Message: <blockquote data-quote="Art Waring" data-source="post: 8730393" data-attributes="member: 7037141">So I am in the trenches making an rpg, and this year we have hired an excellent freelance artist at the rates they asked for, and the artist was absolutely our top pick. However, having found an artist, I like to be careful, so I went looking around for a backup artist and found some disturbing trends a few months back.----> Some freelance artists, including artists that work on RPG's, are minting NFT's. [Note: I have absolutely no problem with artists earning a living, I myself am a freelance artist]. I am posing a question, not any definitive statement about artists making a living or their individual choices.`Linked at the bottom is the most informative video on why NFT's are destructive, both for the environment and for society, the video has a complete rundown on NFT's if you have not seen it yet.EDIT: Ok, it seems like I have mistakingly posed my original my question in a way that was interpreted as a statement, which it absolutely was not intended to be. I apologize for any misunderstanding.The question was: am I, an indie creator, responsible for what artists produce beyond what I have hired them for?Should I have to be accountable for an artist that I hire, and ensure that they aren't involved in NFT's?I know it's a sensitive subject, but if we could please have a polite conversation on the subject it is very much appreciated.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g" target="_blank">Line Goes Up</a></blockquote>
