Mobile gaming is such a joke. I am pretty sure that good - nay - great mobile games exist, which are fun, play well, etc. The thing is, that finding them is like when you try to find your lost earring in a sewage container... When mobile gaming started being a "thing", I was really excited. I loved playing games, and at that time I was spending a lot of time commuting on a train or on an underground, so it seemed to be a good idea to try them. But soon it turned out that most of them are just cashgrab shit, so I lost interest pretty quickly. From time to time I try to look for something, but not much luck so far.

I think the other game you covered perfectly sums it up. These crypto gamers want two tiers of players. They want to have NFT land so that they can be the land owners and then the rest of us gamers are serfs, playing the game on their virtual NFT land, earning THEM money while we “play” the game and use our PCs to process blockchain transactions. It’s unreal the disconnect that they don’t realize people don’t want to be serfs in both real life and in their video games.

[@TOFTS77]

Its the mobile game mentality. Look at thew largest mobile games and you will see they make their bank off of whales. I got into Galaxy of Heroes a Star Wars mobile game. I spent around a 100 dollars in a few months on character packs and resources. I eventually hit a wall and talked to members of the community and found out that the top tier players spent around 10k a month to stay on top. By the numbers it was like 2% of the player base generates more revenue for the company in a month than the other 98% combined in a year. The trick is though to keep those small minnows swimming around so the big guys can feel like they are dominating a large community.

His one comment about "I've played every major title, you can't make blanket statements because you don't even know me" sums up his major problem all in one go. You are attacking blockchain games, which he has tied his entire identity to (seemingly unconsciously) and he is taking it personally. When someone critiquing a thing (that you had nothing to do with creating) and you are taking it as a personal attack, take a step back and try to figure out why. Also, as a general heads up to future crypto-game defenders, you need to understand that it's not just blockchain that turns gamers off. If you can purchase things in a game in any way for real money that go beyond cosmetics, you are turning away probably 95% of your potential playerbase right away. SOME free to play games can go pay to win and do alright because they are free to play. Crypo games are not free to play (some might be. but let's be honest it would probably be more fun to strike your own dick with a hammer than play a crypto game as a free player) and often require a substantial investment just to get started, and on top of this have the worst type of pay to win economy you can imagine. Nobody wants to deal with that shit. These games are never going to take off.

[@NewNecro]

That's all on top of generously assuming there's any intent of actually releasing it when the hype is the sole thing keeping it alive.

[@InVinoVeratas]

This comment. I feel that so much, whenever I see any ties to additional payment to merely playing a game, I no longer see it as a good investment of time or entertainment, it's just an investment, and one you're going to lose at. I can't imagine that sort of feeling, heightened while playing at higher stakes of monetization when it comes to Crypto-games, with lower gameplay mechanics, there's just nothing there, you'd literally be better off spening your money, at a Casino, than investing in cyrptobro's defending their pyramid schemes called "games".

Damn, my friend is pretty autistic and he's exactly like what you described. He can't seem to get it through his head that not everyone likes the same things, instead he gets personally offended if I criticize anything he likes.

It's like he doesn't understand that him liking something doesn't make it objectively the best thing ever and fully expects anyone he tells about his newest interest to instantly get on board and praise him for being a genius because he's the one who "gets it". He also proselytizes all of his interests to others like he's some special prophet who understands what us mere mortals never will, at least without his help. When I see cryptobros take things personally I can't help but feel that it's not the autism that makes my friend behave like this, because not all cryptobros are autistic. I've realized it's more likely just narcissism that makes them unable to understand that they're not the world's smartest person who's always right about everything.

This kind of attitude bothers me a bit, because it's too close to (and may even be indicative of) more toxic attitudes I've encountered. I've met people, both online and in real life, who simply can't enjoy a game unless they know their opponent is miserable. They can't simply enjoy both players having fun; they can only enjoy the game if you're miserable (and likewise, if you're having fun, they're miserable). It's not quite the same situation, but it sounds like a similar underlying attitude to me.

[@dinoden3006]

​@@Samas_R_Counts Exactly, that comparison doesn't work because each Pokémon game is a closed world and in that world there is only one Mewtwo, so in universe it is super scarce.

I think I learned something from this video. When Kira first covered this project, I was somewhat confused by why they'd keep mentioning stuff you can do if you own property, but never mentioned what the non-owners would do. I mean, even if the goal is to someday own land (which only a limited number of people can do), there has to be something to draw people in in the meantime, right? But watching this guy, and his attitude that scarcity is what matters in a game, tells me that they're not concerned with drawing in the masses. They're just trying to appeal to the folks whose idea of a good game is having something they can lord over the have-nots. (I'm sure this realization isn't a revelation to most, but I've only recently started seeing videos about cryptogaming and the folks who support it.) But if the games don't offer a fun experience for the have-nots (other than hoping to someday be one of the lords), why would they join this game, or stick around once they do? And if there are no have-nots, and the only players are ones who bought stuff to lord it over others, who are they lording it over? By focusing exclusively on the people who want to be super-special, you'll end up with only the super-specials in the game. And when everyone's super, no one will be.

