Shocker, the guy is financially tied to crypto bro games and therefore is desperate to save the bad rep it got from scamming people

I love how were the bad guys now for wanting games to be about the gameplay and having fun and not about making money with a army of bots and daily log ins

So wait... he's saying out loud that "this is something Blizzard could have done, but specifically chose not to pursue," and it didn't occur to him to ask why?

"When PC Gamers switched over to Mobile Gaming it was hard" I laughed XD, this man completely lacks any self awareness or is so desperate for cryptogaming to be a thing he needs to cope.

I think you hit the nail on the head - nobody wants to play a game where they're social nobodies due to financial limitations, but the appeal to these dudes is carrying that sense of power INTO gaming. Then nobody wants to play the plebian to their millionaire so their game is empty and they all rage. They're like little girls playing house and they want all their friends to pretend to be their kids and do what they say.

I love how none of his arguments were "the gameplay is good", but all of his points were "this is designed to be an investment, so stop undermining my investment!"

Elden Ring sold more than 12 million units in its first 2 weeks. Final Fantasy XIV averaged near $200 million per month last year. Eternal Paradox, which Kira looked at a couple days ago, made 17 sales over 3 months. The numbers speak for themselves.

"When somebody says you can solve X with blockchain, they don't understand X, and you can ignore them."

The best part about these cryptobros is that they are constantly losing money, constantly getting proven wrong, and completely delusional about the motivations of gamers, yet they still approach everything from a belief that anyone who isn’t on their hype train is an absolute moron for not buying into it. The study of the psychology of incessantly online, echo-chamber inhabitants is going to be be its own field eventually

Remember, arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. He'll knock over the pieces, sh*t all over the board, and then strut around like he's won.

I know a lot of gamers in real life and not a single one of them has ever expressed interest in these crypto games.

His one comment about "I've played every major title, you can't make blanket statements because you don't even know me" sums up his major problem all in one go. You are attacking blockchain games, which he has tied his entire identity to (seemingly unconsciously) and he is taking it personally. When someone critiquing a thing (that you had nothing to do with creating) and you are taking it as a personal attack, take a step back and try to figure out why. Also, as a general heads up to future crypto-game defenders, you need to understand that it's not just blockchain that turns gamers off. If you can purchase things in a game in any way for real money that go beyond cosmetics, you are turning away probably 95% of your potential playerbase right away. SOME free to play games can go pay to win and do alright because they are free to play. Crypo games are not free to play (some might be. but let's be honest it would probably be more fun to strike your own dick with a hammer than play a crypto game as a free player) and often require a substantial investment just to get started, and on top of this have the worst type of pay to win economy you can imagine. Nobody wants to deal with that shit. These games are never going to take off.

Him: Don't generalize Also him: Talk to any Old Guys Don't waste time with him.

"Who is this person who just wants games to come out." Ummm...almost everyone.....

When he's talking about the rarity of Mew, what he's saying is for him to enjoying having a Mew, other people need to not have it. Not that it should be a reward for achieving the very best in the game, just that it should be rare and some people should never have the option to "catch 'em all" because they don't have enough money.

I think the other game you covered perfectly sums it up. These crypto gamers want two tiers of players. They want to have NFT land so that they can be the land owners and then the rest of us gamers are serfs, playing the game on their virtual NFT land, earning THEM money while we “play” the game and use our PCs to process blockchain transactions. It’s unreal the disconnect that they don’t realize people don’t want to be serfs in both real life and in their video games.

I'm not a crypto bro he said. I'm not sponsored by gala he said. Meanwhile his bookmarks are only crypto and gala 😅

Cryptobros don't like hearing logic of real gamers.

Watching Cryptobros trying to convince gamers and non-cryptobros that Crpyto would be the future of gaming reminds me of the guy who seemingly unknowingly pitched a pyramid scheme on Shark Tank. The guy kept pushing and pushing, even when the panel basically walked him through the entire thing he was pitching and showing him it was a pyramid scheme. He couldn't seem to accept it. Cryptobros can't seem to accept that, no, gamers don't want this, end of story. It's... just sad.

