This will go very well. One step away from getting "paid" to do repetitive actions. Like a "paycheck" for "working". How could that ever go wrong.
It's not even one step away, that's basically the whole point. If you sucker enough people into the pyramid scheme, you yourself can turn a profit.

I just had a sad thought as well. The thought that a lot of people are going to play this. There's the small community of cryptobros already out there excited to try it, and a bunch of people are going to play it either ironically or out of curiosity. Not to mention the mountain of Square-Enix stans out there.

Yup, it will start spectacularly (serious)! Last idk, 6 months? A year? Then instantly close and every dipshit holding the bags will be stunned, never saw it coming.

Shitload of money if you're in day one, and get out in the first month.

It's going to be just successful enough that Square-Enix will keep trying. Each attempt is going to be more successful than the last until this whole "Web 3.0", "blockchain" crap is just everywhere. It'll gradually get normalized until we can't even remember video games without it.

Square-Enix's mindset appears as though if a $20M video game grosses $100M, it's a failure. But if a $20M NFT-based game grosses $22M it's going to be a wild success and proof that they need to lean into that direction.

This needs to fail. It needs to fail very hard and immediately. Not for Square-Enix, but for the gaming medium altogether.

If the human population weren't growing increasingly desperate and increasingly stupid, it would instantly fail.

People will do anything for a dollar. And be convinced it's the right thing to do cause hustle culture and monetizing your hobbies.

Can't wait for the exposé on how gamers are hiring people for pennies to grind out these nfts for them in search of a profit

Y'know, as if it hasn't already happened with other nft games

Every game they've released for the last 18 years has been Not Final Fantasy Tactics and it's about time they rectified that.

If you dislike the current direction, start paying for single player games lol.

Everytime a studio released a $50-$70 single player game getting 7/10 on metacritic, players left a "Not worth the price" "wait for the sale" review as plenty of 7/10-9/10 games cost $2-$10 on Steam.

In last 3 months I spent total of $4 on games despite I play video games 1-2 hr a day everyday. That's how cheap games are these days.

Eventually studios will look for different ways to make money because the market is oversaturated. There are too many games to play but not enough time to consume them all. Single player game just isn't that profitable anymore, except a selected few titles getting all the attention.

100m gross revenue? Lol most of the Japanese single player games aren't going to hit that number.

A $50 game that sold 500k copy would make about 25m only. Cut the marketing fee, development fee, bank fee, tax, sales platform fee(which is like 30% on steam) you aren't going to see anywhere close to 100m gross revenue....not even 20m probably....

Star ocean 6 sold 44k copies in the first week btw, not anywhere close to 500k copies. Most of the old SE single player IP are dying and it is not appealing to current gen players unfortunately.

If SE wants to try for a new market, let them do it. They have 5k employee's family to feed after all.

That's the joke I was trying to make. They've been saying every game is unsuccessful, regardless of its actual sales. It's as if they're intentionally trying to make video games look like a lost cause, presumably in an effort to make their NFT ventures look better by comparison. The joke was that even if a game grossed $100M, they'd still point at it and say "See?! Video games aren't profitable! What a failure!"

Yeah, those are AAA titles. because AAA games are too expensive to make so they need even more sales than AA games to make a profit. 500k-3m would be very good for an AA game, AAA games probably needs 5-10m sales or more. I've read somewhere that AAA games needs 10m sales to be considered profitable.

SE isn't the only AAA developer suffering from low sales. Ubisoft is also struggling as well. It's very difficult to sell one game to 10m people at $60-$70.

Me studying for Windows OS Certification: "Starting from Windows 10, there wont be any major upgrades, but incremental channges. Supposelly all future new features will be charged as extra. But currently, its given for free by Microsoft."

Me: ow yes, please make all new feature paid, so that I can simply not have any. Personally, I feel like 9 out 10 new features for any system are things I never asked, I never felt like I needed, and that I felt like I have a really hard time to adapt.

Eiryl has no sense of humor, confirmed.
