The NFT/Metaverse console was just announced and it's already stolen and/or ripped off Apple's TouchID, Gamecube's logo, and Oasis's console design. Yup, like NFTs and Metaverse alright.

100% a while ago i was getting more and more concerned about the future of gaming alongside all the nft,meta,crypto,blockchain bullshit injected into video games + the heavy monetization, but a few days ago i gave v rising a try and it is a awsome game!!! and i realized: as long as there are people out with a passion for real video games, as long there will be people out creating those games. So even if all the big names like EA, Activision, Ubisoft and whatnot decide to turn full-evil without even trying to hide their intention there will be always a honest (indie)studio out there saying: look, we love to create games, but like you, we need income to survive, so here is the deal. And i also realized that i started to shift away from big companys years ago...and with that tought in mind, its rly entertaining to see all of them slowly digging their own graves.
i got a rare chance to actually went into one studio the other day who is handling an NFT game project. and yea their higher up dont give a shit about making a game for actual gamer. they openly admit that they are gearing towards whales (crypto whales to be specific). as well as the game being pay to win with the late game items being limited and is only available via trading NFT once that artificial limitation has been reached. i hope that this NFT trend would die or at least move away from game industry sometime soon tbh.
How many extra steps do you think Activision Blizzard would put between pressing the button and accessing the wallet to hide that it's a wallet button?
Everyone, if you're not invested in the metaverse or anything connected to the block chain more power to you. You are already ahead of everyone who invested in this eco-system.
I thought crypto was interesting when I first learned about it, from a technical perspective. The blockchain is really just a decentralized ledger with mechanisms for ensuring trust, and I thought the whole concept was kinda neat. Sure crypto isn’t perfect, since while you can definitely trust the blockchain there are no safeguards against user error, but it’s technically interesting. Then everyone hopped on the bandwagon and ruined it with NFTs (aka glorified overpriced digital paperweights once the website hosting your JPEG goes under or otherwise stops hosting it, because _there is not enough space in the blockchain to hold an image_ so they have to use a URL instead) and generally shitty, sometimes even scammy, behavior. _Bleh_
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, but you also are missed by 100% of the shots you don't stand in the firing line for. Risk is good, but risk is not to be confused with recklessness. Sometimes the best you can do is hold back and not let yourself become the victim of someone else's stupid choices.
When I was 7, I decided I was going to make a transporter. I decided that it needed to have an effective range of one light year and would be powered by a water wheel off a fountain. I think I had a better-defined project thank this console.
It's kinda adorable. I can envision a four year old doing something like this. He could paste a cutout image from a magazine onto a piece of paper and write a misspelled spiel about a "Game Player" all in an effort to bilk Mom and Dad out of a dollar for a candy bar. 🤣 Aw... I hope these NFT jerkoffs end up in jail for their schemes.
Released and marketed by one of the biggest companies on Earth, based on proven technologies and concepts that had been shown to be in demand by gamers (cloud gaming services had succeeded both before and have succeeded since both technologically and commercially,) and with games that people actually wanted to play on it. Still moved less than a million units and was dead within a year. The only way these idiots are going to sell a million consoles is if they count each electronic component of every unit: every LED, resistor, capacitor, and contact, as a separate console, and that's if this thing ever goes into physical production at all.
The physical unit didn't process your games. It was a controller that rendered images streamed by Google. Calling it a console is like calling a keyboard and monitor a computer. The entire point of Stadia was that games ran on hardware you don't own and streams to a device you do. It failed for two reasons: first and most importantly was that performance was not consistently acceptable in areas with good internet infrastructure, not even considering areas with average to subpar internet. The second, less important reason being a lot of people want to own the hardware and/or software they are using.
@@tjenadonn6158 That honestly makes Stadia sound more impressive than it was. The marketing was terrible. Every ad I saw made me less and less interested. The idea that I had to pay full price to stream a game requiring an internet connection for every game rather than just paying the same amount for an actual copy I can own and play without worrying about internet stability was a very bad idea.
