Crypto Games Are Beyond Desperate (so we pranked them)

Thank you again to Quin and the team at Red Eclipse for helping to make this one of the most enjoyable videos I've made thus far. Show them some love; and if you do, tell 'em Jauwn sent you!

The fact that Vag strike didn't even make their own server, so Red Eclipse was able to push an update into their copied game is beyond hilarious.

“They shut their game down because they saw me in their discord” You’ve earned that flex dude lmao, talk to em

"The jokes write themselves." No they don't, first some "developers" had to ask ChatGPT to write the jokes, then they added microtransactions to the jokes.

5:50 um excuse me they don't RECOMMEND the 400 dollar package they RECOMMED it. totally different things.

Jauwn shutting down Vage Strike's website with his mere presence followed by Quin updating the source code to brick the game is such a tag-team power move. Absolutely legendary

Here from Red Eclipse. Thank you for your help and happy to have you with us! Sad and pathetic what scammers are getting up to these days, especially when they aren't even making an actual playable game in the process but are too lazy to bother simulating one playable level just to make it look legit.

"Hash and slack" would actually be a good genre, make the whole game look like a drug-trip and not require much effort.

18:54 I had an aneurysm over this steam locomotive. From what I can see: It's an Atlantic (4 leading wheels, 4 driving wheels, 2 trailing wheels) that looks like it's from the 1930's trying to pass itself off as a Ten-Wheeler (4 leading wheels, 6 driving wheels, no trailing wheels) from the 1880's. The handrails around the smokebox (the front) look like they took it off another locomotive and slapped it onto the design, the pilot at the front looks like a short skirt compared to a cow-catcher pilot that would be there.The smokestack looks like someone squashed an actual shotgun stack from a locomotive from the 1800's. The whole running board looks modern. There's pipes that go to nowhere. The air compressors don't look connected to anything. The headlight looks like an electric one-compared to the oil lamps that would actually be used. The domes look like they took if off a Baldwin-pattern from the early 1900's. The cab looks like it was actually made out of steel in real life but the devs made it look like wood. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE CYLINDERS LOOK ABSOLUTELY WRONG, THEY LOOK LIKE THE MOMENT THERE'S PRESSURE IN THEM, THE CYLINDERS CAPS SHOOT OFF BECAUSE YOU DESIGNED THEM THAT BAD IN THE FIRST PLACE.; WHY IS THERE A TUBE RUNNING FROM ONE CYLINDER TO THE OTHER, YOU DON'T NEED THAT, THE ONLY PLACES THE CYLINDERS ARE CONNECTED TO ARE THE CYLINDER SADDLE AND EXHAUST, AND BOTH OF THOSE THINGS AREN'T THAT. You can slow down the video and count the amount of times the wheels move. I fear what the inside of the cab looks like, because I can only imagine it looks as dogwater as the rest of that crypto game.

The fact that the Vagina Strike "developers" couldn't even be bothered to take screenshots themselves is fucking staggering. They couldn't even be bothered to remove the files that Steam puts there. It would've taken five, maybe ten minutes in total, and even that was too much work for them.

This 95 year old tech bro still makes their crypto the old fashioned way.

Welcome to crypto games! We have: -Lyra asset flips -Games missing nearly every basic feature -semi-competant games that literally don't need crypto integration -stolen

While there's a well-deserved focus on Red Eclipse, let's also not forget 0 AD, The House, and Edelweiss. Do give those games a check, they seem fun.

That whole "You can transfer a pickaxe from Minecraft to use in Call of Duty" thing will never make economic sense because game companies would much rather sell you 2 NFTs (one for each game) because then they both get a sale, or if they're already under the same umbrella (in this case, Microsoft) and do want to be nice and sell you only 1, *they can already do this without an NFT*, and it'll cost them far less to do so.

'Hash-and-slack' made my fuckin' day

That bit regarding the "Nigerian Entrepreneur" just screams Nigerian Prince scam 😂

16:18 Minor nitpick but Red Eclipse is using a very specific kind of Creative Commons license. CC BY-SA means that if I were to release Vage Strike, I'd have to 1. credit the original dev by linking the original project and 2. distribute Vage Strike under the same CC BY-SA license and since Quin didn't even know, clearly they never got permission to change that.

1:25 jauwn has become the grim reaper of crypto games

I’ve never heard of Red Eclipse prior to this video, so in a weird roundabout way their game getting stolen by a bunch of grifters might’ve actually been a blessing in disguise.

It’s funny that crypto bros will spend money on thousands of discord bots but hiring one artist is apparently too much
