That's not a great analogy because these crypto-scams don't have a centralized organization overseeing them to keep them "clean", so to speak, and it's by design. A better analogy would be something like this: you walk into a restaurant, and you see that people are eating literal garbage for prices that make even the best Michelin three star restaurants seem cheap, and when pointed out, the owner says "well, it's only a question of time before we become as big as McDonald's and Burger King, so that makes it all good".
There was a Twitter comment that Kira read in an Earth 2 video a while ago. Where a guy admitted that in 1 year he had been scammed 7 times & was convinced that E2 was a sound investment. Some people never learn.
"Okay, what happened in blockchain recently?" "A land-trading metaverse game project turned out to be a scam." "Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?"
I dunno. Judging by all the crypto bots that are totally not bots that I see on every video talking about crypto, they seem to think this is the next big thing and (insert name of the day here) knows whats up and can totally help people out. I mean, its not weird that the majority of "people" that are into crypto currency end up being bots that try to funnel people into a scam, right? Not weird or suspicious at all.
The most surprising thing is this "NFT Game" had any game in it at all. Some limited alpha game play which is very minimal compared to promises is STILL more than most of the NFT "games" out there.
it would be better for them to incorporate and do it non-anonymously. then they could just pay the money to themselves as wages while 'working' on it and bankrupt the corporation to get out of fulfilling any promises.
@@lolasdm6959 that's where paying the taxes for the money comes in and 'working' on the game. it's no different from a startup that fails, basically. the point is that the corporate entity loses it's money legally to the people in exchange of work and then it's just not enough to make the game good/finished. it doesn't even matter if the product was logically impossible to make as long as you tried to make it. hell, in many euro countries you can get government to match the investment to some sum through tech funds. the point is to do it by the book so that the money you earn out of it is legally yours and clean, contributed to your retirement tax fund and everything. sure you need to pay the taxes but that's what you need to do anyway to make it squeky cleanly yours. tldr edit: the point is that it's not a 'scam', but you still had 300k salary for years out of it if you do it legally right selling 'collectible' nft's for a future game and pay _all_ taxes on the chain necessary.
Well the purpose of the "metaverse" (honestly dumb name) is to be VRChat+. Which is why it fails because VRChat is already VRChat+. The biggest issue is that they are marketing VR Chating when they should be trying to make a good working VR MMO.
@@Temperans Who would buy in to a static VR chat scheme when we can already chat while we're fighting Orcs, or competing in auto races or any other activity you can dream up?
@@Temperans Correction: The purpose of the Metaverse is to corner an emerging VR socialzation market, and to monopolize it the same way Facebook did before, so that The Zuck can continue to sell your data to advertisers.
@@SuperChaoticus ... Are you disagreeing, agreeing, or what? I literally have no idea what you post had to do with what I said people actually wanted: To play Aincrad or literally any of the other VRMMO people have thought of in books.

"Hello Metazins" I can not stop laughing at this. Also, your washer machine chime is the exact same as mine so I thought mine was done but was confused when I realized I never started it LMAO
I currently work professionally for a software engineering company branching out into video games. Said company has its hands in crypto. Y'all can probably guess what kind of game I'm working on, and I wish my employers would just get their heads out of their asses and see games for what they really are: pieces of art and not some product to be monetized. My colleagues are great people to work with and I'm compensated very well but I've had to contend with my ethics daily while working on this project. Worst part is they're well aware of the current Crypto NFT landscape and its reputation amongst gamers and they've been rug pulled a few times before themselves.
BUT at least you guys are working on a game. That’s better than 99% of other projects out there. I would probably hate it like you. No matter what. I know you didn’t get into development to work on an NFT game. But it could be worse.
@@wtIUpITp1E0wMsydV19c0FUmIXvCU well my scam job pays me way more than my peers in the same profession and lets me afford the life that I want mate. And even if I'm not fully on board with our project, the fact of the matter is that I still get chance to improve my game dev know how. My employers are also committed to expanding into game development from their usual software engineering projects so I can just pitch them our next game.
I do have one NFT. Given out free to Duran Duran fans who'd booked tickets for some of their shows. Not assuming it has any significant financial value.
I wish I wasn't such a honest guy....I would make a NFT game too then, cash in those millions and then say "Byeeeee" and shut the game down. These guys are on to something, they are smarter then the Steam Early access scammers, they earn way more!
same, it would be so easy. it’s even better than an early access or kickstarter scam because you don’t actually need to deliver a playable game! just open up unreal engine and slap some premade assets around, maybe create a few 3d models of simple colorful characters to make it look more original, and now you’ve got the hottest new metaverse nft project!!!
