18:54 I had an aneurysm over this steam locomotive. From what I can see: It's an Atlantic (4 leading wheels, 4 driving wheels, 2 trailing wheels) that looks like it's from the 1930's trying to pass itself off as a Ten-Wheeler (4 leading wheels, 6 driving wheels, no trailing wheels) from the 1880's. The handrails around the smokebox (the front) look like they took it off another locomotive and slapped it onto the design, the pilot at the front looks like a short skirt compared to a cow-catcher pilot that would be there.The smokestack looks like someone squashed an actual shotgun stack from a locomotive from the 1800's. The whole running board looks modern. There's pipes that go to nowhere. The air compressors don't look connected to anything. The headlight looks like an electric one-compared to the oil lamps that would actually be used. The domes look like they took if off a Baldwin-pattern from the early 1900's. The cab looks like it was actually made out of steel in real life but the devs made it look like wood. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE CYLINDERS LOOK ABSOLUTELY WRONG, THEY LOOK LIKE THE MOMENT THERE'S PRESSURE IN THEM, THE CYLINDERS CAPS SHOOT OFF BECAUSE YOU DESIGNED THEM THAT BAD IN THE FIRST PLACE.; WHY IS THERE A TUBE RUNNING FROM ONE CYLINDER TO THE OTHER, YOU DON'T NEED THAT, THE ONLY PLACES THE CYLINDERS ARE CONNECTED TO ARE THE CYLINDER SADDLE AND EXHAUST, AND BOTH OF THOSE THINGS AREN'T THAT. You can slow down the video and count the amount of times the wheels move. I fear what the inside of the cab looks like, because I can only imagine it looks as dogwater as the rest of that crypto game.
That whole "You can transfer a pickaxe from Minecraft to use in Call of Duty" thing will never make economic sense because game companies would much rather sell you 2 NFTs (one for each game) because then they both get a sale, or if they're already under the same umbrella (in this case, Microsoft) and do want to be nice and sell you only 1, *they can already do this without an NFT*, and it'll cost them far less to do so.
I know that example is probably based on the absurdism of it, but I love the concept of a Minecraft Pickaxe in Call of Duty. How would that even work? Would it be a fancy skin for the small knives? A special weapon that is basically that, but with more range and less strength? Or a weirdass tool that allows you to dig tunnels into the maps? Because I assume cryptobros generally picture the last option when even the second feels unreasonable to expect
@@dr.archaeopteryx5512You import your favourite Elden Ring weapon into Call of Duty. It scales with faith and arcane. What does that even mean in the world of Call of Duty? It’s gibberish. Even just moving a gun between gun games doesn’t work because something that might be mid in one game would be useless in another and ridiculously overpowered in a different one. Even if they could somehow make it work, all it would do is ruin the balance of every game that did it.
@@robertlee2092 They're cryptobros, do you think they actually understand how games work? Even from a development standpoint even on the same engine you probably can't take a thing and slap into a different game without breaking something.
"This would be *way* better for consumers" they all claim, blissfully unaware that that's the exact reason it will never happen. It's like they forget that they're not the only ones that will be able to screw other people over with NFTs, and big companies have been perfecting this art for decades.
Here from Red Eclipse. Thank you for your help and happy to have you with us! Sad and pathetic what scammers are getting up to these days, especially when they aren't even making an actual playable game in the process but are too lazy to bother simulating one playable level just to make it look legit.
@@muchotexto4248 I have never heard of Red Eclipse until now, but if I were to guess, probably some eldritch being capable of traversing parallel worlds and with incredible powers. But remained in that universe to protect it from the insidious replicryptors. And occasionally partake in the fun death games.
I love how you completely destroyed those crypto bros. And props for keeping a worthwhile game alive for that long. Will check it out, looks very promising.
I had never heard of red eclipse until the algorithm showing me this video for a UA-camr I've never watched. But you can bet I'm now subscribed to said UA-camr and going to check the game out!
