This is exactly what I’m talking about. If you want to learn you have to embrace criticism instead of getting defensive.

There’s nothing people like less than being educated. Especially when they have a good circle jerk going.

Not gonna lie this site is especially bad about it.

Axie proved that it’s possible with NFTs and crypto. They’re just shitty at maintaining the game economy. EVE has been going strong for well over a decade with their economy.

Okay but that doesn’t give the a disadvantage in the game. Which is where they earn currency in a play to earn game. Every player is on even footing. The only way to make more money is to play more. Not to buy power ups or items that give you an advantage over other players.

That just means there’s market share available fir the taking. Proof of concept already shows its profitable and desirable to players.

It’s only a pyramid insomuch as capitalism is a pyramid scheme.

How are cosmetics an advantage?

I don’t think this is the case. Take free to play games for example. These games certainly benefit from an expanding user base, but the majority of their income comes from a minority of players, the so-named whales, who spend inordinate amounts of money on the game.

Play to Earn games just take this model and instead of keeping all the profits, they redirect some to the players who don’t spend as much money in the game. This has the benefit of increasing the player base, thus enticing more whales and sustaining the economy.

The problem that I’ve seen is that many play to earn games are also pay to win. This means that the whales are pulling a larger portion of profits back out of the game than is sustainable, thus devaluing currency for players who don’t spend as much money and destroying the player base. Ultimately collapsing the game economy.

If play to earn games stick to cosmetic transactions so that whale’s don’t have an unfair advantage in gameplay there’s no reason they can’t continue to function indefinitely.

There’s a lesson about global economics somewhere in their but I’m too lazy to find it.

They usually do. I can’t think anyone I know that has a literal nuclear family.

Even the name nuclear family is manufactured. People don’t actually fit in neat boxes like that.

Accurate

I never considered this. Communists on Mars when?

Doesn’t that make nuclear families just as valid as any family structure?
