"Faster stamina regeneration" behind a paywall... Girl this is not a mobile gacha game... Why are we making limited action stamina in a cozy game... What..
using your platform to warn us players about this shitty NFT company with all this undeniable proof ... queen behaviour, they were so unprofessional too 💀
That block was the biggest anti-marketing campaign ever, what were they thinking? "Here, let's block this creator who is from our game's niche, so she leaves us alone regarding criticism", Lol
They don't want criticism, they know exactly what they're doing and never plan to change it. Making a cozy game is just a convenient cover so they can have the unsuspecting regular gamers play their game, while still catering to the crypto communities that are hidden among the other people who just want a cozy game. That way they can say it's a flourishing product because the playerbase number is relatively big, so they can sell it to investor and maybe say, "See, NFT is back in style!"
After seeing all the dev''s replies to Miss Bubbles on X i just knew they are NOT trustworthy. Blocking you would have been whatever but she decided that it was a great idea to make personal attacks and play the victim afterwards. Awful look that adds to the dishonesty, it won't do them any favors.
It's her attacks about my character that were confusing, cause when did I attack her? I simply asked for honesty, the same thing that people have been asking for, for over 2 years now
The inclusion of NFTs is already one way to avoid the game, but the lack of clear transparency is just so strange. Funnily enough, after looking on their Twitter, they have a January blog with an FAQ that has an NFT question. More intriguing, there is also a question about if the game will be on Steam, and they say they "have exciting Steam-related news coming soon." Sounds like they just want to generate false hype for people who aren't aware of Steam's policy with crypto.
Or they think they can scam steam into not noticing they are an NFT game they way they scammed Epic Games so they didn't have to disclose it yet. Epic Games just doesn't have a quality reporting system.
i thought that line was super funny too 😂 like babe you’re working hard to mislead and scam players, just bc you’re indie doesn’t mean you should be proud of it
When you tell a person your reservations/concerns with objectivity and intention for understanding and they immediately take that personally.. when instead of looking internally and apologizing they attack you and your character -that shows me everything I need to know. Not only were they combative and manipulative, they made no effort to address the concerns of the community. I stand with you in this entirely and appreciate your continued effort to protect your community. Much love! -Sundae (on a shared account lol)
I reported on Epic's product page but there's no option specifically for NFTs. Chose another option and will see if I'm able to provide further information when/if they come back to me.
Even in NFTs are "optional", all it does is fill multiplayer games with bots, or flood the community with people trying to offload their NFTs onto what few people are trying to play the game without them. Its like how you dont *have* to pay to play in Neverwinter, an old MMO, but you'll never be able to farm fast enough to actually play at a high level before the nerf what you were grinding out and replace with something you can spend well into triple digits to get instantly. Technically optional, but you WILL be pressured into interacting with them at ever turn. And thats if they werent lying about them being optinal
I’m tired of game companies lying to their consumers and doing things that makes their game less appealing. I was looking at this game but I 100% won’t get it.
I don't always agree with your reviews, but I watch them anyway because you go into such detail that I can still tell if it'll be a yay or nay for me. Between you and Josh, I can always go into a game knowing whether or not it's worth my time. This situation is crazy, but I'm grateful you're not letting them gaslight you. I was definitely looking forward to this game before I saw your first video, so thank you for the PSA!!! You saved me some strife, that's for sure.
The game looks so good that I think many people would have tried it even though the NFTs are a part of it. Sad how much they are sabotaging themselves right now. They are acting exactly how you would think a scammer would act: defensive and dishonest. If they would have been upfront and put their honest view on NFTs, I think others would have gladly played this game. Now no one will want to.
So they don't like to call it NFTs directly because it's related to cheap and scam games, proceeded to keep hiding, beautifying words, then suddenly lying and trying to pull a uno reverse card on you pointing out what is wrong with what they're doing, instead of trying to apologize and be more honest, resulting in... looking cheap and scammy. It's pretty funny and sad.
So sorry you had to deal with that and I love your videos because of your transparency. We all appreciate it. So sad that these developers are being so dishonest and can’t even take accountability. Thank you so much for sharing this information. Sending you hugs Miss Bubbles 🥰.
It's a shame, and pretty worrying, their response to your honestly given information. To try to discredit you in such a blatant way, is kinda gross, and puts them in an even worse light.