@@Zanophane_Gaming That and from what I've seen, most crypto/NFT investors and venture capital tech"bro" types tend to see artists (or just about anyone with tangible skills and passion for things outside of "getting rich" and "fawning over fancy-sounding shiny new tech that might maybe possibly let YOU become the next Jefflon Zuckergates") as this evil "elite" cabal that run a dictatorship on creativity and crush people's dreams while at the same time acting like they're this soon-to-be-deleted middleman that'll have to get a REAL job once AI gits gud in "2 weeks time" (whatever they consider a "real" job is to them I suppose)
@@Zanophane_Gaming That and crypto/techbros particularly dislike artists (or just about anyone in the creative sector) and see them as this barrier and unnecessary human element that gets in the way of them making their totally feasible and not-at-all-a-scam project and their shot at becoming a big tech billionaire.
The genre of person who likes crypto is almost always devoid of any creativity that it's shocking. So they always have to exploit workers, or just steal another game.
It's because people who enjoy crypto only enjoy it because it will supposedly make them rich. They have the mentality of people who are rich with actual money without having that money.
They spit nonsense about freeing people from corrupt financial state-controlled systems, but show time and time again that they have plentiful amount of all traits that make that system corrupt. So all what cryptobro (and all libertatians in general) want is replace system with even worse one but with them on the top
I’ve never heard of Red Eclipse prior to this video, so in a weird roundabout way their game getting stolen by a bunch of grifters might’ve actually been a blessing in disguise.
imo it lines up pretty well with the valve 25th anniversary thing from a while back too. most people like free things, they buy half-life when it was free and get into first person shooters, and now they see a free first person shooter?
The Vage Strike dev asking the Red Eclipse dev to join "his game" as an advisor truly is a Palpatine like moment. Good work as always Jauwn, hopefully youve got some strong anti virus to get rid of all this malware you keep downloading.
yeah, even just the single discord message he showed basically ended up saying: 1. Don't worry, I already blamed someone else for my blatantly trash behavior and gave them hell for it. 2. Let's find some common ground and move past this so I don't have to acknowledge any of my mistakes. 3. I'd be happy to give back to the project *we* are working *together* on, but... 4. There's just one problem. The game being open source isn't enough support for me -to blatantly rip you off- . Could you at least give me _some_ form of support, or are you going to just sit there and do nothing for me?
He should consider switching over to Linux and running Windows in a virtual machine with redirected GPU so he can nuke Windows after playing these godawful "video games"
@@skinwalker69420 You can actually just run windows in a virtual machine on windows if you have the Pro edition of windows, which I do. It's called "Windows Sandbox", and I use it all the time
Stole the game then asked the lead dev to work for them. Disrespect. So much. If someone takes my work and rips all reference then asks ME of all people to work for them, I'll need to be held back from knocking them out. Insane respect to the devs for trolling them instead of over reacting like I would.
I seriously can't comprehend the audacity of using the same server you stole from. It blew my mind. Like a thief storing the stuff he stole from you in your bedroom cupboard.
The fact that the Vagina Strike "developers" couldn't even be bothered to take screenshots themselves is fucking staggering. They couldn't even be bothered to remove the files that Steam puts there. It would've taken five, maybe ten minutes in total, and even that was too much work for them.
@FunkiestChickenlawl as someone who watches a guy who streams alongside an ai(vedal) I can say there are a few exceptions, unless you are just talking "generative" ai. In which case yeah
I think its even funnier that they copied open source game they totally could had used as basis for their crypto game. But they failed to do even that part properly xD
@@samamies88 cant get over that they also use red's server lmao I just cant take these crypto bros seriously lol sad though that people still fall for these scams, though i wont pity them since most of them are there to trade only
I can’t think of any harder way to assert dominance over one’s own IP than bricking the stolen game and saying “hey check out our game”. Fuck filing a copyright take down, they were so lazy it wasn’t worth the time 😂.