The Grift is evolving, When these vultures see money exchanging hands (Even when it's dirty money) they go feral and start finding any fallible alleyway to rob others. Makes me sick.
@@TheTroutyness tf does this have to do with capitalism? This is illegal fraud no matter what system you live in. Monopolistic corporations are the result of unchecked capitalism, not this.
Recently got involved on Kickstarter and one of the campaigns I saw was from China and showed some sort of endoscope for your phone (check spots in your car, find your ring in the drain, etc) with all this 3d video of its construction and design... And the comments section was full of a lot of cancelled pledges (no longer readable), but quite a few who were pointing out the video was another company's endoscope video, from a decade ago, and even had another company's branding on some of their material. Others noted this technology (labelled as a new thing) already exists and has for years. They brushed it all aside as their camera having higher specs, a special phone app (that yes it exists but that's why they're partnering with the company), etc etc. Not a lot of people seemed convinced but they still succeeded with funding.
The biggest red flag for me was the quote: "10,000 Polium One consoles will be released to the holders & partners." Not gamers. Holders and partners. Terms used in business circles. Because that's all this is.
This is not for gamers lol. Even if it was (it isn't) real, it's for investors on the blockchain. Absolutely nothing to do with gaming, hence the wallet button.
@@phase_1471 It's for people who fancy themselves investors, but are actually gullible fools. Actual investors steer clear of these scams, because it's been painfully obvious for a while that that's all they are.
Sony and Microsoft have trouble with manufacturing consoles because of the chip shortage but don't worry guys! A few nft bros will manage to make a million block chain consoles. For sure.
@@xCobraCommanderx omg. I didn't even think of this! How much do you wanna bet this is actually going to happen. That makes so much sense! Great way to sell off loads of burnt GPUs to get new ones for themselves
If that little thing could do all it claims, it would probably melt itself in the first 5 minutes of playing a game at 8K 120 FPS, even without ray tracing.
If that little thing could do what they're claiming it's doing Sony, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and every other tech company on earth would tear each other limb from limb in the bidding war to get a hold of whatever quantum computing bullshit they pulled off to fit that much power into that small of a package without it instantly bricking itself. It's either the biggest advancement in computing technology since the dawn of personal computing or it's a complete scam. Occam's razor makes it clear which of those two is more likely.
@@Natsukashii1111 they claimed the console could run mainstream "high quality" games at 8k 120fps with raytracing. I doubt a single nft game in existence even uses raytracing. I think the point of what op was saying is that if you tried to run any game worth a damn through that plastic brick it would melt into putty. Let alone at 8k or 120fps. My freaking gaming laptop struggles to run games at 1920x1080 without thermal throttling.
“Your selling a console that does 60fps and 4k? W-well I’m selling one that does 120FPS a-and 8k, s-so yeah, take that. A-and it’s gonna be smaller too, and also it’s gonna have a um, (digs in pockets) WALLET button so s-so yeah, take that!” These guys, probably
So these people just got rid of the “TouchID” branding before Apple could sue them, but leaves the rip off Gamecube logo, and now their stolen console design as well? I’m going to wait for the inevitable “we’re discontinuing these endeavours” to know that this “console” was truly a scam
to be honest the new logo and TouchID thing are fair enough. I mean the new logo looks fine. if not for the old one I wouldn't see the connection and still don't really. TouchID is easily just a brain fart. people use it interchangably in coversation all the time. Still a shit console but, I'd rather not go overboard with criticism.
