The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

    Square Enix selling the rights to Deus Ex and Tomb Raider so they could leverage more capital for crypto investment will never not be funny to me.

      I wonder if the suits at Squenix will sell off something else to leverage some virtual real estate in the Metaverse(tm) next.

      I know we haven't seen anything material manifest yet but: stupid as crypto and NFTs are I maintain this is probably the best thing that could have happened snice Square Enix was probably just gonna sit on the IP and produce shitty mobile titles or something for the next decade anyway. Now....we might actually got something worth checking out.

        There's been murmurs of a new Deus Ex title "very very early" in development. Here's hoping something happens and there aren't any dogshit one-time-use microtransactions this time around.
