I have no problem with a blockchain used in non-monetary context. Consider, for example, a competitive RTS/TBS which recorded RNG events or keystrokes to the blockchain, which helps show if there was lag, and helps to verify that the RNG is fair, and that both players aren't cheating. Or a game with a "Speedrun" mode, recording input as blocks, and making sure it's all publicly verifiable. Think of a Doom demo file, but encompassing all attempts from all connected players; new routes can be discovered quicker and cheaters can be outed near-instantly.
Blockchain as a concept is of great value to anything where public auditing is wanted. We've associated it to scams and money, and that bugs me. Including more aggressive monetization, speculation, and a profit motive makes a game less fun. Including a publicly auditable log of past events in a game built for multiplayer feels like it would be a value-add.
That doesn't need to be a distributed ledger, that can just be a database. The only use cases for DLT/Blockchains is where it is undesirable to have a central authority.
Games will always have a central authority - the devs - so there's just no point. Nothing is gained by decentralizing trust, and quite a lot - especially speed and simplicity - must be sacrificed.
This article is a hot mess of spelling mistakes and poor grammar. I see where the writing was going but with all those errors it’s hard to take it seriously.
I’ve been replaying the Baldur’s Gate games lately and I still find them amazing.
I couldn’t afford them when they first came out since I was in high school so I’ve been buying all of them lately (including Planescape Torment). Next is Tyranny probably.
I’m looking for Pool of radiance Ruins of Myth Drannor but can’t seem to find it.
This is a bad omen for starfield imo. All the games i got with my AMD components last year (e.g. forspoken) were garbage. Maybe Bethesda is anticipating that they can’t keep up with the hype around the game which will be badly optimized or buggy at launch (like any other bethesda game) and try to save some profit.
But then again, most gamers have the worst impulse control and will even buy a steaming piece of shit if there’s a possibility to preorder it.
It might just be me, but I’d really like it if the posts were not just links but also included even the slightest bit of effort to them.
In case anyone else looks here, the company in question is Annapurna, and the six games are Cocoon, Flock, Bounty Star, Thirsty Suitors, To A T, and Ghost Bike.
The link has videos for all six games, as well as release dates and the other systems those games will be released on.
Some of the best devs out there and a win-win business model. The new content pays for itself since it just keeps bringing people in, and they feel that's plenty of income to not feel like moving to dlc.