@@itzYonko no problem, have fun! the only thing holding me back from doing an nft rug pull is that the minting fees are expensive and i would feel guilty about scamming people even if they’re wealthy gullible crypto bros lmao
Hmmm....... Wonder what happened to Dr. Disrespects fps nft game? Haven't seen anything about it since it was announced. Hopefully he came to his senses and bailed on it.
they probably bought a load of ETH for $10 and think investing is easy, So of course the next investment will be just as easy until its not and that ETH is gone along with all their money and of course a lot of them didn't pay tax on this money, so are caught between reporting and then having to deal with the tax man
When countries build their entire economy on a single resource they are at risk of collapse when any decent downturn on that recourses occurs. Thats basically NFT games. They are entirely built around the popularity of NFTs while NFTs are built around popularity of NFTs. Plus, all NFT games are seem to be just gambling.
At this point I thinkthere are people who are simply genetically pre disposed to getting rug pulled the same way there are people that are simply born con men. The real struggle is keeping the two groups apart which sadly I believe to be impossible in the age of the internet.
I can't believe it. Everytime I invest all my money into an anonymous team of developers using unregulated currency to pay anonymous wallets the project turns out to be vaporware. Such bad luck. But I have a good feeling about the next time ...
This reminded me of one of my friends who owns a smoke shop started making and trading his own NFTs. It's a bunch of 3d models of houses (I can't remember the name of his NFT's, sorry). In total they're all worth around 40k if he cashed out right then. I told him that he's gonna be wasting his money investing and that they're all scams. I couldn't properly explain to him why though because of how complicated these things are. It did make me feel really jealous though. I've always wanted to go to art school for animation and with 40k I would be able to afford the tuition out of pocket. Instead I'm filing for disability for mental health being unable to work regular jobs. I'm 24 and I still live with my parents and am completely dependent on them. I'm still trying to put my art out here for years and I never even get commissions. A bunch of my friends from high school were able to go and attend art college right after graduating. I can't imagine what my life would be like now if I could afford to go like they did.
i relate to your situation a lot… i’m 21 and stuck living with my shitty neglectful parents who won’t even let me apply for disability even though i have several diagnoses that are eligible for it. the only difference is i made the mistake of actually going to art school. my parents live near the college so i have to live with them and commute to classes until i graduate. if it’s any consolation, animation school is BRUTAL and you will not learn anything there that you couldn’t learn from skillshare or youtube tutorials. the only real benefits are the teachers with industry connections who can hopefully help you find jobs later, and getting to access some nice computers and equipment. so far i’ve put myself hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt by going to ringling college. it’s miserable here. the school’s culture is very toxic and competitive. i got kicked out of the animation major after 2 full years of being in it, because i got a 68% in one class. i had to pick a new major and start all over. i have no idea what will happen to me once i graduate because i took out so many student loans to go here, and i don’t even know if i’ll have a portfolio good enough to get me a job. having a degree doesn’t matter too much in these industries. a lot of the time employers care more about your portfolio and how well you advertise yourself. it takes a lot more work than ripping people off with nfts, but you can totally find some cheap or free online courses about animation and 3d modeling, and put together a portfolio that could hopefully at least get you an entry level job! id actually suggest doing that instead of going to art school which is really stressful and expensive. in my experience, animation school is not worth it. the skills you learn there can be learned from other sources that are more affordable and better for mental health.
@@stinky59 Funny Ringling was the exact college I wanted to go to if I had the money. I'm pretty close by the Art Institute but couldn't afford that either. Hearing your story though made me feel a bit better. I heard it was tough but didn't really know how tough it is. Things happen for a reason I guess. I am learning modeling and 3d animation in blender now and have an idea for a ps1 game I'm working on. Theres so many free programs and resources out here now I feel like degree's and stuff aren't really necessary anymore. I hope things will work out for you in the end. Sounds like you're going through hell. I've been there. Trust me, things do get better. It takes time and it'll make you a stronger person in the end. Btw for your disability claim, best bet you'll need a lawyer to foward your claim to the social security office, otherwise it will most of the time be rejected. I've been trying since 2016 so don't think you're doing anything wrong there.
@@l1z4rdon7 yeah you dodged a bullet! ringling is really tough on students, at least in the animation major because that’s what the school is known for. other majors are less competitive and im not as stressed out now that i’m in entertainment design. the campus isn’t great either, i have no idea where all that tuition money goes but it must not go to the facilities because the elevators and AC break down all the time and the food on campus is really bad. thanks for ur advice and good luck with your game! :D
@@stinky59 lol I have to go to Tom Nook to take out a house mortgage to afford tuition and the AC keeps breaking down? And in Florida no less, the worst state to be in without one. That alone just turned me right around and out of the country lol. Gods speed to you comrade. ;3
Scams like these really make me wish I was more criminally oriented. At this point, if you are actually still buying in to NFTs, you deserve to get ripped off.
