And I'm responding as such.Okay, I did misunderstand you there. Sorry. Why did Chaosium choose to go the NFT route with VeVe? To hoodwink or scam their customers and fans? Or was Chaosium hoodwinked by VeVe . . . or by the shadowy allure of NFTs in general?I would guess that someone high up at Chaosium wanted in on the new trend, the new hotness, and seriously misjudged the backlash from folks who consider NFTs a harbinger of the apocalypse. They saw a potential interest from some of their fans, and decided to capitalize on it. Was it a good idea? Certainly not in hindsight, probably not even at the time of the decision. But . . . a scam? An effort to deceive and cheat Call of Cthulhu fans?Why NFTs and not some other delivery system? I'd guess that VeVe offered them a complete solution, making the creation of the digital products easy. Could Chaosium have released digital art pieces via some other method? Sure, but is there a turnkey solution out there just waiting for that scenario? I honestly don't know, but even if there is, was Chaosium aware of it, and is it "hot" like NFTs are?</blockquote>