That email response is one of the best things I've seen all year 😂😂😂 Absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣 Never change Kira

I love how all the crrypto bros can't stand being called out an dhave to rush to the defense due to the high scam rate of this nonsense, and their game will be the "exception"

I just like the phrase "All of the world of warcraft titles" it really sounds like something a real gamer who knows what warcraft is would say. I'm guessing he looked up this guys history and saw all of the wow "expansions" he worked on and thought they were different games in the world of warcraft series, which is actually the warcraft series.

I think I learned something from this video. When Kira first covered this project, I was somewhat confused by why they'd keep mentioning stuff you can do if you own property, but never mentioned what the non-owners would do. I mean, even if the goal is to someday own land (which only a limited number of people can do), there has to be something to draw people in in the meantime, right? But watching this guy, and his attitude that scarcity is what matters in a game, tells me that they're not concerned with drawing in the masses. They're just trying to appeal to the folks whose idea of a good game is having something they can lord over the have-nots. (I'm sure this realization isn't a revelation to most, but I've only recently started seeing videos about cryptogaming and the folks who support it.) But if the games don't offer a fun experience for the have-nots (other than hoping to someday be one of the lords), why would they join this game, or stick around once they do? And if there are no have-nots, and the only players are ones who bought stuff to lord it over others, who are they lording it over? By focusing exclusively on the people who want to be super-special, you'll end up with only the super-specials in the game. And when everyone's super, no one will be.

In order to criticise Kira, he basically dunks on his own content. He says that the Mirandus overview video, which he himself made, isn't a good enough representation of the game and doesn't do it justice. Amazing.

I think the saddest part of this video, is that at the end of it, Tendiesbro was like "I fucking got him". All he did was showcase exactly why people don't like NFT 'gaming'. Anyway, I look forward to the video about Arya trying to take this video down as well.

Damn, imagine if you came to FF14 and you wanted to play a Dragoon or a Black Mage only to find out that all of the 10k soul crystals for those classes are taken and you are stuck with your regular job. And you can't play any of the expansion classes for the same reason. And you can't get any tomestones, because the limited amount of them has already been raided and is now in the hands of players that don't even pay the sub. Truly a future of gaming. Edit: Actually, i don't need to imagine this. The housing market already exists. And while i still have this thread of thought, here's more ways to ruin the player experience with artificial scarcity in FF14: 1. You can't play a catgirl, a bunnygirl, an Au Ra girl, or a girl of any kind, or even a Lalafel, because the game needs to "maintain racial diversity in the playerbase", so you are stuck with a basic ass ugly human. 2. You can't complete your fashion, because the helmets of the kind you want are sold out and can only be made by crafters. Who's soul crystals are taken. And who can't make shit anyway, because the natural resources of the game world are drained anyway. 3. You can't fight a primal you want, because the Beast Tribe that is supposed to summon it doesn't have enough crystals to do so. And they can't accumulate anymore, because they've all been eradicated. And then someone had a brilliant idea of tying that shit to the story progression as well. 3.5 YOU CAN'T PROGRESS THE FUCKING STORY, because the 8 people who did every major trial first have already killed the villains. You are never going to see Emet Selch, because he is already dead. If someone looks at this and still says that artificial scarcity in gaming is a good idea, then they are fucking braindead, period.

Kira: "People play video games to escape. Not to be in some corporate nightmare scape" Lobotomy Corporation: ¿Por qué no los dos?

"never heard of cryptoland." all right you can tell this dude is playing an act or is apart of some science-fiction Snatcher assimilation project because there's nobody on the internet who hasn't memed on cryptoland in the last year

I love that cryptobro just stopped the video and talked about it instead of just showing the point that he's reacting to, just after he shot himself in the foot saying 'Kira reacts to horrible examples' and said that's the game he made a trailer for! lol

I'm loving all these mini Kira videos. 10/10

I feel like this back-n-forth response stuff was exactly what Aria Reality wanted from you back in the day when he was asking about how much money you made off content n stuff. It must burn him up to see you dancing with another partner.

