Did you wonder what old Peter Molyneux did was until recently? Well, in a move that few will surprise, the infamous designer jumps into the world of blockchain gaming and NFT bullshit. His next game, Legacy, is entirely based on technology and “crypto gaming”.
Molyneux, who once got a few people to tap a dice for funshe announced yesterday at the weekend Gala games Galaverse in Las Vegas that his company’s next video game is heritagewhich is described as “Blockchain Business Simulation”. Raise your hand if you knew Las Vegas was going to have a Galaverse.
According to Molyneux, he and his company –22 cans
In a blog post by Gala Games and Molyneux, they explained what heritage actually is. Or at least tries to explain it …
In heritage, Players will create digital products and buildings from thousands of available parts. These plans are then made by an “army of workers” after which players are free to trade “anything and everything” with other players around the world in order to “rule” the open market.
Apparently there will be in-game events and competitions that (maybe one day …) will reward players with cash and other prizes. But before you start playing this “game” you need to purchase a land NFT before you can start your own blockchain business in the game. And all of this is powered by a new cryptocurrency LegacyCoin
heritage and another recently announced FPS, Last expedition, are described by the creators and Gala Games as “play-to-earn”, with the idea that players can create digital content and goods and then trade or sell them via the blockchain in order to earn money. Which is an interesting idea that can be found in different games such as: B. has existed for years without the blockchain CSGO, Roblox, and more.
Mixing blockchain technology and Video games have quickly become a new hot idea
NFTs, Blockchains, and cryptocurrencies have been heavily criticized by many in recent years for a variety of reasons. including the terrible amount of e-waste generated by digital mining facilities, that sustained exposure to miners have increased the chip scarcity and of course, The fact that all energy blockchains are eating away may be accelerating global warmingg and is extremely wasteful.
But aside from all that, much of what NFTs and blockchains promise, the ability to create and sell digital goods in games or virtual worlds, has existed for years without the world-burning technology. But as long as there are people willing to invest in all of this, there will be people like Molyneux willing to invest in it.