Hypothetically, let’s say a community member takes this code & improves upon it causing a significant improvement in “players”, watch these guys suddenly do the quickest 180 in history, deny the open sourcing & throw decentralisation down the toilet by litigating ownership of the IP. Please let this happen if only for the LOL’s. If they had any confidence in the quality of the “game”, it’s mechanics or ideas they wouldn’t be giving it away. This is an open admission that the whole project concept is & always was valueless.
This was one of the fastest bursting economic/scam bubbles ever, and thank god for that. Just a year ago, the narrative was that NFTs are the future, and anyone not jumping onto the bandwagon will be left behind by the times. Now, the only time you ever hear about NFTs is when someone reports yet another "project" crashing, or yet another rug getting pulled. Good riddance, I say.
E2 is inspiration for all these scummy scamming people, how does this keep happening ? How does anyone truly believe that these people are going to bring you the BEST NFT project ever ? 🤣
I wonder if in like 20 years some weird collector community will find remnants of these web3 projects and collect them as 'cult classic / retro' things for some reason. Like three generations from now BAYC will be like POGs. Or if any of these things would even be able to attain that 'low bar' of success.
The corporate strategy with NFT Games is so backwards. They get huge Investment up front, then very little income after that, there’s no incentive not to rugpull and/or exit scam.
We live in a society where the last real desperate hope to change someone's life, to get a little bit of leeway instead of just living from month to month was NFTs.
Y'know, with all the hype these "games" garner, if a dev team made a proper game that actually worked and was fun to play, I wonder how much more successful it'd be. Highly doubt that will ever happen though; high effort marketing and next to no development time turns into high profits when they pull the rug. It'd take actual effort and skill to create something that's genuine
They make some crappy excuse to get money then close the servers down so they don't have to pay for them. Im sure there are some NFT things that are OK but most seem like trash.
Hahaha bro your washing machine tune really messed me up, I was like I guess my wife started a wash earlier, then hearing it again and you commenting on it haha
It's actually really hard to get a game even a good game to maintain a player base. Games don't succeed on purely merit. It's mostly marketing really. Well since they made millions they probably had the marketing down tho.
If players would be given back some control like the ability to host their own dedicated servers and no requirement per-se for some dev/publisher master server to run then it wouldn't even require that much attention from official side. Every game has a life cycle. But some will live kinda beyond if they are made well enough, have a passionate fanbase (as small as it may be) and aren't made obsolete by sequels. But these metaverse/NFT shitprojects are running mostly on fumes and hype only. Nothing can save them. They are primed to fail from the start.
just checked Arya's channel as I recently saw the dmca abuse and drama video about him but his most recent video on his channel is from 9 months ago. did he delete a bunch of his own videos or something? or has he just given up on covering e2 on youtube
Prioritizing monetization in a game distorts the game, and usually makes it much worse. And in the crypto space, the monetization is everything. Quality of the actual game is a low priority. Do not put money in to crypto things, the only way you'll make money is if you are on the pump side of the pump and dump, and even if you're on the dev team for the damn thing, there's a good chance the rest of the team will screw you over.
Oh no, such a masterpiece will be lost? A real shame. It needs to be preserved. I'm sure it isn't a simplistic project that I could put together in a few weekends on Unity.
It's gonna be the next GOTY, trust me bro. F*ck God of War or somesuch. Games that look and run like mobile trash or like browser games from the 00s are tHe FuTuRe Of GaMiNg!!!1!11
I'm making a coin based on faith alone. Just believe in it's value! I'm thinking of calling it Quire Boy in honor of the papacy. How many Quire Boys have you got?
Sad thing is that this could actually be a good, fun game. Now if only one of these NFT scam artists would actually be interested in making a game..............there is an actual market there for anybody capable and willing to actually make a good, modern SimCity-like. None of these folks seem to be interesting in doing even the most basic videogame dev work, while half the folks 'investing' in this are utterly insane. Who in their right mind would invest 250K on this utterly random and anonymous project...........I could get taking a game with a few hundred or even thousand bucks, which is a ton of money for a lot of folks already, but there is zero chance you'd get a decent ROI at that level of commitment (even if it did turn out to be a functional end product / platform).
I have never been interested in any social platforms, or the crypto joke. These scams take advantage of the lower class. And getting rich doesn't change your class, your ability to mature is how you do that. I watch your videos just because I am amazed to see how stupid people can be.