I Played red eclipse about 10 years ago in the dedicated computer room of my highschool a while back. We where making lan partys everyday on Red Eclipse for about 6-7 months before the end of the school year. When I saw "gameplay of Vage Strike, I instantly recognised the shotgun. I was about to comment that that was from Red Eclipse when I saw the segment title and decided to watch the rest of it before commenting. Glad to see an obscure part of my childhood get the recognition it deserves. Props to you Quinn and Jauwn, definitivly gonna replay the game and you earned yourself a new subscriber.
Losing it at the whole 'pushing an update to Vage Strike bc they use Red Eclipse Servers' bit, that's so fucking good, and the fact that it bricks the stolen version of the game is even better.
"The jokes write themselves." No they don't, first some "developers" had to ask ChatGPT to write the jokes, then they added microtransactions to the jokes.
Dislocate: *uses open-source software but doesn’t credit creators (illegal)* Also Dislocate: *uses the exact same servers as the original software (either scummy or illegal, or both)* Red Eclipse: *edits their own software and servers to recognize these altered copies and change them (legal since it is their server and their software)* Dislocate: *crying like babies*
I always loved Red Eclipse's HUD, it borrows the on-crosshair ammo counter from Goldeneye and the peripheral radar from Tremulous. Everything is engineered to let you lock your eyes firmly onto the center of the screen, without giving up readability of key information mid-combat.
a new nft game video so soon after the last one? jauwn my beloved you are spoiling us EDIT: WOW that Red Eclipse saga was a treat. bricking the ripoff game by updating it was such a chef's kiss. i clapped my hands like a fucking monkey when the SCAM ALERT screen popped up. good for them and good on you for helping out
Nigeria is a rapidly emerging market, lots of people live there, and not all the businesses are regulated (at least effectively) and so you get more organised scams out of there.
@@lordfelidae4505Nigeria has a large English-speaking population, lots of poverty and a thoroughly corrupt and dysfunctional government. It is the perfect haven for scammers.
5:42 fun fact, because they insisted on ending all their prices in '.99', the cheapest option is objectively the best value. if you conceptualize 1 gold to be 1 cent, then the smallest option is 1% off while the largest option is 0.0025% off. bullk-buying the cheap option means you can get an extra 400 gold and still save 3 cents. what a steal what a deal
We've seen games with no players, ai generated arts, server issues, outrages prices and uninspiring gameplay (or lack thereof). However, never have I a company just stealing an entire game right underneath our noses. I already hate ai generated art, but this is a new low.
The Red Eclipse theft is the worst thing ive seen, stolen art, stolen game, stolen EVERYTHING. Just wow, I will download Red Ecplipse if not just to spite NFT/Crypto slop """"develpers""". Thank you for shining a light on that game.
I play the heck out of 0 AD, and it's a pretty good Real Time Strategy game. I think some of the people who worked on Age of Empires also worked on this too, which probably explains the quality. My main complaint is that there's a pretty big skill level needed to build a game, but it's still a pretty solid game, and the community maps and multiplayer are pretty sick too. TL;DR 0 AD is a good RTS game and you should play it
God damn, I did not expect to hear about GRIT, though I shouldn't be surprised. Some of the devs used to work in Uber Entertainment / Star Theory Games, including the president of the company himself. When their first game, Monday Night Combat failed, they reworked it and released Super Monday NIght Combat... which failed as well. At some point, they even partnered with a crypto company and created an optional crypto miner that rewarded players with lootbox keys. They went on to start a Kickstarter campaign for Planetary Annihilation, which met its funding goal... only for them to fail to deliver the game in a satisfactory state. They quickly started a new Kickstarter campaign for Human Resources while Planetary Annihilation was still in need of more development. The campaign was cancelled when it was clear the goal will not be reached. When they announced GRIT, I just knew it would fail, simply because of the competition in the battle royale scene. The fact that they made it into a crypto game is just laughable. My only question is: did they plan this from the beginning or was this yet another desperate attempt at saving yet another failing project?
