Remember NFTs? It's the ugly-looking but not cheap digital jewelry, which is said to be a wealth code, and some people spend millions of dollars to buy an ape head, and many people are eager to join in.
But Warren Spector, designer of "Deus Ex" and "Cyber Raiders", recently said that NFTs are ridiculous things that waste time and money.
In a recent interview with ventureBeat, a well-known investment media outlet, Warren Speight bluntly expressed his views on NFTs and blockchain games, saying that overall, the two are a "ridiculous" concept: "Maybe my remarks will make some people angry, but I don't care." ”
Mr. Speight further explained his views, saying he didn't understand why anyone would want to "catch up on the tide, and he said it wasn't a good idea to have people with "unlimited and instantly replicable virtual goods ownership," or which ghost came up with it.
Finally, Speight concludes that for these reasons, he has little interest in NFTs.
When asked by the media about VR and the metaverse, Speight didn't immediately give a negative review, but said the concept was equally unattractive to him, just like social media in previous years.
Speight acknowledges that the metacosm may one day come to fruition, especially at the moment when large companies such as Meta invest a lot of money in it, but it will take time. In this regard, he expressed his gratitude, saying that he prefers to live in the "real world" after all, and he also laughed at himself that if he wore VR glasses, he would not find his wife standing behind him with a stick, and he could not escape in time to be beaten.
And for VR,
Coincidentally, Reggie, the former president of Nintendo North America, also believes that Meta's meta-universe strategy will not succeed in a recent interview with the financial media, saying that Meta itself is not an innovation-driven company, they either directly buy successful things such as Oculus and Instagram, or are fast followers of popular ideas, and Facebook itself is successful by imitating others.
Born in 1955, Speight is now 66 years old, and because he became famous earlier, young players today don't necessarily know him. Compared with the current young independent gamers, this old man speaks very politely. In early February, Itch.io, a well-known indie game selling digital platform, bluntly said that NFTs were a stinky "financial fraud".
Speaking on Twitter, the site said: "I just want to say one word about Fxxk for companies that claim to support creators to participate in NFT games in any way. They never care about anyone, only their own profits and the opportunity to earn money. At the time, the feed received nearly 40,000 retweets and nearly 200,000 likes.
After all, for game developers and players, it is important whether the game is fun or not, and adding NFTs and blockchain to the game will only make the game less pure and lose the original meaning of the game.
Deeper, it is because of the need for mining that players cannot buy the graphics cards needed for the game at the original price, which is also one of the important reasons why the blockchain is not popular with players.