Though I feel for the ground level Devs that have been working on this game. Besides, NFTs are dead, everyone knows that. This company just wants to rake in as much money as possible, and probably cut and run. Keep it up Bubbles ✌️😁

Man I love the Wayback Machine. It lets you revisit nostalgia, learn what the internet was like back then and even more so; what a website is like before people change it to try and gaslight others. :) The best part is, they never know about the wayback machine until it's too late. It's fantastic! :D
I remember seeing this game a couple of years ago and was excited because it really looked pretty. I was fortunate enough that I did saw posts saying it was NFT and I unfollowed and blocked this game immediately. Thank you again for bringing this to light because I'm sure there are so many who were unaware about this game having NFT's.
I loved the voice you put on the developer's tweet... Laughed out loud here!!! 😂😂😂 These guys, omg! It's insane how they think people are stupid, all this fuss about your comments just proves their lack of honesty. Why are they desperate if there's nothing wrong?! 😅 'cause something IS wrong!
Thank you, as always, for your honesty and giving us all the facts so we can avoid the bad and only play the good. I wish these people would learn, but they always seem to dig their hole even deeper. So sad.
Praising your honesty right now ❤ It's very refreshing to view this type of content and that is why you are, in my opinion, one of the best game reviewers I've seen in a while. Nowadays, all I see is "influencers" raving about games and then doing 10 worst lists and the game they raved about is on the top of the list. It feels dishonest and I get it's a business but if you're not honest and practice the worship of the coin people will catch up and all credibility will be lost. Anyways, thanks again for your honesty ❤
Here’s what I don’t understand. If NFTs are ‘the future’ and will make games ‘better’, why are so many devs intent on hiding their presence in games? It’s like deliberately making your game worse and then feeling guilty about it when you could *just take the NFTs back out again*
Crypto investors were all-up in games for a couple years. Many games got funded by promising to put blockchain, crypto, NFTs in otherwise normal games. You do see some devs who believe in "the future of blockchain" or whatever, but a lot are probably just contractually-bound, and now are trying to sell a product that nobody actually wants. IMO better to just take the L and move on to making the next game, but admittedly that might be harder since there's less investor money now. Still no excuse to tank your whole studio & business rep, damn shame that.
I followed the game development since 2022/2023 and warned since the beginning that this Game uses nfts. They blocked the users and deleted or denied this kind of statement. They hide this facts since 2022 and they didnt learn a thing from it. But sadly the hiding of the fact that they use nfts is working and many people love this game. Hopefully your video will spread awareness. So thank you and all the other creators that speak about this. Creator like you are saving the cozy game community
I'm so glad I decided to drop the game when I did. After joining their discord and getting access to the game in its current state. It was already off putting on the game mode they had seem to put more effort in and it was like a timed battle between players. You'd collect stuff and unlock chests around the map for more rewards or items for other chests. On your own farm I was so lost on what to do they didn't seem to have put to much effort there at all. Their focus was on the battle game mode they had. I dropped the game after that and the way it had made me feel. Only to come find out via MissBubbles that they had NFTs and didn't tell anyone. I'm so happy I found out and dropped the game especially after how they have treated MissBubbles, It really shows their true colors.
Thank you for explaining the NFT mechanics and also thank you to KAIju for helping bring this information to light. Nobody wanted this game to fail, nobody is "shitting on hard work". We asked for transparency and instead they showed us their true colors. I always support indie Devs but I will not be supporting these grifters.
good lord man just.. this is literally the real life version of the how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man? gif🤣🤣stay safe , bubbly and be aware of things like this everyone.
Wow...just wow. This has to be one of the best examples of how NOT to market your game. As someone who works online dealing with customers daily, I can say the lack of professionalism from these Devs in inexcusable.
Commenting for the algorithm, I hope this spreads far and wide. Thanks for warning us about this game - I would never have known and I love farm sims a lot so I'd have been completely blindsided!
Thank you for continuing to spread the word on this. Want to say I'm surprised with that dev's response but I'm not. Of course scammers are going to be rude when their lies are being exposed. 😅 Thank you again!
Thank you for spreading the word about this! I personally LOVE cozy games and will occasionally stream them to my audience. I'd hate to promote such a shady game to them. Everyone please remember, knowledge is power and this is knowledge everyone needs to know!
