Can confirm that the backbone is quite nice

Sorry my question was poorly formed. You were talking about digital files being stored perfectly fine on a local medium. I was talking about new use cases for unique digital objects, and gave examples of different kinds of existing credentials/titles.

What if that digital file is the title to your car, deed to your home, your college degree, passport, driver’s license, etc?

Living in a digital world there are IMO fascinating use cases for unique (read non-copyable, self-custodied) digital objects.

What I’m not interested in are assumptions of limitations for things we barely understand.

Yeah I dunno man. NFTs at least allow for a softening of the walls in the garden. The potential is there for fun and interesting ideas like interoperability between games and game assets, and 3rd party platforms for buying, selling, and interacting with games and game assets.

At minimum it’s a combined digital proof of purchase and login credentials that you can custody yourself and transfer/sell at will without being forced to do so through the makers’ infrastructure.

People shitting on it seem to default to an oversimplified idea of what they are and can be, and a bad faith superiority on top.

That’s not something I get down with. I like new tech. I like experimentation. And I like seeing where things go rather than assuming I already know.

Nvm I misread your initial comment as saying they were shutting down their cryptocoin (as in a coin they launched themselves). Seems they’re shutting down the wallet bc it’s the most vulnerable to violating the vague regulations currently in place. They’ve still got the marketplace and recently announced a project called PlayR that looks to be a game streaming platform.

The regulatory environment isnt doing the NFT-based game ownership model any favors.

What cryptocoin?

How the heck is this game free? It doesn’t even capture any data (on iOS) except identifies and they aren’t used to track players. Gonna give it a try.

Hades is a phenomenal roguelite. Can’t wait for the sequel!

Jaws was a low key banger of a game. Loved it.
