some to them as a "bonus"? And then their own employees just told them to fuck off with that bullshit?

Ubisoft needs to crash and burn.

Ew wtf. That implies they are actually all in on NFTs for real.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

The higher ups? Yeah, probably. This was clearly an attempt to embark their employees so they'd kickstart a hype. It didn't work.

Ubisoft devs are probably mostly decent people, but the more we hear about the upper management, the worse.

Who is still trying to make NFTs happen in 2024?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago

Obviously... Ubisoft

I genuinely thought it was a concept that was pretty much dead on arrival. A failed spin-off scam from the general blockchain scam.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

It is. Ubisoft evidently didn't get the memo. Not surprising.

prodcedureally generated, but NFT?

so basically, no scarcity of production, but scarcity of consumption?

the world has gone insane. we don't deserve computers

Another gambling fraud disguised as a "game". Politicians all over the world should do more about this to protect people from addiction and debt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

They should, but they are in on the take so they won't.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

Well I'm glad someone has done this so everyone else can see for sure that this is a dead idea

How does that thing have a value of $63000? Did someone actually pay that? Are they asking that? Also there's apparently 5 of em? I am so confused.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

There are 5 of them and they're worth $63,000 because they said so. And they hope they can convince enough people of that so they can sell them quick and forget they ever existed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Ok so this is ubisoft giving that price?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Aren't NFTs a dead meme? I can go to Shutterstock to buy some real art instead of some random JPEG.

To quote Homestar Runner, like a flaming sack of crap

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

That sure will help them not get bankrupt.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

At least they didn’t enshittify their existing properties with this crap.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

I got bad news for you.