You watched this video to entertain people like me for an hour. Thanks for making the sacrifice - it's entertaining to hear your thoughts/opinions/reactions.

"You shouldn't group people together" Groups together all gamers Groups together all of Kiras audience Groups together all older people Groups together all triple A devs This dude breathes hypocrisy.

Considering how many people refuse to play EVE Online due to how much of a perceived advantage veteran players have, how many are going to accept that in a game that has that same "first movers" advantage on the first day.

Every time that they talk about rarity I wanna scream. Newsflash, most people are not a fan of being gatekept out of being able to play the game they want to for the sake of preserving the value for someone else! 1000 Elves that exist ever is extraordinarily different than only getting 1 of each Legendary Pokemon per playthrough. Both are 'rare', but one doesn't infringe on one's ability to enjoy the sandbox and what is in the game.

The funniest thing about cryptobros talking about gaming is that they all talk like they've never played a game before and actively detest gaming as a hobby.

"Come and play our new game" "What's its primary feature?" "You get to pay your wages to a landlord, but online"

anybody that says "i have played every major title" did not play every major title. That's a REALLY LARGE list and gives me a lot of doubt. Ok maybe he played COD releases or one or two MMOs or battlefields etc but just those i listed is a TON of your time each day. I highly doubt you truly played every major title. But, maybe his definition of major title is different than mine.

The man most likely knows nothing about the in depth nuances in gaming, and he’s telling us, who have a lot of interest and knows a lot of in depth nuances in gaming, that we knows less and he knows better? Guess that Cryptobruh narcissism in a nutshell for you

Just imagine when you're in a game, and instead of gold your bank account ballance is shown for how much money you have. That is pure horror, i'm already scared to look at my bank account

The thing is you don't have to defend a good game, it defends itself.

Remember when games were about challenging ourselves against tough bosses and finding the rare/hidden treasures and having fun? Yeah... good times.

Loving all the small videos over the past few days, daily Kira vids are always a treat

The bro clearly did a search "largest gaming volume, PC or mobile?". And the rest is history. I would be very surprised if he ever played a game. His opinions are possibly based on the amount of adds that pop up while watching videos.

I feel like I just watched Kira's soul slowly seep out of his body, and I should apologize to him for laughing at it so much. But it was so funny and frustrating...

There is one good use case for NFTs and gaming. Make a digital game an NFT so you can resell it when you're done. The whole game. The entire thing. Bring the used game market to the digital space. Thing is? NFT bros or game devs will never do this because it's not a way to line their pockets. They don't care about digital ownership. If they did, they'd put their money where their mouth is and let you sell the game when you were done with it.

Is it criminal to enjoy watching Kira bully the mentally challenged?

"Not only is it the same thing, but it's better!" I just can't with this guy! lmaoo! More gold Kira, keep up the great work!

I love when he said he was excited for the game. Never mentioned what he was excited to do in it and instead basically said it's fun to interact with the people on the discord and give feedback. We all know the reality is what he is excited about when it comes to these 'games' is 'making money' which for people like him amounts to dumping his bags on his gullible audience. Also I'd eat my shoe if this guy has played a single game before he was able to monetize them on twitch or something.

These games are simply a bad business idea. What do you do with a bad business idea? You drop it and move on despite whatever you personally think. The market decided quite a while ago now that no one wants this stuff. Trying to force a bad idea on the market because they're just positive people want it will ruin them. They are too personally invested in these projects and need to stop being emotional about them. This isn't a new widget they poured sweat and blood into in a shed in their backyard while everyone laughed at them but they're acting like it is. It's this "hustle" mentality that drives people to side-gig treadmills and get rich quick schemes that never pan out.

