Cryptocurrencies are sinking again and I’m making it even clearer that I want to keep them out of video games.

NFTs have also consistently lost value in recent months.

For days I’ve been looking at charts, reading experts in the field, praying more than ever that the miracle will work… but it doesn’t come off the red screen. new cryptocurrency crash It caught many off guard, whose portfolios were exposed and risked hundreds and thousands of euros. I am one of them. So even though I’ve invested long-term, of course I’m nervous and worried. But I don’t want to bore you with my tragicomic life as an investor, because if I write about this crisis today, I’m mainly thinking of video games and the insistence of some big players in the industry to want to merge cryptocurrencies. NFTs and electronic entertainment as we know it.

No real benefit beyond pure digital asset collectionIt doesn’t matter how many times you repeat it. As much as they insist on the idea that NFTs and blockchain are the future of video games and that it will be good for creators and gamers; will serve to better protect the content. In the world of video games, I don’t want NFTs or cryptocurrencies. This is pure speculation. This is something that doesn’t give any real advantage beyond pure aggregation of digital assets seen as such, ok it will sell all the NFT images you want, but that’s it. I don’t even want to have blockchain-specific aesthetic content. Why are you forcing people to enter this speculation game? This reminds me of the times of Diablo 3’s controversial auction house. Maybe – if you think about it – your intentions are good, you want to value the items that players buy because yes, in this digital world even your DLCs and games can stop working on a nice day. With an NFT this would not happen. Whatever it is, it will be yours. But connecting it to video games has other ramifications.

I’m one of those who join the fire Axies Infinity and fuck time. With friends, we paid through the nose to build an extremely bad team, and after just a few days, the first major cryptocurrency crash I’ve experienced from the inside is BOOM. Our game-required bugs cost hundreds of euros… a little less than ten euros. Of course, everyone who came to play with a much smaller investment back then got equipment that was infinitely more powerful than ours. We’re stuck. We couldn’t sell it because we lost money, and we couldn’t play because it was impossible to win. Solution? Put in more coins to create a new team. So if this is the idea of ​​bringing cryptocurrencies and NFT to the world of video games, don’t trust me because it’s the opposite of fun.

To me it’s the opposite of what a video game should beI don’t want to look like the typical person who ignores cryptocurrencies and only appears on social networks to joke about those who invest in this technology. I understand the value of cryptos and believe that although NFTs have lost a lot today, NFTs will carry a lot of weight in the future; But don’t let the video game companies sing their praises and swallow both technologies. Except where the vast majority of creatives do not want NFTs or cryptocurrencies in video games.

The Xbox head said that some NFT games are more exploitative than fun, and he’s right. Months after entering Axies Infinity, we are still trying to exit this game without losing money. We play to win back the investment. Again, it seems to me the opposite of what a video game should be. I’m here to have a good time and no matter how well they draw, I’m sorry but these games feel more like a job than a hobby.