"We're discontinuing these efforts." Followed by "We're announcing the Polium Two. Get your wallets and your monkey jpegs ready! This time, for sure, we're all gonna make it!"
im thankful to the polium, because right now theres a lot of shit going on in my life and i needed a good laugh so thank you polium for being the joke that i needed 😂👍
Seeing as how this is being done by the dudebro types who thought my work as an illustrator was up for minting grabs THREE TIMES it doesn't surprise me in the least that they're ripping off anything and everything they can in order to throw this Frankenstein monster of a scam console together. 🙄
These NFT bros need to get their game up, get ahold of that guy who caused the housing crash of 2008; he’ll set you up to scam the right way. Knowing these bros tho, they’d probably make NFTs out of him and then pump and dump like how this console endeavor is bound to end up as.
bruh selling real estate nft's in a yet to be made virtual world is like last years news. this is like selling a yet to be made console to access your yet to made virtual house in a virtual world that hasn't yet been made.
This is the exact reason Kickstarter exists for. A platform for funding wacky dreams and dubious promises which at least Kickstarter has a chance to intervene and provide user support for when eventually this people is getting totally ripped. They are literally asking for funds in the old way so there is absolutely 0 guarantee that they'll even reach the point of the most basic prototype.
Plot twist - what if they're actually the S.K. developers, and their initial plan failed, so they changed it up and rebranded. Then again you have the old 'simplest explanation is usually the right one' adage, and they could actually be that stupid. But if that's true, and they are really that incompetent, then I wouldn't even trust them to scramble an egg, let alone with a project like this.
In the world of scams, like adcance fee scams, fake crime scams, kidnapping scams, etc, they don't bother trying to look legit. They don't want to trick even mildly aware people, because those people figure out what's happening and don't pay, thus wasting the scammers time. They make up their scripts as cheaply as possible, shotgun them into the ether, and then reel in anyone they can hook. Crypto bros have proven they are HIGHLY baitable, so these people slapped together a quick scam with zero effort, and waited for people to talk themselves into giving up their money.
This type of thing reminds me of Fyre Festival: promise luxury and delivering wet mattresses and school canteen food… who ever is behind this isnt planning of caring about the final product only to take as much money from fools before they get caught and run.
NFTs might as well stand for Neverending Fraudulent Trash at this point. Unbelievable that tech that MIGHT have had a good use gets wasted on cash grabs like this
5:13 you say it as if theyre actually trying to make an nft console. Nah they collect preorders, send fake updates, then radio silence indefinitely. Thats how kickstarter game scam works, and thats how this gonna work.
Kind of wanted to say it reminded me of Ouya, but even that was a (failed) original design that came to be. This is actually more like those fake retro consoles that the reanimated corpse of Atari was pitching. Anyway, looking forward to whatever Square Enix and Ubisoft will be launching on it.
Though, even that turned out to be a box that actually does pretty much everything they said it would. Overpriced, but functional. This on the other hand is just a rug-pull that will never exist and will evaporate once enough idiots have bought into it.
Thanks to NFTs content creators like Yong give us weeks of entertainment butchering them and also help them improve their revenue by making multiple videos with decent number of views.
In a sense we should thank these fools, they are doing a service for the community, unintentionally as it may be, still a great service, by showing the sheer stupidity that this whole NFT/Metaverse scheme really is. Nice.
What a shock. An NFT project using someone else's assets and trademarked materials without consent to promote itself. Ugh. I don't know why a lot of people including some of my coworkers were invested so heavily in this NFT garbage but I'm glad it's dying. The faster the better.
With how many things they took from different other companies, I wouldn’t be surprised if the company name already exists as a gaming company separate from them.
Stop spreading FUD by laughing at the console size as if that would have anything to do with it being able to run high performance games. Obviously the games run on the blockchain so the console doesn’t need to be big and powerful! Trust me as I’m a cryptobro and totally understand what blockchain is! 12K gaming will be possible thanks to the blockchain!This is going to the moooooooooon…..hodl! /s
Almost missed the " /s " , may want to full bracket with leading and trailing, S/ and /S That second sentience almost got me. Cause I've seen that exact argument used by Blockchain "game" devs before.