It's so easy to fall for this, many streamers and creators actually hyped the game up not knowing what's going on behind the scenes. So I hope this video spreads a bit more awareness
Hi! I just watched your first Moonfrost video, thank you for mentioning my video on them. It was really well put together and I enjoyed it. This really put the fire under my feet to keep up research for part 2, especially seeing them repeat their stalking/bullying tendencies. There’s a lot of scummy stuff happening and it does go deeper.
Ty for this info and video bubbles. As a cozy gamer I respect that you give us information like this and that you care about us. Please keep doing what your doing. Ty again.😀
Thank you for these videos because I had no idea that this game had NFTs 🤢 As a rule of thumb I stay away from anything made by Epic Games or Supercell and everything related to NFT/crypto, so this game is a super hard no
Thank you for your continued courage to do what’s right for your cozy gamer community, not anyone else 👏👏👏👏 Really appreciate you continuing to shed light on this despite it being a rough thing for you to go through!
I also want to add: just keep at it. It's clear they have no argument. This is why, instead of addressing the very valid points you present to them, they choose instead to attack you as a person, attempting to belittle and mock you and your character. They can't even argue what you said because there were no lies, how pathetic. Also, the point that it's not right that you can attack them given the blood, sweat and tears, sleepless nights and anxiety that went into the making of the game is ridiculous. It's a poor attempt to make themselves the victims when the whole crux of this situation is they are avoiding honesty. Wow!
"A rose by any other name, would smell as sweet." The fact that they are trying to use new words to describe NFT tells you that they are being shady and deceptive. NFTs have a bad reputation to gamers for a reason, they have all been scams. Putting make up on it, to get it through the door, only supports the idea of it being a scam.
I got access to the alpha before knowing any of this, was so excited and downloaded the game- but upon loading was shocked by how "off" it looked and immediately suspected generative AI. Looking at the game in real time legit gave me a headache because the animations and visuals didn't make logical sense. Googled, confirmed they use generative AI and all the NFT stuff- uninstalled game and blocked them on Twitter. I really regret ever signing up for the alpha bc I don't want to be connected to them in any way.
Way to go Miss Bubbles. You keep at 'em. I have no problems with buying digital character cosmetics - especially when they're user-created; I mean I've been in Second Life since 2008, so that must say something. But NFTs and blockchain stuff is basically placing value on things in a greater digital ecosystem that does not and may not ever exist. Keep on keeping on exposing shady game-scams like this.
First, thank you Miss Bubbles for continuing to share. Sorry these devs are being such jerks about this. Second, to the devs: Holy unforced error, Batman! If they had done nothing we all would have moved on. Heck, in her first video, Miss Bubbles even said she had forgotten about this game. But instead, they blocked, then attacked Miss Bubbles = this is blowing up much larger.
I wonder why devs want to make their backbone so much more complex just to try and scam their playerbase through NFTs that initially sell for a high price but are only worth some scraps after just a few months. Don't mind the use of new tech, but the blockchain in most cases makes zero sense for games. Where there are way better and already developed systems for item storage and savings without the need to go with an overly power-hungry and complex system that is 80% to even 90% used for scamming people.
It's the investors. Esp during the height of the NFT craze, many games got funded by crypto companies. Usually putting blockchain into your game was a hard requirement - if you take it out, you'd likely be in breach of contract and have to give the money back. I'm guessing that's why these Moonfrost devs seem so desperate to hide the NFTs while also holding to them tightly. It's probably a contractual obligation they're stuck in deep.
Oh my god, hope they get removed from Epic, and it would be their own fault. All you had to do was be transparent and disclose what's in your own game but they doubled-down, tripled-down and are dying on this one hill. They've lost goodwill because of this when it's so easy to fix, just be honest! Normally I'd sympathize with indie devs but that they're doing all of this to *avoid being honest* says a lot about them, their practices and character. Literally, just be like "hey there's NFTs in our game, y'all." and keep it moving, but they're doing the most to get out of disclosing it. Hmm, could it be because they know NFTs are shady af scams at their core? Thank you for persisting in shouting these people out. They're so deceptive, and tbh, don't deserve any quarter or grace for how they've behaving. It's not your responsibility to be lenient or "teach" them when it's clear they were deceptive, not because they didn't know, but BECAUSE they know.