Dude WTF I used to love SMNC. That game fell off so hard so quickly. I had no idea they had anything to do with GRIT. Guess it doesn't surprise me that it was just a scam though
The it’s insane that their first reaction to messaging the actual developer of Red Eclipse was “So we’re not gonna stop stealing your game, BUT you could help add stuff and get some of the money we scam off people?”
16:18 Minor nitpick but Red Eclipse is using a very specific kind of Creative Commons license. CC BY-SA means that if I were to release Vage Strike, I'd have to 1. credit the original dev by linking the original project and 2. distribute Vage Strike under the same CC BY-SA license and since Quin didn't even know, clearly they never got permission to change that.
Another thing is that while the wording of 0ad's license probably wasn't drafted by a lawyer, it does include - "0 A.D. and the Pyrogenesis engine are released as free and open source: you can freely use, copy, modify and distribute the game's source code and data files, as long as you include attribution to Wildfire Games and let anyone freely modify and distribute any of your own modifications to the game's files." And an argument could very well be made in court that Dislocate games failed to fulfill the requirements of the license.
Alternatively it is still a hack and slash genre game but it’s story and gameplay is a parody of the genre and both highlights the strengths and problems of the genre overall. Both seem like fitting project to earn the title
_Exactly this._ For ALL their talk and talk about "true digital ownership" allowing you to "use your stuff anywhere, this is the fUtUrE of gaming" ... even in the Crypto space, _as it exists, right now,_ no one is actually doing that! I wonder why! 😆
The scammers deleting their website when the realized the Jauwn has entered their discord was great. The Red Eclipse developers taking control of the server just made it better.
Welcome to crypto games! We have: -Lyra asset flips -Games missing nearly every basic feature -semi-competant games that literally don't need crypto integration -stolen
Fun fact; The Red Eclipse is a student animation that was uploaded to UA-cam and is one of the most enjoyable animations ever hosted on the site- undoubtably more worth your time as the sole animator that worked on it undoubtably spent more hours working on that one few minute video than the entire team did on Vag Strike.
Really glad that an actual game reccomendation could come out of you playing all this slop. Not to mention I have so much respect for the lead dev of red eclipse now for the funny solution to the Vage idiots
Thank you for the Red Eclipse shoutout, one of the best games of all time, that is also available NATIVELY on a variety of operating systems. Not just Windows. It is a shame that that is a selling point, and not just the bare minimum expectation for games being developed decades later.
You & Quin gave the Vage Strike "devs" the equivalent of the "Nuh uh uhhh. You didn't say the magic word" screen from Jurassic Park. Priceless. Keep up the great work Jauwn.
Jauwn I'm currently sick(it's dengue), and very weak, I can barely walk or smile, but man, I love you you videos, they always make my day better, specially now that's being somewhat hard to go through the pain... thanks.
Vage Strike just made me thin of the time I fell in the splits on the balance beam when I was a kid in gymnastics. In what world did they think that name was cool
There are so many amazing open-source games out there. Endless Sky, HyperRogue, OpemTTD… It’s horrible to see these community-driven projects hijacked just to scam people out of their money.
Blockchain GameBingo completed! 1) Empty Desolate Multiplayer Environments 2) AI generated or stolen Art 3) Asset Store Galore! 4) Incomplete Game! 5) Gameplay has no connection to blockchain! BINGO!
Isn't it interesting that all these crypto bros can't cobble together anything even half-way decent despite millions upon millions of dollars being thrown at them, but a bunch of bedroom devs working on a budget of literally $0 doing it just for fun made a game that's so much better than all of them that they just stole it.
It’s funny and sad because Ive heard that blockchain tech may have some legitimate uses but these clowns have basically squandered it and made it a joke
you know, as someone who has done programming, I absolutely hate the idea that "crypto would enable you to port items between games" because its just...no. I don't want to do that and I'm sure _no_ developer wants to. That's probably why even these crypto games are all reliably insular, why _would_ you go to that effort?! You wouldn't and its why basically none of them do.
