  • Today, we'll be looking at perhaps the strangest #crypto and #nftgame yet. CryptoFights brings an exciting twist to #web3 gaming by being borderline malware, excessively boring, and entirely unpopulated! Wow!
    Despite the lack of success for CryptoFights, it seems that the developers are already hard at work on the game's sequel, CryptoFights 2. CryptoFights is hosted on the interesting and sometimes controversial blockchain known as Bitcoin SV. This is the first time we've covered a game using this blockchain, and it's actually the first time that I had ever heard of Bitcoin SV.
    Bitcoin SV is a fork of the original Bitcoin blockchain, under the leadership of Craig Wright, who claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the formerly anonymous creator of Bitcoin.
    While I'm not here to say whether or not Mr. Wright is the true creator of Bitcoin, I am here to play and share my opinion on what might be the most innovative game we've seen on this series to date!
    How is that possible? Well, you'll just have to watch the video to find out!

    This might be the most interesting one you've covered simply because it seems as if, unlike all the others, the devs here actually believe fully in blockchain gaming...... and it completely falls flat on every level as a concept and they're losing a ton of their own money instead of grifting it from others.

      I'm convinced that blockchain gaming is an inherently flawed concept. You're taking a decentralized, trustless ledger and using it as the backbone of an online game (which is inherently centralized.) This is basically the same situation as Greece and the Euro; the game devs have no way to fix their game's economy when (not if) something goes wrong. And sure, the blockchain may not be hackable, but the game itself certainly is. Ever wonder why duping bugs just won't go away? Well they're basically impossible to get rid of completely, no matter what game you're playing. It's just a limitation of computers that they can't truly "move" things, they can only duplicate and delete the original, and if that process is interrupted... bam, duping bug.
      And the blockchain simply doesn't care, because it only ensures the integrity of the data on it. It does not (and cannot) prevent incorrect data from being put onto it.

      Also, there is no way to play the "game" without buying a shoe. The whole thing was a ponzi scheme from the start, it's actually insane that they got as much money as they did. You know what they say though, if you're not smart and you can't cheat, then you better be first!

    • @bigchungus6827
      @bigchungus6827 6 місяців тому

      @@blindmown Several problems there. Most games don't come built in with features and expectations of allowing you to earn money. In fact, in most games, it's the opposite of that. You willingly give up your money to purchase entertainment. If a game advertises itself as a genuine money making method, you can't just slap such a vague and wide reaching clause over it. Obviously that's ignoring steam marketplace and similar systems which do often allow you to cash out even in games that aren't strictly designed around that.
      As far as ToS, games usually have a clause stating they can ban you for any reason, generally due to edge case offences that aren't permitted, but don't specifically fall under any stated ToS violation. Refunds are usually handled by the game publisher or publishing platform, not the developers themselves, so the conditions tend to be fairly universal, but you generally can't get refunds once you've actually used the game for its intended function of entertainment, yes (steam's policy is actually fairly forgiving in comparison). That's in line with how most products work. Giving up your legal rights to sue the company, while I can't say I've personally ever seen it stated in a ToS, is not admissible in court. In many legislations, especially in the states, you can sue essentially anyone for essentially any reasons. Whether you'll win a lawsuit or not is debatable, since the technicalities regarding digital material like video games are still largely non specific, but ToS are generally not legally binding as far as a court of law is concerned, and nobody is going to take a blanket "can't sue" clause seriously.
      As for owning a game, obviously you don't, yea. The owners are the people who hold the IP, which is usually the developers. What you pay for when you buy a game is an individual copy that gives you the license to use a product.
      All of these are fairly normal things. What CryptoFights does, which includes *unathorized remote access to your device at any time* is not normal and is, in fact, very worrisome.

Think that’s a sign NFT games as a concept are scams by nature.
      Still like the positives of my idea, though: a job RPG where the NFTs (or just tradables, in case this ever gets made in a way that isn’t scammy and energy wasteful) are the jobs. It would still function as a game whether you had them or not, so long as someone actually designed and wrote a good RPG. Furthermore, making the jobs themselves the tradables, while being the main source of the problems, mainly exists to A) make each player’s run different by nature of having access to different jobs, and B) allowing players to trade jobs with each other (or if we’re still going full NFT, that’s the player market).
      Ultimately, the concept is an attempt to take the broken, pyramid scheme style nature of NFT games as a whole, and use that framework to promote unique experiences and community interaction in something trying to be a legitimate game. And yet ultimately I hope this doesn’t ever happen. I like this idea a lot, but I also think NFTs and crypto as a whole are massive scams that nobody should buy into. This whole thing was just the inner entropy of a mind that likes to take broken ideas and imagine ways for them to work.

Adding in the blockchain means the game has to be always online even in single player, it means everything is slower, and it's extremely expensive.

    Spamming the blockchain with singleplayer combat logs is hilarious because if it were on a "legit" blockchain, people would be sending these game devs death threats for, you know, pointlessly spamming the service that all of their stuff runs on! But because it's not even a legitimate blockchain everyone is fine with it because an inflated log makes it look like people use it which boosts the resale value.

The idea was that players could play 1v1 without needing any external server. The two players where able to verify each others actions, including those that where done in secret and revealed later (like some actions in a card game) and each would produce a demo file where both parties essentially have signed off that the game happened exactly like that including who won.

    "If don't trust the developers to the point where you need to audit them, you got bigger problems." There is a saying "trust but verify", most people aren't outright paranoid about the game cheating them, but being able to verify that it isn't is a nice feature.
    Too bad the implementation is totally botched with transaction fees for every action, not to mention (as you pointed out) it doesn't actually verify jack shit, since they can pre-try many seeds before sending you the one they want.