I'm not opposed to NFTs, I think that eventually devs will manage to include them properly in a game so that the game itself benefits from this, unlike current scams that just have NFTs to print some money. NFT/blockchain can be a really cool solution for having serverless items (so that even if game is discontinued, you still have access to items traded online without relying on developers maintaining the servers forever) or for some cross-project items (which is like a promise that hasn't yet been implemented, but maybe some day it will and it will work, who knows ^^). The problem is that currently studios think NFTs first, game second. And that shouldn't be the case, NFT should be a tool that MIGHT assist with something, and not the sole purpose of the game. But having a dev team intentionally hide they're involvement with blockchain and NFT technologies screams "scam" right away, especially when they get so defensive about it to the point of slandering YTbers on twitter.
So they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) release a game that’s just a good game. They had to add nft’s and make it pay to win. What a disappointment. I refuse to play a second of anything pay to win. Thanks for the warning. 👍
What a shame!! I played the beta playtest of this game and it seemed so promising and pretty! So gross that all this wonderful art is wasted on disgusting blockchain losers.
Thanks for investigating and trying to protect gamers from that scam! Apart from all the lies, deception and manipulation of these game devs, the amount of stupidity on their side is mind boggling. It also seems Epic doesn't really check what's going on in their store.
"the hard work" sure, but like, it IS possible to put a lot of energy into something that is still ethically questionable?! surely JUST working hard for something doesn't magically make it morally good and not to be criticised? truly embarrassing for them.
This is far worse than Gacha imo. At least most Gacha games let you proceed for free or for little money if you are willing to grind. This is just straight up pay2win by paywalling things like stamina regeneration which are essential in a farming game. If they really cared so much for their "indie" game and their hard work they would not have used NFTs nor have a bunch of crypto investors. This is 100% a scam.
Let's be real here, they never intended for this to be a good, cozy farming game. They want the crypto crowd, they're not even hiding it well. But they also want to trap the unsuspecting gamers who are into the genre because it's popular, which is kind of a braindead move because what kind of sane person would want to get into NFT in this day and age? Also I want to add that it's odd they're getting mad at you, when the NFT/crypto thing's been called out at least since the middle of last year.
It's because they are getting caught in the act while implementing them in a cozy game. Toxic positivity in the cozy gaming space is rampant, so they see me as their enemy for telling the truth.
@@MissBubbles I mean I think that's less because this is a cozy game and more that it's the crypto space. Toxic positivity is rampant there because its value relies so much on people keep hyping it up. Also, to me it's so transparent that the farming sim is just a cover all along because it's a popular genre, it can get both the crypto crowd but also the people who just want to play a farming sim because even if the latter would diminish in numbers, while it's still hot they could theoritically sell it to investors and go "NFT is _in_ again!" Now that I think about it, you're a considerably bigger creator in the space and thus have more reach, compared to the people who make videos about it before. They don't want you airing their NFT stuff because that's a bad look nowadays, they're just shady af.
NFTs are always dishonest. Anyone, and I mean anyone trying to sell them, is a scammer. That game looks graphically lovely but I avoid NFTs at every cost. In this case there is no cost.
Ong what 😭, i got got a redeem code on this game! It seemed very...off but it was so cute i played it once and left it be. So glad i saw this and i feel horrible for participating on a game with such unprofessional staff/employees/ people
Yikes! NFT's have no business being in cozy games. We're trying to wind down and play chill games, not grinding, then paying money just to grind more (if that's what ppl like, its all good tho).
If they had just been honest.... really, that's all it takes to keep players have a tad bit of respect. I know of a game that was supposed to be featuring nfts, game devs made sure everyone knew about it. And after listening to the playerbase's critiques, they even went back on that decision and made it a one-time purchase kinda game! We all forgave and forgot, simply because they've made sure NOBODY got an unpleasant surprise (plus they've put so much love into the game. It became worth spending on in a matter of minutes) We were all cheering when they announced it was gonna be on steam, without nft traces left! (( Ps. The game is "Dimensionals" ))
Does it strike anyone else that this is possibly the worst demographic to market an NFT game to? A lot of cozy games are used as escapism, and are about living off the land as such. I think most players of the genre wouldn’t be super interested in stuff like crypto.
This is so weird. Like the only people that are going to pay into nfts are people who want them to begin with, so making the choice not to advertise with the term is stupid. People who play unaware and then realize they're in there are going to feel scammed or deceived and talk about it online. I have no idea what their endgame or target audience is.