As someone who has played video games that would either destroy game balance or be purely cosmetic and either way it's not a selling point. As someone who thought about this for two seconds you wouldn't need an nft to do that and an nft wouldn't make it better.
I don't have any programming experience but even the idea of "porting items" as these cryptobros think is just a complete pain if not impossible since wouldn't all these games running on their own code if not entirely different engines and the like? Then again, thse crypto bros care only the money and are more less just rig pullers and scammers.
@@Chinothebadyeah, it was always a nonsensical claim, made by people who had no idea what they were talking about, or assumed the people they were selling to wouldn't. This probably ties into the "metaverse" hype bubble too. One of the few ways to make the promise of NFT in-game items plausible is if everyone's playing in the same overarching engine/codebase. Like, it's reasonably possible to port items & cosmetics across different Roblox games, though the devs of the individual games still get to decide what those items *do* - your +3 Broadsword of Extirpation isn't going to have the same stats in Adopt-a-Duck as it does in Violence Quest 6000 unless the devs want it to. And of course Roblox doesn't use NFTs to accomplish any of this because, why would they?
@@KSignalEingang one can bet they'd bank on the average Joe's inexperience in how programming and the like works in regards to the "porting items" since it's one of the few excuses they'd have in trying to shill out NFT's in gaming. But even the average Joe ain't gonna buy it. Especially with just a little knowledge in knowing you can't "port pickaxes" into a wholly different game and expect it to work like these NFT bros claim. Also to say, modders do porting more realistically anyway than these NFT bros couls claim, at least in seeing how a game like Skyrim has mods using direct model rips from Dark Souls or someone porting a Spongebob model right into G-Mod.
even minecraft already has that with map maker plus this already is a feature in some old school games and if modern and old one already do better and even just good enough yet this can't even competed with Minecraft? yeah no just give up
I used to play Red Eclipse back in 2011 on a crappy core 2 duo laptop, I easily have put hundreds of ours in it and can still remember the main theme perfectly. Thanks for making me remember this gem. I'm so glad it's still being supported by the devs.
I always think it's funny seeing the "wonder how this video will age" comments, cause this account usually posts highly topical videos, riding a trend. Even now I see you slowly moving away from NFTs, which I encourage, it's much more entertaining to me to hear you gush over old games and how, while are definitely flawed, are still made with fun in mind. NFTs are thankfully are slowly dying, but ironically that does mean it'll take NFT hate/review videos with it. So yeah, hopefully your algorithm presence survives the inevitable shift in types of videos. Edit: thanks for doing some detective work and getting me to Red eclipse
Man, that's crazy. I played Red Eclipse YEARS ago on an old laptop as it was one of the few games that ran on that piece of junk. It took about 10 seconds of "gameplay" to recognize it. Great game, crazy that they just stole the source code and ran with it.
5:45 Worst than that, it's more expensive to purchase in bulk. For example, 100 gold is 0.99$, so how much should it be 40,000 gold (400 times the gold)? 400 x $0.99 = $396.00 But the store is charging $399.99 for the bulk purchase (in other words, overcharging $3.99 just for purchasing in bulk). I can't tell if it's intentional or if they are that incompetent at math...
3:46 Jiggle physics that make no sense with that size no less. Even the folks at Studio Trigger (and anyone left at Gainax who did the Gainax physics trope) would be cringing.
Every new development in the Red Eclipse/Vage Strike segment somehow got more ridiculous and hilarious than the last. Big round of applause to you and Quin for owning these cypto doofuses in the funniest way possible! I'm sure they will learn absolutely nothing from this.
Holy fuck! I used to play Red Eclipse like a decade ago and had completely forgotten about it. I found it on the app store thingy on my old Ubuntu 12.04 laptop when I was 10. Good memories
I will catch up and watch the whole thing this evening. Just wanted to say: This showed up in my feed just now, and I thought, "Why does a Jauwn video only have 1.7k views? Is this an early one that I missed?" Then I saw that you uploaded 16 minutes ago. 😁 Keep it up, bro. Doing the Lord's work, holding this stuff up for ridicule, but spending enough time on it so that you're fair and reasoned at the same time.👍
Gideon K. Is also a deposed prince in Nigeria. He told me himself. Once these bank transfers go through you’ll all see. I don’t know why you are ragging on him so hard
Hey that's Red Eclipse! I actually played this game back around 2014 (I believe it was recommended by Vsauce). So glad to see it's still in development and has an active player base!