[@MaegnifiqueVODS]

People want to be the lord and command the peasants, without thinking that in a game you need peasantsto be okay with the fact they are under the lord It's power fantasy. They want to be the one in control for once. If they need to, they'll pay to have this illusion...

[@sociallyineptclownprincech8731]

Essentially these guys that get into the ground level of these “games” the ones that actually make money are essentially into it in order to pass the bag onto someone else. Crypto games are essentially like the card game Old Maid. You don’t want to be the one holding the Old Maid at the end of the game. If you are the one holding the NFT at the end of the game you are the one who lost because you are the only one who couldn’t get someone else to take the Old Maid off your hand thus you are the only one who didn’t get their money back

[@flaco777]

Also these games don't last. The devs and schills like the guy in the video hawking them only stick around long enough to pump and dump. Hell, 99% of them don't even make it out of what they call alpha testing which in most cases isn't even that in the general gaming market.

When you're free to do anything, why do anything at all. Limitation in life, feeds that need to desire something special and unique in life, but if you just have that experience handed to you?

These games are simply a bad business idea. What do you do with a bad business idea? You drop it and move on despite whatever you personally think. The market decided quite a while ago now that no one wants this stuff. Trying to force a bad idea on the market because they're just positive people want it will ruin them. They are too personally invested in these projects and need to stop being emotional about them. This isn't a new widget they poured sweat and blood into in a shed in their backyard while everyone laughed at them but they're acting like it is. It's this "hustle" mentality that drives people to side-gig treadmills and get rich quick schemes that never pan out.

[@ssvensic]

The thing is you don't have to defend a good game, it defends itself.

[@thatchick1205]

10/10 response. I love how he thinks them not being “stock assets” is a win. It’s not. It just shows how lazy it is.

[@endorenna7106]

I feel like I just watched Kira's soul slowly seep out of his body, and I should apologize to him for laughing at it so much. But it was so funny and frustrating...

[@mellowm8552]

Just imagine when you're in a game, and instead of gold your bank account ballance is shown for how much money you have. That is pure horror, i'm already scared to look at my bank account

[@severalwolves]

1:07:04 yeah right - if this guy is 35 he wasn’t playing Atari growing up. I’m 39 and the only people I knew who had ever touched anything pre-NES were my much older cousins.

[@MrImmortal709]

So nice of loserbro to give you so much material you can make into content :D

[@GoldElderDragonz]

anybody that says "i have played every major title" did not play every major title. That's a REALLY LARGE list and gives me a lot of doubt. Ok maybe he played COD releases or one or two MMOs or battlefields etc but just those i listed is a TON of your time each day. I highly doubt you truly played every major title. But, maybe his definition of major title is different than mine.

[@PointsofData]

"Major title" also is a hilarious term. Do you mean triple A titles? Games that are making waves? Positive OR negative? Games that won GOTY? Games that are considered significant titles in the history of gaming? Because those all have different implications for what he played. Especially the "making waves" one because that implies he played stuff like Garten of BanBan and Gollum (although Gollum was not out yet but it's still very funny to think that.) 😂😂😂 Yo does he know the deep lore of Five Night's at Freddy's? That's definitely a major title, so he must have played all the games!! Even the VR and mobile ones!! 😂😂😂😂

[@flankspeed007]

"When we switched to mobile gaming it was tough transition...No it wasn't they just don't play it." Nailed it again Kira. That guy is obviously not a gamer. I know no gamers who got rid of their consoles or pc's and just play games on their phones. This guy is right up there with that Blizzard guy as clueless and tone deaf "Don't you guys have phones?"

[@chaoticneutralfae]

I know absolutely no one who plays mobile games. Mobile ports? Sometimes, but most of my friends still had their portable nintendo or sony systems if they wanted to play on the go. There is nothing in a mobile game that I can't get out of a switch game, and I don't have to pay to win.

I wouldn't say criminal or unethical, as each and everyone of these idiots are attempting to "persuade" others to join in on their favourite money making scheme.

[@michaelbernard1597]

I love when he said he was excited for the game. Never mentioned what he was excited to do in it and instead basically said it's fun to interact with the people on the discord and give feedback. We all know the reality is what he is excited about when it comes to these 'games' is 'making money' which for people like him amounts to dumping his bags on his gullible audience. Also I'd eat my shoe if this guy has played a single game before he was able to monetize them on twitch or something.

