Crowdfunding's CRYPTO console SCAM! - The Polium One

[@hgbugalou]

Web 3.0: charging for things that were free before and claiming technology that has existed for decades is cutting edge. Also 'powered by blockchain©™®

[@ezekieloruven]

Hey, claiming technology that has existed for decades is cutting edge is a time tested, well-worn path in the tech industry! "Now you can put it on the cloud!"

[@Morbos1000]

I love how there is a constant stream of people who think they've figured out some issue that multiple multi-billion dollar companies with an army of hardware and software engineers haven't figured out yet.

[@Markus0021]

In reality, a lot of them have just figured out that they can SAY they've figured out some issue that nobody else has figured out yet, and make a lot of money from a bunch of credulous people, before they get caught/shut down. Many of them KNOW from the beginning that they can't do what they claim (as opposed to a smaller group of naïve people that actually BELIEVE the pipe-dream that they are pushing in their literature). Not sure which is worse.

[@1Raptor85]

The funny thing about raytracing is it's inherently parallel, 8k 120hz is more than do-able already, all you have to do is throw enough cores at it(cluster a few high end video cards and they can do it just fine). Them saying they've "found a way" to do 8k 120hz is hilarious because the only way to do that in a smaller footprint is...smaller cores! (Which TSMC should have a 4nm process available this year, but that just means even nvidia/ati are a few years from using that process), so it's even worse than you think it's not even a hardware/software engineering issue, it's a material science issue making small enough transistors to make it possible, it's not something that can just be "solved". Anyone who puts a cent of money into that box is a complete rube, they don't even know what they're talking about, much less what they're doing.

[@TheCommanderTaco]

@@1Raptor85 as Pat and Ian have stated as it stands right now they aren't charging for the box yet, but the permission to be allowed a box lol. They are being charged for Crypto that if it isn't a rug pull like so many suspect will give one access to claim a console. For your preorder money you aren't even guaranteed a console lol.

[@TheCommanderTaco]

@@kurierlepszejwiadomosci I see where you are coming from but the thing about this project is it's coming from the least liked section of a market. As Slopes stated many gamers are not interested in Crypto, and as Pat and Ian have stated if they are interested in Crypto then they most likely already have a computer running the web 3.0 stuff. It makes the purpose of the console seem pointless as the market they are trying to reach is not interested in what they have to preach lol. Also we are still in the middle of a highly devastating Crypto crash which just makes the timing of their announcement all the more hilarious.

[@solarstrike33]

Honestly, _way_ back in 2013 when I first heard about cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin, I actually genuinely had some hope it was going to be the currency of the future, with how the world was being unified with the Internet and it would be all one unified, connected world, we'd need a currency to match the future. Then again, I still had _way_ too much faith in society back then; plus I didn't know about the inner workings of how it worked at the time. It's one of the biggest regrets I've had for anything in a while, and I never even invested even a cent into it.

The problem with 3.0 is that it's all blockchain obsessed, meaning you can NEVER be rid of something. It would be an absolute win for stalkers. Also, play-to-earn will never take off, because the only other people playing are also trying to earn nonsense to sell to suckers. It's the same reason NFTs have been a huge failure.

I have the same question about this that I had about the Ouya: how does something that compact cool itself consistently, especially if they're supposed to play for hours to buy more crypto? Most of what this thing will do is sit there, steal your money, and MELT.

[@rivetsquid8887]

That's fair. The switch has to use a specialized heatsink of a dock and it still does some wild graphical stuff if you try any marathon gaming. For this thing to have the graphics they claim? Impossible.

[@sijplays918]

@@rivetsquid8887 At least the Switch is thin. I could be totally off on this, maybe it doesn't work that way, but like...you could, in desperation, rely on the fact that cool air doesn't have to penetrate far to get to any given part. But this thing? It's thick enough that I would worry that the inner core would overheat super fast. (I've never actually gotten a Switch, so I can't agree with you based on experience, but I can definitely see how it's a problem. I guess I figured that between Nintendo being an established brand, and the fact it's so thin, it wouldn't have those issues, but that's good/interesting to know, genuine thank you for the info!)

@@sijplays918 I have a mini switch (or whatever the handheld only version is called) and I usually can only play it for 2 maybe 3 hours max (depending on the game) before it starts to get too warm for me and I'll give it a break to cool down. My gaming pc has extremely good ventilation and even it gets too hot for some of my games if I play too long. Something like this is gonna fry...

This is an advantage over the Ouya in the overheating department: this will never get past the stolen renders stage.

[@yoda908]

For them it's used as a scam. However BOSE company will tell you what the product is but will not give you much extra information. It's their company policy. When I asked about why they do that when places like Best Buy will give you the spec on the sound system; manager replied back BOSE expects the customer to either buy the product or don't. But I doubt BOSE block people on their website for asking questions about what a product is. Just won't give you a response when asking about the specs. At least that was their policy back in the early 2000s. Not sure now. Most likely the same.

[@BlazeMakesGames]

The ultimate Irony of "Crypto Gaming" is that probably the biggest group Cryptobros have pissed off even before the wider world started realizing how much of a scam the technology is, is gamers. Because they kept buying up and inflating the price and scarcity of high-end video cards. There's literally only like 2 big markets for Video Cards, Gaming and Crypto. And a single Cryptobro might buy like 10 or a 100 cards while a gamer only needs one or two at most. So they piss off all the high-end gamers trying to build a powerful PC, only to suddenly start coming around and trying to invade the gaming space directly by offering new and inventive ways to spend money on in-game purchases, another thing gamers as a whole hate. They literally could not be trying harder to antagonize gamers.

I had heard about this and was curious about why you assumed it wasn't feasible since there's no reason somebody couldn't throw together a crypto-focused console using off-the-shelf hardware, commission a few terrible low-budget games for it and sell it to a bunch of crypto bros, but I didn't know that it was also claiming to have ridiculous specs as well. I'm not even sure that those impossible performance promises were even necessary since I doubt that the sort of people who like to buy and sell virtual hats care if those hats are rendered in 8K at 120 frames per second; I think they're just interested in finding another sucker to buy their hats.

hey (saying this again!) I probably should post this on a more recent video of yours mr. Slope; but just a friendly notice that your website link as in your description of the video, goes to some sketchy “buy this domain” placeholder website. Is that a mistake like in the url ? Or ..? Well just lettin ya know, thanks for the great videos either way!

[@auqustfire]

ARM64 and x64 is just hilarious and makes me question their hardware and software experience lmaoooo

[@teletrong1]

I can’t believe this Slopes defended the Amico and Tommy Tallarico.

[@teletrong1]

Repeatedly too even after the SEC disclosure came to light with all the terrible spending and the last ditch StartEngine failed. Slopes even released a weak video defending Tommy and the Amico as a potential toy for high earners when it’s obvious the product has no market and all of its launch games are garbage.

[@XanthinZarda]

@@teletrong1 Don't forget the hour long Johnson stroking interview he had over on his ExtraSlope channel.

As soon as they said custom Nvidia you you know it's a scam as Nvidia would not spend millions in r,n,d to design a chip specifically for that and the current size it would need a liquid nitrogen self contained cooling loop or equiv, and the price would be extortionate. Reminds me of Elon musk promise the world and then play it down over a period of time reducing its specs then deliver a cup of dirt.

[@gmti486]

So quick to call this a scam, yet you defended the Amico and Terence Talamanca so much.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

The fact you'll cover this joke of a system, this early in the game but *still* won't give the Amico a proper walloping is a really bad look. If you keep waiting for the Amico to be "over", but won't extend that to other garbage, that really comes off as a double standard and you playing favorites.

[@GuppyCzar]

He doesn't want to upset his fanboy crush. He's already destroyed his reputation for outing scams, so sure why not double down by showing everyone how out of touch he was about Amico.

[@SomeOrangeCat]

@@GuppyCzar Yup. Not even so much as an "I fucked up, guys!"

Hes already said hes got a video on it coming up. He even acknowledged its failure in this video.

Play to earn will never go anywhere because it only attracts people who want play to earn and that means there's no way to get money into the system from actual gamers. Blizzard tried this with Diablo 3 and it was a spectacular failure. They eventually had to pull the real money auctions out. Adding a complicated blockchain technology doesn't change that

[@shaymorcormick8743]

I legit just was reading a story on this about 6 hours ago and just knew it would end up here

[@maaadkat]

The weird thing about "blockchain games" is that they all seem to boil down to gambling, or to buying "unique" assets with real money in the hope of them being worth more than the trillion other "unique" assets in the future.

Why couldn't crypto bros settle for just making graphics cards impossible to get for gamers, now they've gotta push this tech into gaming too?

Looking back at this now, I can’t help but wonder whether they’ve added AI to it.

No, it's better. It has Bitcoin attached to it! What can go wrong? Lmao.

You pick such great and obscure music. I know a game with the initials "MP" from playing it back in the day but also don't know anyone else who did. Your using it is like a shout out to anyone who did play these games. I know the Streets of Rage menu theme not from Genesis, but from Game Gear.

[@rainbowbunchie8237]

Completely out of the blue here, I know, but ARM and X86 can coexist on any system. ARM is just an architectural base, and can be equal to X86 in speed and capability. ARM is found, for example, on your solid state drive, or as the controlling head of other add-in components. There's little reason the two couldn't work in tandem on one chip.

[@rautamiekka]

Exactly. I was thinking that they could be accelerating something with ARM (which has already been done), but this whole thing is such a scam.

Had this video on my Watch Later for a while and finally got a mo to sit down and watch. Honestly, everything I see to do with crypto ends up like this - just people looking to make a quick buck! Really appreciated you sharing your views on this and very glad to see there are other content creators as well who aren't impressed with the crypto stuff. Keep on being awesome Slopes!

I'm glad there's other people that think nft does not belong in the gaming market (I believe nft itself is a pure scam)

[@Choralone422]

From the very moment I first read about this "console" a couple of weeks ago my scam alarm went off something fierce. I'm sure the cryto bros are out there trying to make this thing sound like the best thing ever to happen to gaming since the crypto market is one big ponzi scheme. I'll be looking forward to future videos of the inevitable crash and burn of this thing!

This is what the Ouya would have been had it released in the 2020s instead of the 2010s.

This non-existent device is bad, but I'm still glad to see you point out that the logo design is not unique to the Gamecube. I saw people focusing way too hard on claiming they just flipped the Gamecube logo around instead of on the fact that the whole concept is fucked.
