@Iffine @LolikingSama it's a web3 game. It invovles crypto, yes.

@LolikingSama Wait this is worse than I thought, they're not just a gacha tied to crypto, they're outright running a crypto scam under the veil of a gacha that will release. They've been actively encouraging buying and holding crypto they're partnered and sponsored by with rewards and more crypto. Game probably wont ever release, and the crypto partnerships will likely be rugpulled in the near future for maximum profit.
Despite all this crypto and investment encouragement, the game's only trailer is pitiful. The "action" is mostly unity store stuff. Basic healthbar, no text, no other UI, a generic minimalist world. It reeks of a cheap game made quick when the only unique parts are the models and art. There's not even any projected platforms for the game nor mention of being a gacha (though we all know it will be). I don't think this game's all that far into development from what little is here, mostly just the initial concept and basic gameplay demo. There's another trailer posted earlier with greater detail, but it's also never all that special.

@LolikingSama As someone else earlier on Varis brought up, this game was dead in the water regardless. The last thing a gacha needs is a tie to fucking crypto and techbro garbage.

@Iffine @LolikingSama tbh i was going to play that game regardless, but since they are backing down due to antis retardedness, nah, fuck them. They dont hold any spine.

@ryuuji @LolikingSama They're not all that forthcoming with that until you see the crypto connection (they seemingly understand the negative image and don't mention web3), but yeah it was a given.
I can't wait for Web4 where we do privacy but not tie it to some retarded techbro concept that fundamentally doesn't work for most of the net. Or it could just be techbros making crypto 2, an even more complicated and worse system (which currently is what all investment firms are hoping for). Your choice really.

@LolikingSama Yep. They have been partnering with a bunch of crypto/NFT groups/companies and will apparently have their own crypto currency. :vomit:

@LolikingSama Honestly, after looking into them a little, even if they did backpedal, I wouldn't be interested. Game seems to have a strong NFT/crypto focus :kekw:

@ninja8tyu @Immahnoob @LolikingSama @Ronnie21093 Now I'm imagining: Instead of training umas to race, Trainer-san trains umas for warfare against other umas :guraKekw:
