    The content is basically “they think it will be different because Nike is a big brand where people already overspend on stuff that’s not actually worth what they pay for it”. There’s some more subtlety in there, but that’s the most compelling argument I could see.

    I… will be very surprised if this doesn’t flop and/or get cancelled.

      That sounds like the last attempts, only this time with Nike involved.

      Video game publishers desperately want NFTs and game streaming to happen. They’re not going to stop trying until it costs them so much money they start firing executives.

      the way they’ve gone from annual improvement releases[1] to a treadmill designed more-or-less to cater to whales and hook people with addiction problems because those people make more money than casual users is one of the most depressing tendencies in gaming. at this point you either have to suck it up, or you have be really interested in spreadsheet gaming and/or hang with the limitations of the competition (if there is any)


      1. because yeah, they did actually use to like. add stuff to these games, and make them better and more interesting to play ↩︎