I would rather, despite my chronic health condition (severe lung and heart damage due to an accident) do unpaid work for Job and Family Services and hope it gives me enough job experience to be hired onto a proper job instead of doing anything NFT-related.
How do people even have this much disposable income? Most of us are struggling with the basics, atm. Stupid people shouldn't be getting paid this much...
Is anyone really making money off of NFTs? Except the creators of course. Buying an NFT and watching the number grow does not count. I mean actually cashing out more money than you put in.
I hate when the health inspector comes to my restaurant and points out the spoiled food and roaches. I’m like “bro quit sabotaging my business!”
That's not a great analogy because these crypto-scams don't have a centralized organization overseeing them to keep them "clean", so to speak, and it's by design. A better analogy would be something like this: you walk into a restaurant, and you see that people are eating literal garbage for prices that make even the best Michelin three star restaurants seem cheap, and when pointed out, the owner says "well, it's only a question of time before we become as big as McDonald's and Burger King, so that makes it all good".

@@stinky59 lol I have to go to Tom Nook to take out a house mortgage to afford tuition and the AC keeps breaking down? And in Florida no less, the worst state to be in without one. That alone just turned me right around and out of the country lol. Gods speed to you comrade. ;3
Scams like these really make me wish I was more criminally oriented. At this point, if you are actually still buying in to NFTs, you deserve to get ripped off.
Truth Speaker Leave! That might be one of the best quotes to sum up all this crypto stuff
"When moon? When Lambo?"
Lol
Hypothetically, let’s say a community member takes this code & improves upon it causing a significant improvement in “players”, watch these guys suddenly do the quickest 180 in history, deny the open sourcing & throw decentralisation down the toilet by litigating ownership of the IP. Please let this happen if only for the LOL’s. If they had any confidence in the quality of the “game”, it’s mechanics or ideas they wouldn’t be giving it away. This is an open admission that the whole project concept is & always was valueless.
"there is no more interest in NFT games"
AKA "People are beginning to realize NFT's are a scam so it's harder to get people to give us money"
This was one of the fastest bursting economic/scam bubbles ever, and thank god for that. Just a year ago, the narrative was that NFTs are the future, and anyone not jumping onto the bandwagon will be left behind by the times. Now, the only time you ever hear about NFTs is when someone reports yet another "project" crashing, or yet another rug getting pulled. Good riddance, I say.
Another NFT scam? No! But how? Why? I cannot believe this! Say it ain't so!
how are the boys at Earth 2 doing these days anyway?
E2 is inspiration for all these scummy scamming people, how does this keep happening ? How does anyone truly believe that these people are going to bring you the BEST NFT project ever ? 🤣
I wonder if in like 20 years some weird collector community will find remnants of these web3 projects and collect them as 'cult classic / retro' things for some reason. Like three generations from now BAYC will be like POGs.
Or if any of these things would even be able to attain that 'low bar' of success.
That washing machine has the same exact sound as mine does and I thought MY washing was done. 👍
I find it funny that so many people are apparently washing their laundry whenever they're watching Kira's videos... 🤔
aah earth 2 flashes
0:13 I feel attacked
The corporate strategy with NFT Games is so backwards. They get huge Investment up front, then very little income after that, there’s no incentive not to rugpull and/or exit scam.
We live in a society where the last real desperate hope to change someone's life, to get a little bit of leeway instead of just living from month to month was NFTs.
I'm not going to say this is going to increase due to late- stage capitalism...
Fuck that, that is exactly what I'm going to say.
Mate, what is the tattoo you have if you do not mind me asking?
Y'know, with all the hype these "games" garner, if a dev team made a proper game that actually worked and was fun to play, I wonder how much more successful it'd be. Highly doubt that will ever happen though; high effort marketing and next to no development time turns into high profits when they pull the rug. It'd take actual effort and skill to create something that's genuine
My washing machine makes the same chime.
Congratulations to your washing machine, it sounds so happy :)
They make some crappy excuse to get money then close the servers down so they don't have to pay for them. Im sure there are some NFT things that are OK but most seem like trash.
Damn this is friggin formulaic, I get a dejavu overload here...
4:04 each person is responsible for their choices. Though anything that is actual fraud needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Hahaha bro your washing machine tune really messed me up, I was like I guess my wife started a wash earlier, then hearing it again and you commenting on it haha
'just a other day in web 3' wait isn't that lyrics to a song? Cryptoboy?
Didn't expect Kira to own me with facts and logic in the first 30 seconds of a video but here we are
I AM SHOCK, well not that shocked.
