[QUOTE="Smackpixi, post: 8551673, member: 7028579"] So, it’s clear that Caosium is very much on board with selling overpriced nothings to their fans for money, why wouldn’t they, like Disney and others, this NFT scam is GREAT business, it cost nearly nothing to produce, sells for absurd amounts, it’s free money from suckers. Treating your fans as suckers to grift is why there’s hostility. But wait, Veve is not a scam like other NFTs because you can’t get your money back, you can’t sell your Veve naughty word for real money, and while you’d think that would make it even more of a scam, the opposite is true. This is why real brands like it. Normal NFTs are a straight up grift, Veve is instead just the worst possible pay to win game. It’s a game because its a closed system, you can’t get your NFTs or money out. So you pay a silly amount of money to buy into the game, use your in game gems to get some “NFTs” and then sit on them, use the games augmented reality tools to take a picture of yourself next to the image of what your NFT points to in their system. Maybe you sell them for more than you paid in in game, and then take those in game currency gems and buy some other NFT things. Since they have a closed system with no cash out option, so long as they meter new item drops to the amount of new money buying, the system won’t crash, and in fact ever escalate if the new sucker gem buyins exceed the value of the new item drops. It’s a game, if you’re playing for fun, you just augmented reality selfie next to your fictions, if you’re playing to win, you trade this in game stuff to escalate your gems, your in game currency. it’s pay to win cause you can always spend more real money to increase your in game currency. The only reason that stupidest of stupid games VeVE is running uses NFT blockchain is because it’s the new hotness and gives the appearance of real value, it’s an NFT! They don’t need to, closed system is a game, your NFTs can’t exit, nor can your money. But saying NFT and using blockchain, appearance of value. Such horrid naughty word. [/QUOTE]