[@Subjectivity13]

I don’t think this Gala shill deserved over an hour of Kira’s time, but it is content.

He may not of deserved it, but the rest of the world certainly appreciates it :)

[@callowguru2611]

There is one good use case for NFTs and gaming. Make a digital game an NFT so you can resell it when you're done. The whole game. The entire thing. Bring the used game market to the digital space. Thing is? NFT bros or game devs will never do this because it's not a way to line their pockets. They don't care about digital ownership. If they did, they'd put their money where their mouth is and let you sell the game when you were done with it.

[@Lenariet]

Exactly. Let me sell my digitial license to another player when I'm done. But strangely enough that's not on their agenda, even though it's been a demand players have been making since day 1 of DRM systems like Steam. It won't generate them any or enough money whereas reselling cosmetics and advantages still allows them to retain the overall control over stuff and most importantly keep the same players hooked. This is all a continuation of the predatory mechanics that F2P and mobile games introduced and not some kind of freedom cry for gamers. People really have to be naive to believe that nonsense.

[@rattlesnaik]

I feel like people don't talk about it but Kira is one of the funniest creators I follow. Not only are the videos informative and really interesting but they make me laugh out loud almost every time. I really think Kira could be a comedian if he wanted to. The comedic timing and quick wit is so good.

[@rifleman2c997]

If he wants to have his NFT game, fine more power to him. I wish him the best of luck. But we can see that these games are low effort with no passion.

[@superbad8008]

What gets me about Crypto enjoyers is that they honestly seem like people that do not play video games, which is fine. But then they start spreading the word about crypto games and hyping them up like they’re the next big thing. But they’re trying to sell snake oil to people who actually play games; people that will take one look at all the crypto stuff and rightly write it off as a scam.

[@zach-rac]

I finally understand why you call them 'brain broken'. Somewhere around the 20 min mark I found myself saying, out loud, 'but the only way you could actually think that is if your brain is broken' and then the crypto-guy opened his mouth. I just... wow. Imagine being that untethered from reality... What's it like in his world, I wonder? With all the crypto, I can't imagine it's much fun.. :'S (Which also happens to be a big reason crypto games will fail - they aren't goddam FUN my guy. Crypto isn't fun.)

[@zach-rac]

The game he himself is describing (around the 42 - 47 -ish min mark? [Edit: oh god, we're at the 56 min mark and he's still going. It's only getting worse....]) sounds like ACTUAL dog-shit to me. But what do I know - I'm just a gAMeR. ..(Wait, who was his target audience again....? /eyeroll )

That's true about viewership and sub count. I subbed to a couple of creators that I liked at the time but then they either didn't match what my opinion came to be or their content went in a direction that I didn't feel was entertaining to me so I still kept my sub to them but just check back periodically to see if their content or a video that I'm interested in is worth viewing. Meant to remove my sub from them but like everything else......Life happens...then you forget altogether.

[@gamesthatiplay9083]

Wasn't there a AAA dev that was in the industry for 20 years who then became a big project lead... but the twist was he had just been a sound guy for 2 decades.

[@amharbinger]

Did this guy say PC gamers went to mobile gaming? What sacrilege is this? The phase "Do you guys not have phones" is one of the most infamous statements uttered.

[@Lenariet]

Yes he did. Something died inside of me that very moment. :'[

[@Queldonus]

To the fans of crypto games: I don’t want an investment. I don’t want a better system of buying things in games. I don’t want that at all. I want to buy a game, and own the game. If its an MMO, give me a monthly sub. Its that simple. Please stop acting like this is the only model for game monetization, and that people are wrong for wanting nothing to do with crypto.

[@Enclave.]

Regarding interoperability Kira? You forgot to mention that we can already actually do that without the blockchain. As you said, companies have to come together to do it but it's absolutely something that is easily done if companies already want to and without the blockchain at all, it wouldn't actually add anything to the process except expense.

[@Lenariet]

It's just nonsense. Even if they decided to come together there would be massive limits to it. Games vary too much in scope, graphics, style, gameplay for assets to be transferable "just like that". Cryptobros seem to truly think that all it takes is the push of one button, presumably made possible by blockchain implementation. But that's obviously false. They are severly uneducated about game development and the games industry.

[@jd2792]

Its still will be a mess imagine making an action game that is build in mind with 8-5 diffrent wepons how will you be able to add other 100 diffrent wepons from an action rpg like elden ring into it.