10:51 it’s one of the scammer flips, they find an unknown game, and try to sell it to a company for money, then ditch it. Interestingly it might work if there weren’t eyes everywhere for nearly every dev.
11:12 I knew that game was familiar! Used to play Red Eclipse and other Cube Engine games a long time ago, can't believe this video is how I find out it's still alive!
Oh shit, red eclipse has some cube dna in it? I remember messing around with forks of cube and sauerbraten years ago now, guess I've gotta check it out lmao
By the time Quin came into the story, I was already sold on Red Eclipse. Now this is even bigger of a chad move from Quin to straight up push that update xD Now I really wish I was more like this fella!

@@Zanophane_Gaming That and from what I've seen, most crypto/NFT investors and venture capital tech"bro" types tend to see artists (or just about anyone with tangible skills and passion for things outside of "getting rich" and "fawning over fancy-sounding shiny new tech that might maybe possibly let YOU become the next Jefflon Zuckergates") as this evil "elite" cabal that run a dictatorship on creativity and crush people's dreams while at the same time acting like they're this soon-to-be-deleted middleman that'll have to get a REAL job once AI gits gud in "2 weeks time" (whatever they consider a "real" job is to them I suppose)
@@Zanophane_Gaming That and crypto/techbros particularly dislike artists (or just about anyone in the creative sector) and see them as this barrier and unnecessary human element that gets in the way of them making their totally feasible and not-at-all-a-scam project and their shot at becoming a big tech billionaire.
The genre of person who likes crypto is almost always devoid of any creativity that it's shocking.
So they always have to exploit workers, or just steal another game.
It's because people who enjoy crypto only enjoy it because it will supposedly make them rich. They have the mentality of people who are rich with actual money without having that money.
They spit nonsense about freeing people from corrupt financial state-controlled systems, but show time and time again that they have plentiful amount of all traits that make that system corrupt. So all what cryptobro (and all libertatians in general) want is replace system with even worse one but with them on the top
they also lacking in smart bisuness men tactic
I’ve never heard of Red Eclipse prior to this video, so in a weird roundabout way their game getting stolen by a bunch of grifters might’ve actually been a blessing in disguise.
This is maybe some of the best exposure the game could have gotten. Thousands of people just found it for the first time by chance.
imo it lines up pretty well with the valve 25th anniversary thing from a while back too. most people like free things, they buy half-life when it was free and get into first person shooters, and now they see a free first person shooter?

5:42 fun fact, because they insisted on ending all their prices in '.99', the cheapest option is objectively the best value. if you conceptualize 1 gold to be 1 cent, then the smallest option is 1% off while the largest option is 0.0025% off. bullk-buying the cheap option means you can get an extra 400 gold and still save 3 cents. what a steal what a deal

While there's a well-deserved focus on Red Eclipse, let's also not forget 0 AD, The House, and Edelweiss. Do give those games a check, they seem fun.
Edelweiss is fun. It is on itch and can be played in a browser.
Yep gotta be fair to the other devs too :)
Def checking all of them out sometime, if they're good enough to steal, they're beyond good enough to try
I play the heck out of 0 AD, and it's a pretty good Real Time Strategy game. I think some of the people who worked on Age of Empires also worked on this too, which probably explains the quality.
My main complaint is that there's a pretty big skill level needed to build a game, but it's still a pretty solid game, and the community maps and multiplayer are pretty sick too.
TL;DR 0 AD is a good RTS game and you should play it
I'd like to check out The House but for the life of me I can't figure out what comes out of Jauwn's mouth instead of the creator's name
God damn, I did not expect to hear about GRIT, though I shouldn't be surprised. Some of the devs used to work in Uber Entertainment / Star Theory Games, including the president of the company himself.