Wait, did you forget to mention that on the webpage the "TouchID" thing was just changed to the generic term "Scanner"? That's next-level. They knew they were in huge trouble and once they were called out, had no choice but to change it lmfao.
Something that small isn't gonna be powerful enough to run, as they say, "high performance games". Do they not realise Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo have tried to slim down their consoles as much as possible and they're still like 2, 3 or even 4 times the size of that tiny thing and consoles are the standard of performance in gaming. If you want actual high performance, you need a rig and gaming pcs are called rigs for a reason. I'll give 'em a hint, it's partly because they're big. Trust me, if I could shrink my PC to that size and it perform as well as it does I'd love that but it's not possible. My rig isn't even as big as it could be (my friends is absurdly big but it's also absurdly powerful) but it's still one beefy machine, like almost every other gaming PC. The best that console thing could do is probably Switch levels of performance but i wont give them any benefit of the doubt because the Switch is actually a good console. Technology has gotten better and more compact but they also demand a lot more power and cooling mechanisms so I doubt even past gen console levels will be the benchmark for it. If they actually want something that small, mobile game levels of performance is probably the best they'll realistically get since they seem so inexperienced and just absolutely clueless about gaming. This "console" is made by NFT morons for NFT morons. It's not a gaming console at all, it's a glorified NFT marketplace. Calling it a gaming console is an insult to gaming in general.
1:44 That's the same thing the people who did intelevision Amiico project! They took the money and didn't produce a single product a lot of people got screwed out of there invest their money. People would be foolish to repeat the same mistake like them this is really a scam especially when this involves nfts
No one's going to mention that the Oasis controller looks very similar to a DualShock 4? And that Polium further ripped off the DS4 because they added the holes for the extension and the 3.5mm audio ports on the bottom?
Yeah, I noticed that too. So creative of their part, acting as if Nintendo won't touch them, they may think that Sony coming after them isn't a possibility either.
this adds a special layer of irony... knowing that crypto and NFT bros always back those things under the "in order to protect and make creations highly profitable flag". but then they proceed to steal others designs 😂
When you catch someone for plagiarism, it is hardly ever a one time thing. Usually you can find a history of it. Seems like the same proves true here. By the time they replace everything with *original* designs, after being called out, they'll probably be left with a scribble on a piece of paper, representing the console design.
This screams of scam. I work for a big company and we recently rebranded and changed our logo. Let me tell you that it is physically impossible to agree on a new logo that quickly.
Polium is like the real life manifestation of that scene of the Simpsons between Abe and Mr Burns: _"Oh, Simpson, can't you go five seconds without humiliating yourself?"_ And Abe's pants fall off and he asks _"How long was that?"_
This whole thing reminds me of when I was 12 and my brother and I would talk about what we wanted the next Nintendo to be. Not based on anything, just talking out of our Butts. “What if it had a screen on the controller where you can see your health and a map”, “what if it has buttons that lit up and played all other Nintendo games”
The best way to find that balance between saving and living is by investing, This way you get to have your saving intact and then live comfortably off the revenue coming in from your investments.

I said it in another video, it better be rocking a 5Ghz hyperthreaded 16core CPU and RTX 3090Ti and 64Gb RAM. You're looking at shoving 3 processor chips, 1 CPU and 2 GPU, 2-4 RAM chips and a lot of memory and storage. No such computer exists. You're looking at building a new type of motherboard with new GPU chip designs.
And have a power supply strong enough, small enough to fit inside an enclosure far smaller than micro itx standards. I am just impressed how bad the polium looks for a console that literally does not even exist
Their new logo looks like a cross between the Gamecube logo, and just before the Gamecube logo is complete (aka the startup animation when the box makes little blocks of the Gamecube logo shame before completing it near the end). So in other words... yeah it still looks like the Gamecube logo.