"I got 250K of disposable cash but instead of wasting it on real estate i think ill invest it into this baseless pipe dream. Much better return..."
It's actually really hard to get a game even a good game to maintain a player base. Games don't succeed on purely merit. It's mostly marketing really. Well since they made millions they probably had the marketing down tho.
If players would be given back some control like the ability to host their own dedicated servers and no requirement per-se for some dev/publisher master server to run then it wouldn't even require that much attention from official side. Every game has a life cycle. But some will live kinda beyond if they are made well enough, have a passionate fanbase (as small as it may be) and aren't made obsolete by sequels.
But these metaverse/NFT shitprojects are running mostly on fumes and hype only. Nothing can save them. They are primed to fail from the start.
And nobody was surprised
NFTs prove over and over again that some people live only by the phrase “it’s immoral to let a sucker keep his money”
I understand crypto so much better now
im shocked! SHOCKED!!
@ 21:20 Best way to sum up many, MANY problems within crypto. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
Web3 is scammers scamming scammers. Nothing else.
Mechanics similar to Earth Tw.. . . I mean Sim City.
just checked Arya's channel as I recently saw the dmca abuse and drama video about him but his most recent video on his channel is from 9 months ago. did he delete a bunch of his own videos or something? or has he just given up on covering e2 on youtube
If you are going to buy some picutures at least commission some nice, quality waifu art.
Prioritizing monetization in a game distorts the game, and usually makes it much worse. And in the crypto space, the monetization is everything. Quality of the actual game is a low priority. Do not put money in to crypto things, the only way you'll make money is if you are on the pump side of the pump and dump, and even if you're on the dev team for the damn thing, there's a good chance the rest of the team will screw you over.
Well hey, everyone hates the cashless society idea yet want decentralised digital currency........
I don't understand how people STILL fall for these NFT scams...
People that lose money on nfts and crypto absolutely deserve it. I have no sympathy for any of them at all.
Speaking of pyramid schemes.
I keep hearing my washing machine, but then realize that it's yours! Lol
I think the biggest illusion in NFT market is the "you don't have to work 8 hours a week to get rich" (or something like that)
I don't think that is an illusion...nobody is getting rich working 8 hours a week
every dead nft project is a good project
Oh no, such a masterpiece will be lost? A real shame. It needs to be preserved. I'm sure it isn't a simplistic project that I could put together in a few weekends on Unity.
It's gonna be the next GOTY, trust me bro. F*ck God of War or somesuch. Games that look and run like mobile trash or like browser games from the 00s are tHe FuTuRe Of GaMiNg!!!1!11
I'm making a coin based on faith alone. Just believe in it's value! I'm thinking of calling it Quire Boy in honor of the papacy. How many Quire Boys have you got?
Sad thing is that this could actually be a good, fun game. Now if only one of these NFT scam artists would actually be interested in making a game..............there is an actual market there for anybody capable and willing to actually make a good, modern SimCity-like. None of these folks seem to be interesting in doing even the most basic videogame dev work, while half the folks 'investing' in this are utterly insane. Who in their right mind would invest 250K on this utterly random and anonymous project...........I could get taking a game with a few hundred or even thousand bucks, which is a ton of money for a lot of folks already, but there is zero chance you'd get a decent ROI at that level of commitment (even if it did turn out to be a functional end product / platform).
I dont know what to say.. Shocked i say, Shocked.
I have never been interested in any social platforms, or the crypto joke. These scams take advantage of the lower class. And getting rich doesn't change your class, your ability to mature is how you do that. I watch your videos just because I am amazed to see how stupid people can be.
Oh dear another Rub and Tug.
WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK 😜😂
what happened to paradox?
Kira, ASMR stream when? o/
O hey here in first 10 mins.
More nft scams, not surprising at all lol
I would rather, despite my chronic health condition (severe lung and heart damage due to an accident) do unpaid work for Job and Family Services and hope it gives me enough job experience to be hired onto a proper job instead of doing anything NFT-related.
@4:13 Avarice?
Can you short these?
These people committing soduku would be a net positive for society.
How do people even have this much disposable income? Most of us are struggling with the basics, atm. Stupid people shouldn't be getting paid this much...
Can you do a video on the token Saitama they are big scammers
And they all deserve to lose their money. No whining afterwards guys.
Who keeps giving those cryptobros money?!?!?!
That's why we need all the teams to be doxxed
Another day, another rugpull.
Is anyone really making money off of NFTs? Except the creators of course.
Buying an NFT and watching the number grow does not count. I mean actually cashing out more money than you put in.
"A game with mechanics like Sim city".
So why would I bother? I can just play Sim City.
