pretty sure NFT videogames are an excelent case study for economic professors, right?



pretty sure some PHD economics boomer will write some thesis about why NFT games doesn't work.

no and yes

Why? No one outside of g*mers care about NFTs in video games, or video games in general for that matter. Also economics aren't science &amp; math.

still a nice case study for economic fags.

Memes aside, studying video games can be interesting to look at things like oligopolistic behavior (e.g. how video game companies use exclusives to lock people into their ecosystems) but it's not obvious to me that NFT games offer any interesting economic insights. But I'm not doing industrial organization so maybe I'm just not tuned in to that stuff.

NFT games are basically an exercise in testing what if we sell a product where the incentive is making money, and where the money to pay the customers come from.

>NFT videogames

Essentially don't exist, except as shitty tech demos made by cryptobros who wish such things would exist. 



To normal video game developers and publishers, there's no value proposition for NFTs. It is far better for them to operate a traditional centralized microtransaction/subscription service.

>Why? No one outside of g*mers care about NFTs in video games,

Wrong, gamers don't care for NFTs either. NFTs in video games is promoted by cryptobros (who have no experience making games, no genuine interest in gaming, and only wish to promote NFTs). Neither gamers nor the games industry wants NFTs in games.

> gamers don't care for NFTs either

Steam marketplace begs to differ. Skins for games is a huge market and right now Steam gets a 15% cut of every transaction on there. The only difference between Steam marketplace and game NFTs is that NFTs are decentralized and don’t have the Steam markup.

Fuck u muslim sandnigger, also fuck economics >>/biz/

Gamers care about buying cosmetics, DLC, etc. They don't care about that being done specifically using distributed NFT technology. Nor is it in the interest of Valve to make it so.



Therefore it's not going to happen.

What the fuck is an NFT videogame?

Can I play it for free? If so then it has no value.

a scam of crypto retards.



It's basically a ponzi.

The problem with NFT is that if everything is one of a kind then nothing is. Nobody is obsessing over gravel despite every piece of it being technically "one of a kind". Its how hard it is getting something that makes it valuable.

ageism is bigotry

You can play it for free, and earn trace amounts of free crypto, but it won't be any fun (unless you invest shockingly high amounts of crypto)

I think that's called a Ponzi Scheme since the only value of the NFT comes from using more people (Peter) who buy NFTs to play the game to pay the original players (Paul) which means they literally use Peter to pay Paul. This is more of a criminology case study

I don’t think it will be fun regardless of how much you invest. They’re all designed to be the bare minimum of shovelware or bad copies of already existing games with NFTs shoehorned in.