I wish that the concept of NFTs and the blockchain had been used for something useful and intelligent, even if it was in some unseen way that consumers wouldn't notice. But since that's _not_ the timeline we live in, I'm just gonna have my endless schadenfreude instead
Keep in mind that Blockchain as a technology has been around since 2008, and as "open source". I cannot think of a viable Computer Algorithm technology that needed 14 years to "mature" and "find practical use". This isn't nuclear fusion, it's just a novel application of cryptography. There isn't some kind of magical "good use" of Blockchains. 14 years on, we see very clearly what Blockchains are best at... being used for Scams. That's it. And unlike Fusion power, there isn't another technological breakthrough that will help Blockchain become "useful". Note: modern AI modeling has helped develop magnetic field control programs of Fusion plasma streams, that have been proven in live experimentation.
8k Ray tracing and in 120 frames? Do we even have PCs which are not at NASA which can do all that? If I ever tried that shit with my pc I would have a hole in my floor.
I really hope they do invest a ton of money on R&D and actually bring it to fruition only to come to the realisation that nobody asked for it, nobody wants it, nobody needs it and nobody actually buys it. The whole thing gets pulled and the company die
Actually, one part that would be cool (or rather, totally makes sense for the theme) is that they should make a console that can *mine* coins... It just makes sense, like low obstacle way to mine, even if you don't play games.
Just a minor correction to make. Behance is actually a website for people to showcase their artwork, 3D models and so on. The console shown, the Oasis, is basically someone's art project. Not a console at all. It may have once been a concept for a console, but it never made production. So, they didn't just copy the art, they straight-up ripped the model itself!
One can't actually "steal" another person's artwork into an NFT, since such an NFT wouldn't actually confer ownership anyway, so it would be "fraud" rather than "theft."
Yong! Lolol you are the barer of bad news in the gaming, digital, internet, virtual world should I say big corporations taking our money 🤣 I knew when Anthem released that prototype of an idea of a game, they set a precedent! Thanks for calling these people out. Trying to get what they can before everything goes boom 💥
It takes billion-dollar corps like Sony & Microsoft like 10 years of R&D to develop the next console. Microsoft spent like a billion on the Series X|S controller design alone, which isn't even a from-scratch design, it's based on the existing XB1 controller. But these NFT shitheads are supposedly going to do it all in 1.5 years lol. This is a scam obviously, but even if they did release a product, currently their "console" concept is just a raspberry pi with a 3D printed case lol. Not exactly "high end gaming" capable lol.
It's blatantly clear from other factors (wallet button) that this console is a scam (...and that's even if it comes out with all the promised features), but this isn't one of those reasons. Remember: The Ouya didn't do great, but as far as I can tell the closest it came to "literal scam" was with the DRM aspects. You think they had a billion dollars to spare on controller design? It takes billion-dollar corporations that amount of time to develop a console because they don't want to end up in a situation where they're competing with their own products, especially because console backwards compatibility tends to fall into either "buy a remake lol" (any console without backwards compatibility), "buy our bad emulators when available" (Nintendo), or "actually fine" (PS3 running PS2 & PS1 games, etc.).
4:34 I ain't a graphic designer and I can't draw for shit, but even I can tell just from looking at it that that is an awful logo. I can't really parse what I'm supposed to be seeing. The black lines draw out a rectangular cuboid, but it extends from the center to one side and ends at nothing. The lighter parts are vaguely shaped like a "P", but the cuboid's lines interrupt that shape. The P outline also isn't shaded and so it looks flat and has no depth, but the cuboid in the middle of it gives the impression of a 3D object. Eventhough the vague P shape can be worked out, the mind has to spend waaay too much time to figure out what hell its looking at that people will just start filtering it out.
NFT Bros: the most uncreative, uninspired people to ever exist that are so uncreative and uninspired that they'd literally commit a felony by stealing other people's property and claiming it as their own idea.
4:36 Just a bit of productivity advice, if you use Vivaldi you can tile tabs to display two or more web pages at the same time, so you can make that comparison without having to go back and forth.
