They say us gamers don't understand the Metaverse... when the irony is we understand it better than anyone else on Earth. We are acutely aware of the limitations of a virtual world and staking real money on virutal economies, because we've been doing it for _decades._ Seeing everyone crazy about a virtual universe existing on top of our physical one confuses us, because it makes us wonder if they've ever heard of an MMO. Seeing people pay 30k for virtual land confuses us, because we know that people /tp or fast travel to where they want to go and so "location, location, location" becomes meaningless. Seeing "Play to Earn" as good thing confuses us, because we know from experience that P2E gamers are the _parasites_ of our communities: they are our gold farmers, our scammers, our rank boosters! We are not behind the times. *_We've been there before you._* And our answer is *no.*

This for me perfectly sums up Crypto Bros way of thinking. They talk how revolutionary it is but aren't willing to do any actual work besides marketing something that doesn't exist. When you think about the amount of time, effort, talent and planning went to developing consoles, even failures like the Atari Jaguar or even the Ouya. Then the success that still had their own problems like the 360 with the red ring of death, ps3's notorious developing tools what Gabe Newell called idiotic and the Wii U's marketing. How the fuck would these guys make a console on par with the market leads with alcohol and a few bored apes worth a couple of Etherium.

What do you mean, the Poliom is going to be a work of technological brilliance. Why? They must have unlocked cold fusion in order to have so much power in such a tiny machine. My GPU alone is twice the size of the Polium console, and my GPU don't raytrace shit. I will now preorder 1000 Polioms and scalp them, now that people are totally gonna buy this thing and it's totally getting developed. Can't wait to make money!

The most sus thing about this is that this "company", which names itself "Polium", seems to have gone to great lengths to not reveal _anything_ about themselves. Not even if it's an actual company at all. They have no official website. Well, they have, but it's solely an ad for that supposed console, and it contains zero company information. No copyright notices, no "about us" page, no "contact us" page, nothing. Literally zero information anywhere what kind of "company" this is supposed to be. There's not much more information elsewhere either. All articles about this just refer to some vague "Polium", with zero details about what or who they are. Go to the main website of pretty much any company and, usually on the bottom, you will almost invariably find links to info pages about the company, what they do, how to contact them, legal stuff, copyright notices, and so on and so forth. Not in this case.

The theme of the bast 2-3 years...

When I first saw this, and before I watched the video, I had a thought. On paper, blockchain could be used to give a digital version of game ownership similar to owning physical copies. Basically a transferable game key. That said, it would never work simply because A) they would be eventually "sold out," removing one of the best benefits of digital game sales. B) We'd never be able to trust sellers to provide at a reasonable price due to the unregulated aspect of crypto. C) It would inevitably be prone to the same types of hacks and thefts as current NFT ventures. When I actually watched the video, effing lawl. Crypto Bros be like Tantalus reaching for the (what appears to be) the delicious fruit of the common gaming landscape. It seems like none of these people realize that the grand majority of people don't have the kind of money they do to be throwing around on even safe ventures, let alone risky, scam-laden ones. Even if they somehow succeeded, they'd realize there's nothing there to milk. It's woefully self-contained regardless of our feelings toward it. All they would succeed in doing is locking out people.

@XandreUK

2 жыл бұрын

The thing is, you don't need the blockchain for a transferable digital key. In the old days of PC software, the CD key was not tied to an account, it was tied to the product. The idea was that the key would go with the disc containing the software so if it was sold on, you would no longer have access to the product. Except keygens and No-CD cracks began emerging, allowing for the generation of valid keys and No-CD cracks meant the physical security of a disc was also negated. So it came to be that even on consoles, keys became single-use, with some games locking out aspects such as multiplayer without the purchase of a new license on the digital store. Then publishers realised they could stifle the second-hand market through these keys, such that most swap shops flatout refuse to take PC games that have a launcher logo on them, the net result being that most PC games released after 2010 are impossible to trade in, their discs increasingly irrelevant as internet speeds grew faster and more stable. A transferable key is entirely possible; launchers simply have databases that mark a game as owned or not and so a transferable key could be made even through something as simple as the trade store, where people can sell their ownership stake in a game to another player, and the launcher delists your own ownership of the game and lists the buyer as the new owner. This already happens when you sell a hat or a skin to another gamer in say CS:GO. The system delists you as the owner, and lists the buyer as the new owner. There is no need for NFT or Blockchain in either example. The means for transferable digital goods has existed since the first in-game marketplace, It doesn't happen for the simple reason that the majority of game developers don't want that to be the case. They get nothing from second-hand sales, so they instead let their games go on sales months after for a short time, where gamers can pay above brick-and-mortar second-hand prices to buy a game for less than retail, but still making more money than they would have made if someone traded it in to a brick-and-mortar store. The big publisher can simply say that if a launcher adds this feature, their games won't be on that launcher any more. And because launchers rely on having the latest and greatest, they don't propose it because no matter what the popular support might be, if 2/3 of the big publishers say, "That's not happening if you want our games", then that launcher rapidly becomes irrelevant. You could argue that an NFT or Blockchain key could be used to purchase a single cross-platform key, but that also doesn't matter. I could log into my War Thunder account on a PC, PS4/5 or whatever XBox is the current one and have access to all the things I've purchased. Even Microsoft has started doing this through their xbox play anywhere titles. The reason most other publishers don't let you do this is simple. If someone have a xbox and a playstation, well if they have it on xbox and want to play with their friends who only have it on PS, they can just buy it again. If the game is relatively new, they might have to purchase at near-full price. If the game is digital only then tough tits, pay full price again. It's not existing technology that prevents resaleable digital goods, it's basic corporate greed.