One thing you both didn't mention with all of this is that it takes the extra step to create a wallet and charge it up with crypto. When I wanna buy a wow token, I pay with PayPal and that's it. When I wanna buy crypto to buy something on open sea (and correct me if I'm wrong) I cannot simply just buy it with PayPal. I need to make a wallet, buy currency on an exchange platform (which sometimes asked for an ID like my passport besides making another account) and then I need to have an eye on it every damn day in case the market crashes. Sure that happens with fiat currency too, but that is backed by huge banks which won't let it fail so easy. If a crypto fails, no dev, no company will pump in the money to bring it back to its original or even a fragment of that. They just... Move on... When I resell my wow token I get money back for the blizz store which will roughly give me the same amount as store credit again which I can use to purchase other things which are worth the same.

"When we switched to mobile gaming it was tough transition...No it wasn't they just don't play it." Nailed it again Kira. That guy is obviously not a gamer. I know no gamers who got rid of their consoles or pc's and just play games on their phones. This guy is right up there with that Blizzard guy as clueless and tone deaf "Don't you guys have phones?"

"cLaSh Of ClAnS, aNoThEr GrEaT mObIlE gAmE!"

So nice of loserbro to give you so much material you can make into content :D

Regarding interoperability Kira? You forgot to mention that we can already actually do that without the blockchain. As you said, companies have to come together to do it but it's absolutely something that is easily done if companies already want to and without the blockchain at all, it wouldn't actually add anything to the process except expense.

I always like these videos because every game Kira mentions you can replace their name with "Star Citizen" and it would work 100% interchangeably

dafuq did i do to deserve over an hour of kira??? #MondayMiracles

I wonder how much of his families life savings he's invested in these games, clearly very motivated to convince people these games are the future.

Him: "Hey you are just looking at the bad games, here is a list of good ones" Kira: "Ok, I start by looking at one of them, it's shit" Him: "Wait no don't look at that one I told you about, that one is clearly bad but the rest are great!"

I don’t think this Gala shill deserved over an hour of Kira’s time, but it is content.

Man is in a different universe. He can sit there and say with a straight face that having to buy into a game for hundreds or thousands of $ just to get a level 0 character is a good thing.

If he wants to have his NFT game, fine more power to him. I wish him the best of luck. But we can see that these games are low effort with no passion.

Actually find it insane how he keeps saying "you don't get it" but doesn't get why, regardless of gameplay, Blockchain games don't showcase their own speculative benefits and only showcase how gamers can be further taken advantage of.

this reminds me of earth2 when they would sale "land plots" before the game was even being produced. its like the aaa companies tryed to add crypto stuff and nft's and they flop as a result, so if giant game compony cant even do it what makes these guys think they can make it. the reason they fail is because no one wants to spend money on useless pictures or games that are more about the ingame store then the game itself. in recent years ive seen games from giant companies fail because they want to add this kind of stuff.

Always funny how these crypto projects attract a very specific kind of person. This honestly felt like watching a 12 year old trying to articulate his terrible argument, although the 12 year old would probably have been less smug throughout.

"I'm not a cryptobro" oh honey

I feel like people don't talk about it but Kira is one of the funniest creators I follow. Not only are the videos informative and really interesting but they make me laugh out loud almost every time. I really think Kira could be a comedian if he wanted to. The comedic timing and quick wit is so good.

That's true about viewership and sub count. I subbed to a couple of creators that I liked at the time but then they either didn't match what my opinion came to be or their content went in a direction that I didn't feel was entertaining to me so I still kept my sub to them but just check back periodically to see if their content or a video that I'm interested in is worth viewing. Meant to remove my sub from them but like everything else......Life happens...then you forget altogether.

I've played a lot of MMOs over the years, and generally, MMOs are the most fun when they come out and everyone starts out fresh at the same level. If NFT games are selling lands and gear before the game even comes out, it's already not that interesting for any new players.

Dude is so far into the crypto bro closet he about to find FTX's missing money.