When their first game, Monday Night Combat failed, they reworked it and released Super Monday NIght Combat... which failed as well. At some point, they even partnered with a crypto company and created an optional crypto miner that rewarded players with lootbox keys.
They went on to start a Kickstarter campaign for Planetary Annihilation, which met its funding goal... only for them to fail to deliver the game in a satisfactory state. They quickly started a new Kickstarter campaign for Human Resources while Planetary Annihilation was still in need of more development. The campaign was cancelled when it was clear the goal will not be reached.
When they announced GRIT, I just knew it would fail, simply because of the competition in the battle royale scene. The fact that they made it into a crypto game is just laughable. My only question is: did they plan this from the beginning or was this yet another desperate attempt at saving yet another failing project?
Dude WTF I used to love SMNC. That game fell off so hard so quickly. I had no idea they had anything to do with GRIT. Guess it doesn't surprise me that it was just a scam though

16:18 Minor nitpick but Red Eclipse is using a very specific kind of Creative Commons license. CC BY-SA means that if I were to release Vage Strike, I'd have to 1. credit the original dev by linking the original project and 2. distribute Vage Strike under the same CC BY-SA license and since Quin didn't even know, clearly they never got permission to change that.
Another thing is that while the wording of 0ad's license probably wasn't drafted by a lawyer, it does include -
"0 A.D. and the Pyrogenesis engine are released as free and open source: you can freely use, copy, modify and
distribute the game's source code and data files, as long as you include
attribution to Wildfire Games and let anyone freely modify and distribute any
of your own modifications to the game's files."
And an argument could very well be made in court that Dislocate games failed to fulfill the requirements of the license.
"Hash and slack" would actually be a good genre, make the whole game look like a drug-trip and not require much effort.
Alternatively it is still a hack and slash genre game but it’s story and gameplay is a parody of the genre and both highlights the strengths and problems of the genre overall. Both seem like fitting project to earn the title

you know, as someone who has done programming, I absolutely hate the idea that "crypto would enable you to port items between games" because its just...no. I don't want to do that and I'm sure _no_ developer wants to. That's probably why even these crypto games are all reliably insular, why _would_ you go to that effort?! You wouldn't and its why basically none of them do.
Think Ninesquirrels made a video saying just this. Check it out!
As someone who has played video games that would either destroy game balance or be purely cosmetic and either way it's not a selling point. As someone who thought about this for two seconds you wouldn't need an nft to do that and an nft wouldn't make it better.
I don't have any programming experience but even the idea of "porting items" as these cryptobros think is just a complete pain if not impossible since wouldn't all these games running on their own code if not entirely different engines and the like? Then again, thse crypto bros care only the money and are more less just rig pullers and scammers.
@@Chinothebadyeah, it was always a nonsensical claim, made by people who had no idea what they were talking about, or assumed the people they were selling to wouldn't.
This probably ties into the "metaverse" hype bubble too. One of the few ways to make the promise of NFT in-game items plausible is if everyone's playing in the same overarching engine/codebase. Like, it's reasonably possible to port items & cosmetics across different Roblox games, though the devs of the individual games still get to decide what those items *do* - your +3 Broadsword of Extirpation isn't going to have the same stats in Adopt-a-Duck as it does in Violence Quest 6000 unless the devs want it to. And of course Roblox doesn't use NFTs to accomplish any of this because, why would they?
@@KSignalEingang one can bet they'd bank on the average Joe's inexperience in how programming and the like works in regards to the "porting items" since it's one of the few excuses they'd have in trying to shill out NFT's in gaming. But even the average Joe ain't gonna buy it. Especially with just a little knowledge in knowing you can't "port pickaxes" into a wholly different game and expect it to work like these NFT bros claim.
Also to say, modders do porting more realistically anyway than these NFT bros couls claim, at least in seeing how a game like Skyrim has mods using direct model rips from Dark Souls or someone porting a Spongebob model right into G-Mod.