Mutahar (SomeOrdinaryGamers) also made a video on this and he used the waybackmachine and found out that in an old version of the site in the UI example picture there was a game called HighStreet that now has been removed that literally stole the Crayta (an already existing game in UE4 in the style of Roblox) boxart and just changed the logo into an 8 bit chicken. It's like the entire thing is purely built on stealing shit.
OMG, I've been a Nintendo fan since the 90s and I owned a GameCube, but, after Yong pointed it out, I *just now* realized that the GameCube symbol is a 'G'! I always thought it was just a stylized box. 😅 I'm about as shocked as when I realized that the 'D' in the Disney logo isn't a backwards 'G'.
Quick note. the console is just a mockup called the Oasis. The Behance is in reference to Adobe's website where people post either specific projects for feedback and/or entire portfolios where the mockup is hosted.
The NFT/Metaverse console was just announced and it's already stolen and/or ripped off Apple's TouchID, Gamecube's logo, and Oasis's console design. Yup, like NFTs and Metaverse alright.

Released and marketed by one of the biggest companies on Earth, based on proven technologies and concepts that had been shown to be in demand by gamers (cloud gaming services had succeeded both before and have succeeded since both technologically and commercially,) and with games that people actually wanted to play on it. Still moved less than a million units and was dead within a year. The only way these idiots are going to sell a million consoles is if they count each electronic component of every unit: every LED, resistor, capacitor, and contact, as a separate console, and that's if this thing ever goes into physical production at all.
Truth be told, Stadia wasn't a console. It's a streaming service. It doesn't come with physical unit.
@@LoganHunter82,
It did have a physical unit. It's just that no one bought them, and that's the whole point.
The physical unit didn't process your games. It was a controller that rendered images streamed by Google. Calling it a console is like calling a keyboard and monitor a computer. The entire point of Stadia was that games ran on hardware you don't own and streams to a device you do. It failed for two reasons: first and most importantly was that performance was not consistently acceptable in areas with good internet infrastructure, not even considering areas with average to subpar internet. The second, less important reason being a lot of people want to own the hardware and/or software they are using.
@@tjenadonn6158 That honestly makes Stadia sound more impressive than it was. The marketing was terrible. Every ad I saw made me less and less interested. The idea that I had to pay full price to stream a game requiring an internet connection for every game rather than just paying the same amount for an actual copy I can own and play without worrying about internet stability was a very bad idea.
The wallet button harkens back to those jokes about Xbox remotes getting an ea card swiper lol
that EA controller concept got copied by polium, EA can sue them.
Ngl, it would be convenient, but only to their benefit lmao
The Grift is evolving, When these vultures see money exchanging hands (Even when it's dirty money) they go feral and start finding any fallible alleyway to rob others. Makes me sick.

NFTs feel like the new Kickstarter scams. People are seeing right through it now, thankfully.
Sadly there are still fools out there. But on mass the tides are turning.
Recently got involved on Kickstarter and one of the campaigns I saw was from China and showed some sort of endoscope for your phone (check spots in your car, find your ring in the drain, etc) with all this 3d video of its construction and design... And the comments section was full of a lot of cancelled pledges (no longer readable), but quite a few who were pointing out the video was another company's endoscope video, from a decade ago, and even had another company's branding on some of their material. Others noted this technology (labelled as a new thing) already exists and has for years. They brushed it all aside as their camera having higher specs, a special phone app (that yes it exists but that's why they're partnering with the company), etc etc. Not a lot of people seemed convinced but they still succeeded with funding.
Don't worry, the people who matter are too stupid to see through it and will lose even more money
The biggest red flag for me was the quote: "10,000 Polium One consoles will be released to the holders & partners." Not gamers. Holders and partners. Terms used in business circles. Because that's all this is.
The biggest red flag for me was "120 fps"
This is not for gamers lol. Even if it was (it isn't) real, it's for investors on the blockchain. Absolutely nothing to do with gaming, hence the wallet button.