[@PointsofData]

​​@@Lenariet I think a good example of the best we can hope for with this is Super Smash Bros Ultimate. It had many characters and assets from non-Nintendo properties, but it was built by an entirely Nintendo team who knew the Switch and the code and could translate the different characters to the game in their own artstyle. Fortnite also would be a good example, although Ultimate had custom fighting moves, stages and animations...but yeah...both were made by one team with reference material provided by outside sources. If either had multiple studios working on them, with thousands of different hands working on the coding and art, etc, they wouldn't be successes. They'd be miserable money sucking flops.

[@Disbird]

One thing you both didn't mention with all of this is that it takes the extra step to create a wallet and charge it up with crypto. When I wanna buy a wow token, I pay with PayPal and that's it. When I wanna buy crypto to buy something on open sea (and correct me if I'm wrong) I cannot simply just buy it with PayPal. I need to make a wallet, buy currency on an exchange platform (which sometimes asked for an ID like my passport besides making another account) and then I need to have an eye on it every damn day in case the market crashes. Sure that happens with fiat currency too, but that is backed by huge banks which won't let it fail so easy. If a crypto fails, no dev, no company will pump in the money to bring it back to its original or even a fragment of that. They just... Move on... When I resell my wow token I get money back for the blizz store which will roughly give me the same amount as store credit again which I can use to purchase other things which are worth the same.

[@Laynix.0]

I've played a lot of MMOs over the years, and generally, MMOs are the most fun when they come out and everyone starts out fresh at the same level. If NFT games are selling lands and gear before the game even comes out, it's already not that interesting for any new players.

[@Tnscla]

And you only have 50K players in the game lol Imagine a game that caps the max number of ppl that can play it.

[@yallia6197]

"I just spoke, you understood it perfectly" what a bold statement

[@lowwwery]

Always funny how these crypto projects attract a very specific kind of person. This honestly felt like watching a 12 year old trying to articulate his terrible argument, although the 12 year old would probably have been less smug throughout.

[@sharkisshark3476]

this reminds me of earth2 when they would sale "land plots" before the game was even being produced. its like the aaa companies tryed to add crypto stuff and nft's and they flop as a result, so if giant game compony cant even do it what makes these guys think they can make it. the reason they fail is because no one wants to spend money on useless pictures or games that are more about the ingame store then the game itself. in recent years ive seen games from giant companies fail because they want to add this kind of stuff.

[@patnev9296]

Actually find it insane how he keeps saying "you don't get it" but doesn't get why, regardless of gameplay, Blockchain games don't showcase their own speculative benefits and only showcase how gamers can be further taken advantage of.

Only way to settle this: Kira picks 5 non-crypto games he thinks ppl will still be playing in 2 years; this guy picks 5 crypto games ppl will still be playing in 2 years.

You know how you get 'exclusivity' in games without NFTs? You have the rare races or items be locked behind achievements or quests. Then they have that added prestige.

One of the things cryptobro there doesn't understand is that *you don't own NFTs*. You don't own the copyright to them. You don't own the IP. Your account is linked with a piece of data. That's it. Even if crypto-Fortnite wanted to use skins from crypto-Warframe, *they can't because they don't own the IP* "Oh, they'll just cooperate" What? What sane developer making a pay-to-win game is going to *actively encourage you to spend time in another game?* With daily bonuses and scheduled events, they're already trying to force you to spend literally all your available time in *their game*. Cryptobro is delusional.

I think one of the disconnects is that the crypto boys are not gamers, so they dont know what to expect from a game, so they have no idea how to put a value on the game, instead being drawn in by crypto, forgetting that the game needs to be good to keep the crypto going.

[@Bloodfencer1990]

he raises the point that transaction fees exist to support the developers... AFTER making a huge deal out of the ability to take your items and resources to ANY third party marketplace to sell them, meaning you will bypass the transactions fees for the devs and pay them to someone else. And if the devs claim transaction fees from you selling your stuff freely on the blockchain it's not really decentralized anymore, is it?

He is definitely the type of person who believes that if you just dream hard enough, it will come true. He is the type who goes down to the Porsche dealership and takes selfies with cars to make it look like he is successfull. He tweets from a fancy restaurant and then leaves before they bring him his water. He doesn't know anything about games. What he does know is how much he loves money and how badly he wants to be a rich guy, living in a mansion. I wants to live the Hugh Hefner lifestyle and he thinks crypto is the ticket. If it wasn't crypto, he would be selling vitamins, weight loss shakes, timeshares, etc. He isn't driven by making a good game. He is driven purely by money.

I know I'm late to the show, but I just love how this guy constantly references Diablo. I paid to purchase Diablo, Diablo 2, and Diablo 4. And, well, when I get bored of character and want to make a new one, I don't need to sell an old one. As a bonus, I can go back and play an old character without needing to buy it back. If I had to sell my barbarian (for a profit) to play a druid (I actually wanted to try a sorcerer but couldn't afford it), I wouldn't be able to uninstall quickly enough.
