Software developer try not to make a crypto scam challenge (impossible)
As soon as ANYTHING launches a crypto coin or nft. You leave, it’s dead, it’s a scam
Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers
I don’t know about you but I think there’s only two valid “economic models” for video games :
- ongoing subscription for MMOs specifically
- one-time purchase for every other game
Fortnite, league of legends, any other freemium game?
There is a correct way to do that but no one does it :
- Sell items for real currency directly
- No loot boxes
- No time limits, including battle passes. All items are always available for purchase.
- Every item purchasable individually outside of any bundle
- And of course, reasonable prices.
That’s just dlc
Freemium not valid. Burn it.
while enabling consumer incentives only possible via programmable dollars.
The fuck do I need incentives for, just make a good game. Oh that’s right, these incentives aren’t for the consumers, they’re to take advantage of them.
That’s why Playtron is excited to announce Game Dollar, the stablecoin built for games and ready to handle massive transaction volume over the next decade,” said Kirt McMaster, co-founder and CEO of Playtron. “Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers and marketplaces while enabling consumer incentives only possible via programmable dollars.”
What’s wrong with the stablecoins that already exist I wonder?
They can’t rugpull them, they probably also want to own the transaction fees.
Highest effort rugpull attempt. Just create a coin called good investment coin and pay an influencer to promote it. So much easier than trying to get the Linux community to buy into this.
obvious cashgrab
Don’t know what he’s talking about, they’ve planned cryptocurrency integration since day 1.
Eww
Any chance they actually had is now gone
I’ve only seen a few videos about Playtron, but I was under the impression that the crypto stuff was always part of their project from almost day 1.
Yeah, I’ll pass. If I want a GameOS I’ll just go SteamOS, Arch, or Nobara. I donate to things I like and leave if they start grabbing at my wallet. I know donations are slim in most projects and its a major problem, but cryptocurrency is not the answer.
Lutris, Steam, and Retroarch will cover everything I need. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Sounds bit like mobile phone based “pay to play” games.
