The whole idea seemed bananas to me. Game design is a serious, mature business, you need something really compelling these days to make a hit indie game. Crypto dudes trying to shoehorn a game into a crpto platform and expecting it to take off seems like an absurd longshot.
I think you’d be much better off going to Blizzard and try to pitch a way to shoehorn crypto into an existing online game economy rather than come up with a hit online game from scratch.
NFTs as in game items in Blizzard games (some rare Diablo / WoW equipment) and EA Ultimate team (ultra rare player cards) already exist without the NFT part. The gold rush of people paying 6 figures for 5 lines of text (Loot) or the staking / farming 8 bit stuff is just pure nonsense.
You will only get people from poor countries to play bad games and farm coins out of desperation. And even then some of them are spending time boosting accounts on good games for $.
You can’t compete in the gaming business if you make shit games. And it takes a lot of money to produce good games now.
