The First SE NFT.

Backed up by a custom blockchain (Efinity) that creates 5,062 tonnes of CO2 per DAY.

SE is about a year and a half too late on this train.

So a physical item with a limited time digital only thing attached to it. Sounds just like the statues or CDs that come with a limited time code for something in-game.

Hate NFTs but it's not surprising they'd use a proven sale method to test the waters. Oh well there's a sucker for every market.

What's frustrating is that they really don't need to embrace NFT's in order to make money - they've still got a lot of beloved older games that they could remaster and release to massive success.

that would require spending money on a group of people to make,play test,marketing etc etc

Idk. I guess this doesn't bother me all that much. I say let it fail like Ubisofts. I've yet to see the games take a hit in quality (with 7R being a top FF imo) so I'm not to worried. Now if the later DOES happen that'll be a different story

It takes like 3 seconds to make an NFT, it's not at all reflective of their (lack of) funding or effort in other areas. It's just cheap, low-effort techbro pandering, nothing more. If anything, it's just reflective of how horrid their business sense is, but that's been the case for the past 20 years.

I'd say "there's no need to doompost about it" but it's still actively fucking up the environment, so uh, yeah. Still plenty of doomposting material.

My own disgust with NFT's aside, this seems like really crappy timing on their part since NFT interest has been cratering across the board.

[Gameovers]

Time for Sony to buy SE.

[DiaDeem]

Right as Minecraft banned all NFT/Blockchain activities in the game.

Give it some time. This bullshit will die...