"I just spoke, you understood it perfectly" what a bold statement

“When we switched over to mobile gaming” who did? Not me.

Nice. I was wondering who could possibly replace our boy Arya and lo and behold 8bit Tendie appeared

"Failed crypto games", also known as, crypto games.

45:00 oh yea, don't you all remember what a good idea the rarity of being able to be a Jedi was in Star Wars Galaxies?

If 5 of your bookmarks are related to Gala Games and your first bookmark is a folder that just says "Crypto"... Yea, you might be a cryptobro.

Not directly related to the video, but as a little side note i can give cryptobros as someone who does network programming: there is already a way to make interoperable assets without the blockchain. Its called a database! 😁 A good example for interoperable assets are minecraft skins, which can just be downloaded via an api call and be implemented wherever allowed. Or maybe a better example: oauth is literally a universal login system working on multiple sites without the need of a "metaverse" or blockchain 😁👍 The only thing stopping assets from being interoperable is the fact that game companies don't want that, because they obv. don't want you to use third party stuff on THEIR plattform. This is not a technical issue 👍

He's owned every gaming counsel. Don't forget

I think one of the disconnects is that the crypto boys are not gamers, so they dont know what to expect from a game, so they have no idea how to put a value on the game, instead being drawn in by crypto, forgetting that the game needs to be good to keep the crypto going.

after the first video i wanted kira to cover all those games for the laughs, now i'd rather not because that's the only thing this guy wants.

Must be convenient to have "never heard of" everything with negative coverage and use that lack of knowledge as proof that it's actually a good thing. Instead of deciding to look into it they just go "oh these are the only bad players in the entire thing and everyone else is super legitimate"

58 here and crypto is nothing, it failed at being a consistent medium of exchange and the greed will eventually do it in. Leave games alone please we don't want crypto bullshit in them.

He is clearly heavily heavily invested in Mirandus just by his body language.

1 hour of laughing at crypto maniac? I'm here for it.

I kinda feel bad for that dude, cause he seems extremely lost and confused

Challenge: Cryptobro trying to comprehend the fact most gamers hate p2w: Impossible.

he raises the point that transaction fees exist to support the developers... AFTER making a huge deal out of the ability to take your items and resources to ANY third party marketplace to sell them, meaning you will bypass the transactions fees for the devs and pay them to someone else. And if the devs claim transaction fees from you selling your stuff freely on the blockchain it's not really decentralized anymore, is it?

10/10 response. I love how he thinks them not being “stock assets” is a win. It’s not. It just shows how lazy it is.

11:03 this blows my mind EDIT: im 20 mins in now and im convinced hes baiting you

Something that I didn't know until I tried to get into sales is that salespeople tend to be the most easily impulsed type. They know the game but still can't help themselves and they judge everyone else by that standard. It's of no surprise to me at all that the 'trust me bro' personalities are the most sunk and that they are eating where they sh!t.

This video is a horrifying example of how the truth is so much more expensive than a lie. A 24 minute 'reaction' video requires a further 1 hour 10 minute response video to thoroughly debunk.

infinite content glitch. you need to milk this harder. 5 hour reaction videos minimum

i freaking LOVE Kira! He will tell you like it is, and not give a f**k!

They're so desperate to defend their investment and it's really sad. Would they give a fuck about any of these games if it didnt have crypto or nfts? No ofc not

I get the feeling that dude is trying to jump on Kira's name and rake some free exposure

1:07:04 yeah right - if this guy is 35 he wasn’t playing Atari growing up. I’m 39 and the only people I knew who had ever touched anything pre-NES were my much older cousins.

He called Clash of Clans a good game LMAO. I had a friend try to get me to play that one time like 5 years ago. I took one look at his screen while he was describing the game and laughed in his face.

Is this what they mean when they say someone is doing copium?🤔

One of the best Kira Mini series ever ! Do more !

Its always hard to tell if some has a terrible take or they are just lying for clout.
