I may be wrong because I didn't look into this very much, but the way you described them, they aren't really NFTs because you don't have ownership of them. In the same way that a weapon in CS:GO (or really any item in any game) isn't an NFT. The whole reason why NFTs need the blockchain is so that the creators can completely relinquish control of the item. The blockchain itself stops them from modifying, patching, or taking away the item. So to just about any extent, you actually do own the NFT. If there is some certificate/item in the Bazaar that isn't defended by the blockchain, the best they can do is promise not to change it or take it away, even though they still have complete ownership of it, (after all, you only own the account, not the actual items in it). At which point I don't think it's any different from any other in-game-item or certificate.
Trading duplicates to equivalent value instead of just "dusting" them for a lower currency value. I'll take that any day, like the old days with MMO where you can freely trade items.
Its literally just steam marketplace. The same as csgo and tf2. Theres nothing nft about it. A cryptobro over simplifying nft and saying "its basically an nft" means nothing. Date of acquisition and original item ids and original owner have existes in games forever. They dont "imply" or mean ownership. Its just normal everyday steammarket. Dont see a problem there.
@@Baraxal1 well i would argue they are nfts: the ownership is just limited too inside the game aka inside the server of the company. just like a nft ownership is limited too the blockchain. the world literally means non fungible token, which is fulfilled
this is nfts done right there is no real reason too put them on the blockchain. and this allows each user too have unique skins that only they have. if later on a real money market with these opens, it will be the same problem we had with real money markets we always had in videogames (see csgo skins, Diablo market)
there is no rub and its not an NFT. they are literally like league of legends or hearthstone card skins. The ability to trad ethem isn't wierd, similar to team fortress 2 in that aspect. you do NOT make money on this and it never presents it that way. it presents it as cool skins to use while you play that other people can see when they fight you. Thats it.
I have no knowledge on crypto or NFTs since it never interested me. I don't understand whats gross about it or what the issue is here, played the game a bunch since closed beta released and its super fun without need to spend any money if you are decent player. Please elaborate what is gross about this or how it changes anything about the game?
the potentially gross part is the way to monetize it by having a marketplace like CS:GO or worse like games like "banana" on steam that are very sketchy. think of it this way if they make a real money marketplace attached to it theres nothing stopping them from developing "rare skins" and selling them on the real money marketplace after artificially boosting the price. it would be like if you could just generate CS:GO knives for yourself to sell for $400+ a piece. now i dont see that happening but id understand the worry after seeing things like that.
Do you consider these to be NFTs?

the NFTs are apparently only for the cosmetics
i guess its safe to stay weary, but the core game is pretty good
Either way the game is fun and you may profit from being good at the game!

NFT = Decentralized Blockchain. Bazaar does not havy any blockchain integration, it's not an NFT
Lol
Gross. As soon as i saw f2p i was wondering what the rub was.
I hope you don't let it stop you from playing the very fun game! You might even make some money from the cool items you earn.
This isn't a bad thing necessarily it's just basically saying any skin you open is actually unique to you it doesn't really have to go beyond that
