Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we focus on the world of gaming that's infested with buzzwords such as Metaverses, Blockchain gaming and "Play-to-earn" and discuss just how much of an attack it is on the world of gaming we all know and love. Thanks for watching!

When I was a child, I envisioned VR/gaming/simulation as an opportunity to explore new, complex, exotic, and impossible environments. I foresaw it as a chance for doctors to swim around people's bloodstream or airways to see what's wrong, or for the disabled to experience life as we live it, or for robot operators to be able to maneuver drones in safety. Never in a million years did I imagine that they'd transfer the eternal grift of the real estate bubble to the virtual world. Jesus cyberdecking Christ what is this timeline...

It's one of those things that has cool or at least fun applications, yet is being overshadowed by scummy entities. Instead of innovating and making it better, they've muscled their way in, taking claim of all the associated language and then try to sell you the bare minimum of effort. And with the rise of more "legit" but controlling companies like Amazon and Meta, even the less scammy ones will be tainted by trying to have control of your life through it. (Can you imagine having to go to work with your VR headset all the time? That you have to buy from them? When a webcam or even just email would have sufficed?) Being associated with things like crypto scams and shallow, buzzword filled marketing pushes means that eventually, even trying to develop something for it is going to have to overcome the hurdle of people's reaction being "ugh another one of those things?" The last few years they've basically grabbed concepts that have been slowly growing for decades and are trying to speedrun them into the ground.

Still surprising to see how many companies are trying and failing to chase the success CS:GO has. Skins and knives that sell for thousands or in some cases tens of thousands of dollars, and yet they remain relatively stable for close to a decade now. They show that a digital cosmetic can still provide utility and hold value beyond pyramid scheme reselling.

The amount of times where play to earn ads show up is a constant reminder of why ad blocker exists. Ad settings are completely useless and requests to opt out and even have your ad data deleted only encourages these ads to appear more (even with ad personalization turned off). Even when I do get a response, they only give a generic, yet evasive answer that only makes them sound like they care. Basically, they say "no" while pretending to say "yes". Some ads even force open the play store, which has the potential to spread malware considering that it has to open your web browser first. This is a major scam issue in soo many levels. What's stopping someone from creating an ad with the sole purpose of spreading ransomware?

my thoughts exactly watching this. buying land in SL is expensive, but you can actually DO things with it. you can make a club, a mall, a museum, all sorts of things. Even become a virtual landlord (ugh). But there's certainly ways to also make some money on that content since you can turn lindens into real currency. Not to mention how LL controls the economy so while there are fluctuations, they're not huge with the bust/boom we see in actual economies. Even then, if you don't own land, you can still work for places as a host or dj or other things, or create things, and still earn money for your labor.

The thing about Earth 2 is that all the "new and exciting" future updates are all just ways to get players to give them more money. They're announcing new tiers of systems they don't even have available for "players" to interact with yet. Despite the claims of being a game that accurately replicates Earth (it won't), even the gameplay that it will have is just a series of hoops to jump through in order to cash out. You're not earning a single cent from those resources until you've done those steps- and then you have to hope that other players will want to buy it for some reason. And they seem more focused on keeping players from bailing, than actually developing any kind of game.

you summed it up correctly with one word "belief". just like ANY economy, including real life money economies, it's all 100% BELIEF. We believe that little piece of paper is worth what's written on it. We believe a company will do well, so we put those little pieces of paper into it. The same applies here. And just like with real economies, as soon as we stop believing it's worth anything, it comes crashing down.

paper money is backed by international banks and exchanges. When you invest in apple you have a track record of apple delivering products and you invest in where you see their trajectory. Both the examples have real world interactions and products. Belief doesn’t come into terms for an apple. Any comparison to crypto or NFTs to markets that offer physical goods is just incorrect.