They have to. To keep NFTs and Crypto alive. Both are built off coming up with new ways to scam people. The new thing is web3. The last new thing was NFTs. Then the next "last thing" with be web3. When they think of something else to overhype as the future of "x".

"Traditional gamers just dont understand how NFT's can improve the gaming landscape" Says a bunch of people who think a console the size of a notebook can run high end games. Might want to learn how video games work at a basic level before you start claiming what can and cant improve them.

Especially when you consider that everything in the Playstation & Xbox is necessary to guarantee the performance for the high-end games. - If Sony or Microsoft can't even make their consoles smaller... how the hell are they going to be able to do that? - Even high-end PCs can't be that tiny under any circumstances. - That's pure bullshit 🤦‍♂️

they just need a few mobile game rip-offs to run on this crap and they call it "high performance games". Well, if you run the original PONG on a mobile phone it performs greatly. High Performance they say, not High Quality...

Great content on this channel. Love the combo of attitude and information

Every ten years since the 1980s they have tried to make virtual reality a thing. At some point, they have to accept that we aren't interested in it than more than just an occasional novelty. I am still very impressed that FB was able to rope in our aunts and high school bullies but they are never getting those people to put on a VR helmet.

There's gonna be some teeny tiny PCB in there that makes the first version of the Raspberry Pi look like a supercomputer. If it even gets built at all.

I think a more fitting name for the Polium One if it sticks with that rectangular mock up image would be the Griftcube, or the Griftbrick.

A wallet button on controller sounds like a wet dream for Activision, EA and Ubisoft.

NFTs are already a sign you want to make money without any effort. Ripping off a logo is also a sign of just that. I didn't think it was possible to brand yourself two completely different ways and yet have both compliment each other in the worst way possible perfectly. 5:57 They'll be lucky if they sell 100, let alone 1 million.

Love that you have proof of the site before they changed it. Now it says scanner instead of TouchID and the 8k HDR is no longer there to be seen. Such an ill tasted attempt at a money grabber, hope they actually get sued.

The funniest interaction I’ve had with an NFT Bro was when Valve did the most awesome thing and banned NFT Games from Steam, and they said “Steam will be dead within 3 Years”. After I let them know that wouldn’t happen, they _actually_ tagged the Remind Me bot and set it up for 3 years. This was like a year or two ago, I forget. Steam is still going as strong as ever. I can’t wait for the Bot to activate.

How do they imagine they will sell this thing? They won't convince any store to sell them in any quantity that would make it a success, especially since shipping them to third party stores is a huge investment, and anyone who cares even slightly about games in the first place, will avoid their website like the plague! They are literally trying to sell a product that no one wants, to people who don't want it, in a place people avoid... They are pretty much trying to sell sand in Sahara, and their target audience is Anakin Skywalker!

If Apple goes into gaming with their new M2 chips, they could likely keep the console very small, but some little indie’s not going to have much more than a re-skinned cellphone at that size.

I actually want to see this thing come out just to see the hardware not match the claims as tech youtubers tear it apart.

The whole wallet button on the controller is hilarious, it's like that meme about the "EA" controller being a credit card machine.

And they pretend it's going to come out in 2024? While the thing is still in prototyping? Holy shit. They have no idea, not the absolute idea, of how dev times in gaming go.

If there is one good thing about this circus, then it is that it fully revealed just how out of touch these companies are with their customers. Everyone is against it, but they still push ahead because they see the possible dollar signs in the future and think they can just shove it down everyones throats by investing money. They deserve to fail because they refuse to learn from their mistakes.