Oh. And Markiplier would be pissed if he found out about them using his image. They're lucky they made the choice to take that down, or else I feel like he'd talk about it very unkindly to his millions of viewers, which would not look great for them
I'm glad to see you looking good 😊...as for moonfrost, I hate to be there prey so definitely it's a SKIP😒 Stay well and keep it up we're with and appreciate your hard and honest work 🥰

Man I love the Wayback Machine. It lets you revisit nostalgia, learn what the internet was like back then and even more so; what a website is like before people change it to try and gaslight others. :)
The best part is, they never know about the wayback machine until it's too late. It's fantastic! :D
Gaslighting is the WORD! What a shame
More people gotta expose these kinds of practices!
Thank you for keeping our streets safe! 😎
Beyond unprofessional response from the company. Good god.
I remember seeing this game a couple of years ago and was excited because it really looked pretty. I was fortunate enough that I did saw posts saying it was NFT and I unfollowed and blocked this game immediately. Thank you again for bringing this to light because I'm sure there are so many who were unaware about this game having NFT's.
Moonfrost sounds like a blueprint for disaster!
I see what you did there lmao
Clearly they aren’t confident in their game if they are so worried to be fully honest
I loved the voice you put on the developer's tweet... Laughed out loud here!!! 😂😂😂
These guys, omg! It's insane how they think people are stupid, all this fuss about your comments just proves their lack of honesty. Why are they desperate if there's nothing wrong?! 😅 'cause something IS wrong!
There is deffo something wrong and they know it!
Thank you, as always, for your honesty and giving us all the facts so we can avoid the bad and only play the good. I wish these people would learn, but they always seem to dig their hole even deeper. So sad.
It keeps getting worse instead of them understanding where they are going wrong
@@MissBubbles 🙄😑 some will never learn
The developers of the game needs to be held accountable for what they are doing. They need to be shut down to.
thank you for sharing this! i really want to support indie devs but not ones like this
even if there weren't nfts in the game, and it was a false accusation, the response from the dev team was sooooo unprofessional 😂😂 like what?
it's so disrespectful
I think the concept of professionalism is a lost art these days. 😑
Liking and adding a comment to hopefully get more people to see this.
The devs are disgusting.
Praising your honesty right now ❤ It's very refreshing to view this type of content and that is why you are, in my opinion, one of the best game reviewers I've seen in a while. Nowadays, all I see is "influencers" raving about games and then doing 10 worst lists and the game they raved about is on the top of the list. It feels dishonest and I get it's a business but if you're not honest and practice the worship of the coin people will catch up and all credibility will be lost. Anyways, thanks again for your honesty ❤
Here’s what I don’t understand. If NFTs are ‘the future’ and will make games ‘better’, why are so many devs intent on hiding their presence in games?
It’s like deliberately making your game worse and then feeling guilty about it when you could *just take the NFTs back out again*
Crypto investors were all-up in games for a couple years. Many games got funded by promising to put blockchain, crypto, NFTs in otherwise normal games.
You do see some devs who believe in "the future of blockchain" or whatever, but a lot are probably just contractually-bound, and now are trying to sell a product that nobody actually wants.
IMO better to just take the L and move on to making the next game, but admittedly that might be harder since there's less investor money now. Still no excuse to tank your whole studio & business rep, damn shame that.
I followed the game development since 2022/2023 and warned since the beginning that this Game uses nfts. They blocked the users and deleted or denied this kind of statement. They hide this facts since 2022 and they didnt learn a thing from it.
But sadly the hiding of the fact that they use nfts is working and many people love this game.
Hopefully your video will spread awareness. So thank you and all the other creators that speak about this. Creator like you are saving the cozy game community
Bury** not burry
Thank you for warning us about this. I tried the beta and had no idea it had to do with NFTs.
I'm so glad I decided to drop the game when I did. After joining their discord and getting access to the game in its current state. It was already off putting on the game mode they had seem to put more effort in and it was like a timed battle between players. You'd collect stuff and unlock chests around the map for more rewards or items for other chests. On your own farm I was so lost on what to do they didn't seem to have put to much effort there at all. Their focus was on the battle game mode they had. I dropped the game after that and the way it had made me feel. Only to come find out via MissBubbles that they had NFTs and didn't tell anyone. I'm so happy I found out and dropped the game especially after how they have treated MissBubbles, It really shows their true colors.
