   Somehow my GOG account disappeared. It was from 2013. I hate it when companies do this. What would it hurt to keep around an account forever.

     web3 game stores in the style of gog with drm free installers and 3rd party patches will be the only platform that will survive. every other centralized game service will collapse. steam included. gog should go full web3, no accounts, no fiat payments, no privacy invasion of details, just wallet proof of ownership, and buying with crypto.

     made millions on avax. off the grid is pretty fun. we did ok for what it is. fiatbros bagless and salty they missed the boat yet again. and not technically informed enough to navigate this new way of doing things. imagine wanting glowniggers to decide who has paypal/creditcards. steam can take your account or refuse your card transactions and there is nothing you can do about it. they're coming for steam. crypto crowdfunding is the future. web3 without email address linked accounts is the best thing that could happen to your privacy, and the only way militantly non-DEI games will get funded. why do you need permission to buy/own shit, and then get told you didn't own it at all really? trustless permissionless web3 is the only way. @RatPoster has a long running argument with me that real world currency games on web3 and crypto will happen. for some reason some are really malding about each day getting closer to it. its gonna happen and is inevitable.

I guess I qualify as an industry insider fwiw, I was neck-deep in NFT stuff the last multiple years.

     Modern games suck tbh, since normies took over the quality's taken a nosedive. I like some of the indie games that have been released fairly recently, but most of them end up with woke troon devs sperging out and/or self destruction of their games... If they even get out early access.

     @harrypotter @sun @Sui @Bad_Banner No the arguement is that crypto will never be a good foundation to build a game on. Gaming is an entertainment medium, and you actually need to make something that people will want to engage with. Replace crypto with fiat currency and the fact is the same. You need to make good games first, you double nigger. If gamers can only use crypto to buy shit games, then why would they bother?

     the same happens in fiat with any card/paypal transaction so argument doesn't apply, except with crypto it cannot be stopped unless physically. on/off ramps are only for those if you aren't well connected, ie. outsiders. anyone will sell you crypto for cash with a margin as motivation.

     @harrypotter @Sui @Bad_Banner @RatPoster @sun what an evil post, made maliciously, advertising a platform, that is evil by ground-up design
     
     the platform describing "game-"features that steam already has had for what, 10 years? without blockchains, much more cost-effectively. Off-the-grid, being impossibly pay-to-win inevitably. All these web3 "positive" sides described are all worse than the already existing ultra-poisonous season-pass subscription based models, that HATE the player. The only argument from your post is "Others are suckers for not being the first adopters and will be the ones to give ME money"
     
     Words i've heard tens of times spoken by ponzi scheme enthusiasts, just evil people saying those words, pure evil, and everyone who believes those words, is naive or in-on-it.
     
     Cant wait to see another spike in rug-pulls, inevitably.
     
     the extra addenum flavor text as well:
     "Why yes, i do want to volunatrily cause situations where i must declare my video game skin and item sales and purchases on my yearly tax return, especially for video games where i wont have receipts for every action if the company did a bankruptcy moment"
     >play video game, do tax fraud - the platform
     
     There's no good faith here, only greed and evil

     No, I don't.
     But I also don't trust technology. I work in the smelly bowels of technology. I know it is untrustworthy. I especially don't trust technology that will soon be co-opted by the banks.
     When they decide to steal your money, the blockchain won't save you.
     I trust specific people, who have demonstrated they can be trusted.

     you also don't understand that all value is made up. all scarcity is perception based. this is why all the prepper advice to hoard gold, lead silver etc doesn't pan out. also all precious metals are poisoned with tungsten slugs with only destructive testing allowing you to test. tungsten slugs pass all metal analyzers. the move towards technology already happened. all your money is made up euro-dollars that don't really exist but are promises. there is no one best of all investment, and this is why I think anyone suspicious of crypto needs to have a hard look in the mirror why they love the traditional kike finance so much. you need to have a blend, don't put all your eggs in one basket. and learn something about it first, become more knowledgeable than the average idiot first before saying anything about it, or you're just airing your fears of the tech you don't understand and don't care to understand. put in the effort to understand it or see opportunity pass you by. put your criticism towards the traditional kike finance system (which you don't understand) first and learn something. i want them to try pull a co-opt of crypto. i hope all conspiracies and criticisms about it are true. please stay the fuck away from crypto, because you don't know shit about it and will likely lose your life savings. i don't want it to become safe and easy. there needs to be a skill requirement. if you don't have it, it shouldn't be for you. go tradkike finance and just do the buy thing with the paper kike bill and don't think too hard about it. things going wrong strengthens the ecosystem. battle hardening. stoic mindset. anything goes wrong and I hope it does and we just fork.

     Look, you stupid fuck. I am not advocating precious metals, or fiat, or crypto. But dumbshits like you think crypto will magically solve the core problem, which is retaining the fruit of your labor in a violent thieving world. It won't. It can and eventually will go to zero.
     
     Did you see the question I asked?
     How to you steal bitcoin with only a screwdriver?
     
     You jam it into the flesh of the person who holds the password/wallet/whatever token until he gives it to you. Same as fiat and same as precious metals..
     
     People are untrustworthy. Crypto is an attempt to create the results of trust without creating trust. The core problem cannot be solved with technology because it is not a technological problem.
     
     But if you are really interested in investing against a collapse, invest in skills, tools and relationships.
     
     In the meantime, enjoy your South Seas Bubble.

     I can attack crypto, will that make you feel better? As long as you have to convert it back to fiat to buy most stuff, then you are always subject to trust and regulation etc and it is just as bad as fiat, worse because now you are also subject to suspicion
