Whoever thinks this is a problem needs to be bullied more.

PC Gamer is anti NFT. That headline is not sarcastic, it's actual praise.
Oh good, I was worried!
(also being genuine here)
This means we must have diverged from the worst timeline.
I guess that's proof right there that things could have been worse
The NFT people were sending death threats to content creators and artists speaking out against NFTs. I don't think we were the ones doing the bullying.
Didn't realize we could bully a jpeg
You can't bully a jpg. You can, however, bully a link to a jpg that you don't actually possess.
You clearly haven't seen weebs then :D
Not a jpeg... a receipt, with a link, to a copy, of a jpeg (that you don't own any rights to).
Cool.

Just a friendly reminder, as sarcastic as it sounds with the "good job internet", this article is sincerely praising how people across the internet made many game studios and publishers reconsider and avoid using NFTs in games, comparing it to how internet buzz brought legislative attention to loot boxes in games.
On the other hand, I even kind of respect scams that are purely targeting greedy people.
Thank God. Rest in piss, NFT craze.
Finally some good news for a change
Schadenfreude is a pretty toxic perspective but I'm definitely laughing at the people whose finances exploded because they sold everything for monkey JPEGs.
They said we just need a common enemy for humanity to unite. I did not expect it to be crypto nonsense.
Do we have a celebration party? NFT was never supposed to be this shitshow and the scammers (including companys putting them in games) deserve the worst.
I disagree with the use of the word 'bullying' implying that they would've happened otherwise. NFTs in video games would never have happened, because they don't do anything that publishers weren't already doing.
"You're welcome"
That was literally the idea.
For once the internet didn't fuck up.

"Mainstream Games" are already scammy enough.
I'm all for NFTs, but I count this as a win. I'm opposed to all micro-transactions in games; they breed only bad behavior on the part of game makers.