That sounds more like Axie Infinity than Harvest Moon 😅
Thank you for explaining the NFT mechanics and also thank you to KAIju for helping bring this information to light. Nobody wanted this game to fail, nobody is "shitting on hard work". We asked for transparency and instead they showed us their true colors. I always support indie Devs but I will not be supporting these grifters.
It's hilarious how she said I am shitting on indie devs work. Majority of my channel is about indie games, like what are you on about?🤣
A NFT game ? In the humongous 2025 ? When will cryptobros will learn that we don’t want them ?
good lord man just.. this is literally the real life version of the how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man? gif🤣🤣stay safe , bubbly and be aware of things like this everyone.
.... Dear god. What the hell Moonfrost team? *Sighs* Sad. Worst that they are being scummy.. don't let it keep you down ! Stay Bubbly!
Wow...just wow. This has to be one of the best examples of how NOT to market your game. As someone who works online dealing with customers daily, I can say the lack of professionalism from these Devs in inexcusable.
Professionalism skills: -20
Commenting for the algorithm, I hope this spreads far and wide. Thanks for warning us about this game - I would never have known and I love farm sims a lot so I'd have been completely blindsided!
I really love the movement of the animation in this game ughhhhhhhh I WISH THAT ISN'T WASTED OVER A NFT
Thank you for continuing to spread the word on this.
Want to say I'm surprised with that dev's response but I'm not. Of course scammers are going to be rude when their lies are being exposed. 😅 Thank you again!
I was so shocked tbh with their response
Thank you for spreading the word about this! I personally LOVE cozy games and will occasionally stream them to my audience. I'd hate to promote such a shady game to them. Everyone please remember, knowledge is power and this is knowledge everyone needs to know!
It's so easy to fall for this, many streamers and creators actually hyped the game up not knowing what's going on behind the scenes. So I hope this video spreads a bit more awareness
Hi! I just watched your first Moonfrost video, thank you for mentioning my video on them. It was really well put together and I enjoyed it. This really put the fire under my feet to keep up research for part 2, especially seeing them repeat their stalking/bullying tendencies. There’s a lot of scummy stuff happening and it does go deeper.
Ty for this info and video bubbles. As a cozy gamer I respect that you give us information like this and that you care about us. Please keep doing what your doing. Ty again.😀
That’s just awful business practice! Thanks for spreading this
Woooow thank you for this! I can’t believe they are lying so much😮 That is just crazy
No way..
Who could expect the sketchy AI "game" is an sketchy project?
Thank you for these videos because I had no idea that this game had NFTs 🤢 As a rule of thumb I stay away from anything made by Epic Games or Supercell and everything related to NFT/crypto, so this game is a super hard no
This will be playable on Epic but not made by them btw. Supercell is one of the investors though
Nice meeting you, and thanks for pointing out the malicious and abusive behavior of this company and their scummy product!
Keep up the good work! 😄
Thank you for your continued courage to do what’s right for your cozy gamer community, not anyone else 👏👏👏👏
Really appreciate you continuing to shed light on this despite it being a rough thing for you to go through!
Always
Yes, it’s about the transparency and their reactions to people bringing up issues.
I also want to add: just keep at it. It's clear they have no argument. This is why, instead of addressing the very valid points you present to them, they choose instead to attack you as a person, attempting to belittle and mock you and your character. They can't even argue what you said because there were no lies, how pathetic.
Also, the point that it's not right that you can attack them given the blood, sweat and tears, sleepless nights and anxiety that went into the making of the game is ridiculous. It's a poor attempt to make themselves the victims when the whole crux of this situation is they are avoiding honesty. Wow!
Master gaslighters!
"A rose by any other name, would smell as sweet."
The fact that they are trying to use new words to describe NFT tells you that they are being shady and deceptive. NFTs have a bad reputation to gamers for a reason, they have all been scams. Putting make up on it, to get it through the door, only supports the idea of it being a scam.
I got access to the alpha before knowing any of this, was so excited and downloaded the game- but upon loading was shocked by how "off" it looked and immediately suspected generative AI. Looking at the game in real time legit gave me a headache because the animations and visuals didn't make logical sense. Googled, confirmed they use generative AI and all the NFT stuff- uninstalled game and blocked them on Twitter. I really regret ever signing up for the alpha bc I don't want to be connected to them in any way.
Way to go Miss Bubbles. You keep at 'em. I have no problems with buying digital character cosmetics - especially when they're user-created; I mean I've been in Second Life since 2008, so that must say something. But NFTs and blockchain stuff is basically placing value on things in a greater digital ecosystem that does not and may not ever exist. Keep on keeping on exposing shady game-scams like this.
