The infamous playible mtg cards that "can't" be physically reprinted are only 'reserved listed' as long as Wizards & Hasbro keeps their word to not reprint them. Unlike nfts, Wizards can (and almost did multiple times) change their minds and print out new black lotuses once they figure out how to weasel out of their already shaky promise from 25+ years ago. Nfts are by design; "non fungible tokens".

Honestly, if they just focused on not making their characters in Hero Forge and made it a gacha, I could at least see the game at least receiving a modicum of success. But the whole NFT thing kind of made it dead on arrival. NFTs are a thing of the past, nobody wants them and it generally makes the game a miserable experience from start to finish. Getting into the game sucks because you now have to hyperanalyze a Google Sheet and HOPE you don't buy bad champions (and don't break the bank for it), playing the game sucks because now you will inevitably bump into people with the "You Cannot Play The Game :tm:" team that just makes you regret your decision. And since it's all NFTs, it's not like you really can grind out some currency and hope you can get lucky with some free pulls. You're just fucked at that point. NFT games are such a backwards concept I fail to see how any project director can look at it and think that it would take off.

God you just reminded of that NFT Eden project that Ubisoft is doing (Idk if they cancelled that however so correct me if I'm wrong). Essentially they're making an NFT game with graphics similar to The Sandbox based on the show Captain Lazerhawk, which yes is the show where Rayman is a celebrity and TV host and goes rouge against the company that made him famous, Eden, because he finds out that he's used as propaganda to hide discrimination against non human creatures. I'm pretty sure the whole thing of Captain Lazerhawk is that the cyberpunk future sucks ass so making an NFT game based on that is super funny to me. There was also a whole thing where Rayman fans on twitter got pissed off after the NFT reveal because we hadn't had a mainline game in a decade and the account that announced the game, in-character as the Eden cooperation, taunted them, which made everyone ratio and scold them until they deleted the tweet. So yea, some pretty interesting stuff. I hope that the game is cancelled though.

May I also mention the whole games aesthetic is straight up stolen from Darkest Dungeon? The Font, The hud style, even the primary colours and icons? Its blatantly coping that games style! Again sure you cannot be always fully original and you will see a lot of similarities but the entire game reeks of stolen ideas

Hey, in case you're not aware yet, Ubisoft released another NFT game: Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E. Rayman is apparently in it. To nobody's surprise, it's in early access, is described as incredibly basic and barebones, has tons of useless and worthless NFTs, and seems to have less than 100 total playrs on the leaderboards - all of this according ot Stephen Totilo.

@danaohdeliciouswhite8515 Also with platforms like Steam existing, it assures a publisher can keep making sales long after the game's release date, so frankly could be argued it's better anyway to not try to trend market, lest your game end up horribly dated and no one buys it after its boom. As for online games, they don't have longevity after the trend dies and their playerbase migrates somewhere else. Dev cycle just compounds these issues.

Honestly, even Gacha games are less predatory than NFT or Crypto games In a Gacha game, 99 times out of a hundred, the basic starting gear/characters that the game gives you will be enough to complete the game's content, and you're typically given ways of earning in-game currency in an at least slightly reasonable time. It's not much sure, but it damn sure beats "sink $400 or you physically cannot play this game that we advertised as free"

Feel free to take this as “My uncle who works at nintendo” talk. It doesn’t surprise me Ubisoft released this. They put a lot of money into making their marketplace, by the time they got their service ready for use the NFT craze had already died down. Rather then accepting the lost bet, they really tried to hold on because of what had been made already. Not that it was a lot (finished). That’s all second hand rest is conjecture. I wouldn’t be surprised if this just a project they had gotten to a functional stage, saw the reception after the market reveal and just pulled most of the team off the project. It’s more just wishful thinking that the higher ups finally decided to cut their loses with NFTs but I also doubt that