Bricking someone else's game by using their own stupidity against them is such a power move. Massive props to Quin.

I always think it's funny seeing the "wonder how this video will age" comments, cause this account usually posts highly topical videos, riding a trend. Even now I see you slowly moving away from NFTs, which I encourage, it's much more entertaining to me to hear you gush over old games and how, while are definitely flawed, are still made with fun in mind. NFTs are thankfully are slowly dying, but ironically that does mean it'll take NFT hate/review videos with it. So yeah, hopefully your algorithm presence survives the inevitable shift in types of videos.
Edit: thanks for doing some detective work and getting me to Red eclipse
Man, that's crazy. I played Red Eclipse YEARS ago on an old laptop as it was one of the few games that ran on that piece of junk. It took about 10 seconds of "gameplay" to recognize it. Great game, crazy that they just stole the source code and ran with it.
5:45 Worst than that, it's more expensive to purchase in bulk. For example, 100 gold is 0.99$, so how much should it be 40,000 gold (400 times the gold)?
400 x $0.99 = $396.00
But the store is charging $399.99 for the bulk purchase (in other words, overcharging $3.99 just for purchasing in bulk). I can't tell if it's intentional or if they are that incompetent at math...
3:46 Jiggle physics that make no sense with that size no less. Even the folks at Studio Trigger (and anyone left at Gainax who did the Gainax physics trope) would be cringing.
Vegetarian Strike's copying of Red Eclipse seems like a blessing in disguise. I now have several games to look forward to and love

Every new development in the Red Eclipse/Vage Strike segment somehow got more ridiculous and hilarious than the last. Big round of applause to you and Quin for owning these cypto doofuses in the funniest way possible! I'm sure they will learn absolutely nothing from this.
Holy fuck! I used to play Red Eclipse like a decade ago and had completely forgotten about it. I found it on the app store thingy on my old Ubuntu 12.04 laptop when I was 10. Good memories
Red Eclipse was my jam back in the "Mayan's Doomsday" but the way Red Eclipse handling the cryptoscam is wonderful
One more thing about red chaos.
The gameplay you showed was on retextured map of Warface, got me good there.
That red eclipse section was so wholesome. I'll give the game a try, they sure deserve it
I will catch up and watch the whole thing this evening. Just wanted to say: This showed up in my feed just now, and I thought, "Why does a Jauwn video only have 1.7k views? Is this an early one that I missed?" Then I saw that you uploaded 16 minutes ago. 😁 Keep it up, bro. Doing the Lord's work, holding this stuff up for ridicule, but spending enough time on it so that you're fair and reasoned at the same time.👍
Gideon K. Is also a deposed prince in Nigeria. He told me himself. Once these bank transfers go through you’ll all see. I don’t know why you are ragging on him so hard

Hey that's Red Eclipse! I actually played this game back around 2014 (I believe it was recommended by Vsauce). So glad to see it's still in development and has an active player base!
10:51 it’s one of the scammer flips, they find an unknown game, and try to sell it to a company for money, then ditch it. Interestingly it might work if there weren’t eyes everywhere for nearly every dev.
21:17 hash and slack is really a perfect description of that game
So you better smoke that hashish and slack on the couch.
ITS THE BEAUTIFUL OLD JAUWN INTRO
11:12 I knew that game was familiar! Used to play Red Eclipse and other Cube Engine games a long time ago, can't believe this video is how I find out it's still alive!
Oh shit, red eclipse has some cube dna in it? I remember messing around with forks of cube and sauerbraten years ago now, guess I've gotta check it out lmao
Aw shit, AssaultCube is familiar to me!
The picture for the third "executive" looks like one of the portrait choices you can choose from in Euro/American Truck Simulator.
By the time Quin came into the story, I was already sold on Red Eclipse. Now this is even bigger of a chad move from Quin to straight up push that update xD
Now I really wish I was more like this fella!