Always!
Dang you fckn roasted them on twitter 👏🏼🤣🤣🔥 that was amazing.
🫡🫡🫡
These are what we call dirty devs. Thanks for sharing Miss Bubbles. Honesty is always the best policy.
First, thank you Miss Bubbles for continuing to share. Sorry these devs are being such jerks about this.
Second, to the devs: Holy unforced error, Batman! If they had done nothing we all would have moved on. Heck, in her first video, Miss Bubbles even said she had forgotten about this game.
But instead, they blocked, then attacked Miss Bubbles = this is blowing up much larger.
It's mind boggling at this point
Those reviews remind me of the times we used to break you by mentioning Starfield
I got invited to try the game like 2 weeks ago but never got around to it.
I won't be doing so now.
Unbelievable with these developers. Always playing victim and feigning ignorance like this. There is no accountability at all.
I wonder why devs want to make their backbone so much more complex just to try and scam their playerbase through NFTs that initially sell for a high price but are only worth some scraps after just a few months.
Don't mind the use of new tech, but the blockchain in most cases makes zero sense for games. Where there are way better and already developed systems for item storage and savings without the need to go with an overly power-hungry and complex system that is 80% to even 90% used for scamming people.
It's the investors. Esp during the height of the NFT craze, many games got funded by crypto companies. Usually putting blockchain into your game was a hard requirement - if you take it out, you'd likely be in breach of contract and have to give the money back.
I'm guessing that's why these Moonfrost devs seem so desperate to hide the NFTs while also holding to them tightly. It's probably a contractual obligation they're stuck in deep.
Oh my god, hope they get removed from Epic, and it would be their own fault. All you had to do was be transparent and disclose what's in your own game but they doubled-down, tripled-down and are dying on this one hill. They've lost goodwill because of this when it's so easy to fix, just be honest!
Normally I'd sympathize with indie devs but that they're doing all of this to *avoid being honest* says a lot about them, their practices and character. Literally, just be like "hey there's NFTs in our game, y'all." and keep it moving, but they're doing the most to get out of disclosing it. Hmm, could it be because they know NFTs are shady af scams at their core?
Thank you for persisting in shouting these people out. They're so deceptive, and tbh, don't deserve any quarter or grace for how they've behaving. It's not your responsibility to be lenient or "teach" them when it's clear they were deceptive, not because they didn't know, but BECAUSE they know.
Thanks for continuing to cover even though the Moonfrost team are being aggressive towards you
I'm not opposed to NFTs, I think that eventually devs will manage to include them properly in a game so that the game itself benefits from this, unlike current scams that just have NFTs to print some money. NFT/blockchain can be a really cool solution for having serverless items (so that even if game is discontinued, you still have access to items traded online without relying on developers maintaining the servers forever) or for some cross-project items (which is like a promise that hasn't yet been implemented, but maybe some day it will and it will work, who knows ^^). The problem is that currently studios think NFTs first, game second. And that shouldn't be the case, NFT should be a tool that MIGHT assist with something, and not the sole purpose of the game.
But having a dev team intentionally hide they're involvement with blockchain and NFT technologies screams "scam" right away, especially when they get so defensive about it to the point of slandering YTbers on twitter.
I hate these scammers sneaking ai and nft. It's literally everywhere and people dont want it at all!
It was a failed fad they wont let go of.
So they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) release a game that’s just a good game. They had to add nft’s and make it pay to win. What a disappointment. I refuse to play a second of anything pay to win. Thanks for the warning. 👍
Guuurrrl you really got them! Hahahah ❤
I'll just be called a hater by them 🤣
What a shame!! I played the beta playtest of this game and it seemed so promising and pretty! So gross that all this wonderful art is wasted on disgusting blockchain losers.
Thanks for investigating and trying to protect gamers from that scam! Apart from all the lies, deception and manipulation of these game devs, the amount of stupidity on their side is mind boggling. It also seems Epic doesn't really check what's going on in their store.
"the hard work" sure, but like, it IS possible to put a lot of energy into something that is still ethically questionable?! surely JUST working hard for something doesn't magically make it morally good and not to be criticised? truly embarrassing for them.
