They can't all be bad, right?

Happy New Year everyone! Here’s a long anticipated follow up to some of the first NFT games reviewed on the channel. Hope you all had a great year, and here’s to a 2024 full of “good crypto games” 😂
-
"Also, fix the dead horse issue" is such a beautiful line
-
“Terms and Conditions will be coming soon” is such a nuclear red flag what the hell.
-
Ironically, Jauwn is probably one of the very few people profiting from NFTs
-
I always love how crypto people say they want decentralization and for no one group to have control over the ecosystem, and then immediately try to recreate centralized authorities anyway, like those “verifier” services. Because shockingly it turns out you need centralized nodes of decision making and trust for a system to function on any level. Almost like organizing resources and people into centralized groups is necessary to achieve goals? Nah, that can’t be it.
-
"It'll get better. We're just early." It has been fifteen years since cryptocurrency got started. Let's make a comparison. World Wide Web entered public use in 1991. Fifteen years later, Facebook and YouTube had recently gotten started. Cryptocurrency seems to be going backwards, having largely abandoned aspersions of setting up its own system of economy and is instead largely used for extremely volatile investments and outright scams.

Silks is such a BAFFLING contradiction to the idea of an NFT. It’s value doesn’t come from the owning of the horse, it doesn’t give you exclusive betting right or real royalties from the horse. It’s only value is exactly what the company that sold it to you agreed to give you for it. If they chose to stop giving the royalties, it’s worthless and no different from if you were just using a normal form of data storage.

I'm genuinely impressed that Tamadoge turned into anything. Sure, all it became was a collection of generic, mediocre-at-best ripoffs of more popular mobile games, but all the games and their crypto integration is entirely functional! Kinda sad that this is arguably the high-water mark for crypto in gaming.
-
i keep thinking about what the silk thing must be like for the irl horse's owners? imagine having random people contact you to ask if your pet has died yet omg
-
Just so you know, it doesn't matter if Lucky Block was headquartered in the Cayman Islands if they were allowing entries from US customers. They would still be subject to US law for doing business in the US. To avoid being liable to US law they would require a good faith effort to exclude prospective US customers. However, they wont get in trouble if the victims don't contact law enforcement to report the scam and get the ball rolling.
-
Remember when one of the biggest arguments for NFTs in games was that you could transfer game items, like bringing a Diamond sword from minecraft into Call of Duty? We had that before, and it was called Garry’s Mod. But now with Fortnite, we have a game with every IP and item in one game without any NFTs.
-
Man the silks thing is just ludicrous, don’t know how anyone can justify spending money on stuff like that Love the new visuals btw
-
Jauwn gotta be rich AF by now playing all these NFT games.
-
Really good to get a follow-up to these, most channels point and laugh at an obvious scam then move on. Genuinely reveals how blatant the corruption is through other media outlets. Don't forget to keep doing a few fun retro reviews alongside these, they're bloody good as well
-
Love the followup. On some level it's nice to see that some of these aren't COMPLETE scams, but also I'm still never putting a penny into NFT "games".
-
What I love most about watching this channel is that the ads whilst watching these videos are all about earning “passive income on the internet” in the most dubious and stupidest ways possible, like Amazon dropshipping, shopify smth smth, audible audiobooks, etc etc.
-
I like when you said people say the games might get better over time and things chances but “crypto bros always say we just got here early” actually made me laugh lol.
-
Been awesome watching you grow over the year. Hope 2024 is even bigger for you Mr. Jauwnathan. Hope to see a Kryixsiva revisit at some point lmaoooo
-
17:26 "doesn't seem fair to be selling a horse that died" That made my day. It's something that makes sense in context, but it's hilarious outside of it.
-
Tamadogi is literally just a pay to win version of My Tamagotchi Forever. As someone who collects digital pets, it's just a bad game when you look at the competition. Heck, the Tamagotchi resale market is technically more profitable than Tamadoge even if I don't like resellers.
