    What’s all this panic about? I don’t see a universe in which content is gated behind limited tokens. Besides, we already have limited glamour and minions, so even if this is an extension of that it’s what we already have.

    Am I odd because I won’t pay some scalper $100 for a pizza emote?

    i didnt see a future where devs would sell dlc before it was even developed, but season passes are a common thing

    Yeah, it didn't take long before you started seeing things like fighting games released with half the roster sold as "optional purchases".

    And this is exactly what they want to have happen with NFT's in the game, people to say this kind of stuff.

    The route I see them going is starting an addon store for the game. Where people/other companies can make glam items or emotes and sell them as NFT's to other players. So lets say the creator makes 1000 of a really cool glam set. The item sell's out, and now other people are willing to spend a fortune to buy the glam set off other players. Meanwhile Square will sit back and charge lets say a 5% fee on each transaction of said outfit.

    This creation process would also allow them to approve or disapprove of what would be allowed. As I know they wouldn't let it turn into a free for all.

    But that will be the beginning of the end for the game. And most people I honestly believe would be ok with it to start with. The argument would be that you are supporting creators/modders by allowing them to sell their work in a legit manner.

    People just dont understand the madhouse it will devolve into. You already have plenty of people upset with just the mogstation. Wait till they see $1000+ NFT outfits or emotes lmao