THANK YOU
This is far worse than Gacha imo. At least most Gacha games let you proceed for free or for little money if you are willing to grind. This is just straight up pay2win by paywalling things like stamina regeneration which are essential in a farming game. If they really cared so much for their "indie" game and their hard work they would not have used NFTs nor have a bunch of crypto investors. This is 100% a scam.
Ah I said "gotcha" as in "got you", not "gacha"
@@MissBubblesto be fair, as I understand it, one took the name from another- got you (in a gambling addiction)
@ haha yes! They do get you into falling into a horrible addiction if you are not careful and have self control
I'll stick to Stardew or give Mistria a shot. The presence of NFT's are an instant deal breaker.
Let's be real here, they never intended for this to be a good, cozy farming game. They want the crypto crowd, they're not even hiding it well. But they also want to trap the unsuspecting gamers who are into the genre because it's popular, which is kind of a braindead move because what kind of sane person would want to get into NFT in this day and age?
Also I want to add that it's odd they're getting mad at you, when the NFT/crypto thing's been called out at least since the middle of last year.
It's because they are getting caught in the act while implementing them in a cozy game. Toxic positivity in the cozy gaming space is rampant, so they see me as their enemy for telling the truth.
@@MissBubbles I mean I think that's less because this is a cozy game and more that it's the crypto space. Toxic positivity is rampant there because its value relies so much on people keep hyping it up. Also, to me it's so transparent that the farming sim is just a cover all along because it's a popular genre, it can get both the crypto crowd but also the people who just want to play a farming sim because even if the latter would diminish in numbers, while it's still hot they could theoritically sell it to investors and go "NFT is _in_ again!" Now that I think about it, you're a considerably bigger creator in the space and thus have more reach, compared to the people who make videos about it before. They don't want you airing their NFT stuff because that's a bad look nowadays, they're just shady af.
NFTs are always dishonest. Anyone, and I mean anyone trying to sell them, is a scammer. That game looks graphically lovely but I avoid NFTs at every cost. In this case there is no cost.
5:55 there is no universe where I am excited to see NFTs in a video game 🎮
I can't believe NFTs are still a thing, I thought the world collectively left them to die in 2023
This is so sad. I was really excited to play this game.
Ong what 😭, i got got a redeem code on this game! It seemed very...off but it was so cute i played it once and left it be. So glad i saw this and i feel horrible for participating on a game with such unprofessional staff/employees/ people
*uninstalllll* lmao!
Yesss LETS EXPOSE THESE PEOPLE! lets not get them any following
damn they are SO unprofessional and sneaky..
This was an amazing video! Well made, and shows your homework while being respectful. Kudos to you!
Yikes! NFT's have no business being in cozy games. We're trying to wind down and play chill games, not grinding, then paying money just to grind more (if that's what ppl like, its all good tho).
Tell that to the devs pls cause they don't seem to want to listen
@MissBubbles shame. They don't want customers or actually make a fun game 🤷🏿♂️.
If they had just been honest.... really, that's all it takes to keep players have a tad bit of respect.
I know of a game that was supposed to be featuring nfts, game devs made sure everyone knew about it. And after listening to the playerbase's critiques, they even went back on that decision and made it a one-time purchase kinda game!
We all forgave and forgot, simply because they've made sure NOBODY got an unpleasant surprise (plus they've put so much love into the game. It became worth spending on in a matter of minutes)
We were all cheering when they announced it was gonna be on steam, without nft traces left!
(( Ps. The game is "Dimensionals" ))
I had no idea Dimensionals did that! I feature their game in a short not too long ago. I'm glad they resolved things though!
Does it strike anyone else that this is possibly the worst demographic to market an NFT game to? A lot of cozy games are used as escapism, and are about living off the land as such. I think most players of the genre wouldn’t be super interested in stuff like crypto.
This is so weird. Like the only people that are going to pay into nfts are people who want them to begin with, so making the choice not to advertise with the term is stupid. People who play unaware and then realize they're in there are going to feel scammed or deceived and talk about it online. I have no idea what their endgame or target audience is.
Oh. And Markiplier would be pissed if he found out about them using his image. They're lucky they made the choice to take that down, or else I feel like he'd talk about it very unkindly to his millions of viewers, which would not look great for them
I'm glad to see you looking good 😊...as for moonfrost, I hate to be there prey so definitely it's a SKIP😒
Stay well and keep it up we're with and appreciate your hard and honest work 🥰