@@phase_1471 It's for people who fancy themselves investors, but are actually gullible fools. Actual investors steer clear of these scams, because it's been painfully obvious for a while that that's all they are.
Sony and Microsoft have trouble with manufacturing consoles because of the chip shortage but don't worry guys! A few nft bros will manage to make a million block chain consoles.
For sure.
Yup! I’d imagine folks who order this just get a burnt out graphics card that’s been mining JPEGs for 4 year on ultra hot mode in the mail.
@@xCobraCommanderx omg. I didn't even think of this! How much do you wanna bet this is actually going to happen. That makes so much sense! Great way to sell off loads of burnt GPUs to get new ones for themselves
Hahaha! For this console they use the NFT chip!
A cheaper / less complicated much better one!
I bet it would be secretly mining in the background as well... or not-so-secretly turning on full blast in the middle of the night.
To the Moon!
NFT related shenanigans built on lies, scams, and stealing? Noooooooo. Couldn't be.
For some reason I would not be even slightly surprised if Soulja Boy ended up being the driving force behind this company.
Up to 120 frames*
*Games that can run up to 120 frames include: Pong
Hey don't forget about my boi snake
8K 120fps pong will be their flagship game. 😂
Also, Zork and other 100% text adventures.
I mean, “up to 120 frames” could be anything up to 120 frames! It could even be 10 frames! Up to just means it won’t go over 120! 🤩

If that little thing could do all it claims, it would probably melt itself in the first 5 minutes of playing a game at 8K 120 FPS, even without ray tracing.
If that little thing could do what they're claiming it's doing Sony, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and every other tech company on earth would tear each other limb from limb in the bidding war to get a hold of whatever quantum computing bullshit they pulled off to fit that much power into that small of a package without it instantly bricking itself. It's either the biggest advancement in computing technology since the dawn of personal computing or it's a complete scam. Occam's razor makes it clear which of those two is more likely.
Wdym? These nft games are so bad a raspberry pi would run them at 8k
@@Natsukashii1111 they claimed the console could run mainstream "high quality" games at 8k 120fps with raytracing. I doubt a single nft game in existence even uses raytracing. I think the point of what op was saying is that if you tried to run any game worth a damn through that plastic brick it would melt into putty. Let alone at 8k or 120fps. My freaking gaming laptop struggles to run games at 1920x1080 without thermal throttling.

So these people just got rid of the “TouchID” branding before Apple could sue them, but leaves the rip off Gamecube logo, and now their stolen console design as well? I’m going to wait for the inevitable “we’re discontinuing these endeavours” to know that this “console” was truly a scam
to be honest the new logo and TouchID thing are fair enough. I mean the new logo looks fine. if not for the old one I wouldn't see the connection and still don't really. TouchID is easily just a brain fart. people use it interchangably in coversation all the time.
Still a shit console but, I'd rather not go overboard with criticism.
@@TGPDrunknHick guys, i found the moron whos buying the console
"We're discontinuing these efforts."
Followed by
"We're announcing the Polium Two. Get your wallets and your monkey jpegs ready! This time, for sure, we're all gonna make it!"
From what I've been reading the logo belongs to another company but not Nintendo was about to mention it but got mentioned in the video xD
Scammers usually lack creativity when coming up with concept, they often take pieces of everything
im thankful to the polium, because right now theres a lot of shit going on in my life and i needed a good laugh
so thank you polium for being the joke that i needed 😂👍
This feels like an onion article come to life. Everything about this is hilariously absurd
Seeing as how this is being done by the dudebro types who thought my work as an illustrator was up for minting grabs THREE TIMES it doesn't surprise me in the least that they're ripping off anything and everything they can in order to throw this Frankenstein monster of a scam console together. 🙄
Yooo maaannn youuuu got thhosse NFTsssssss?
These NFT bros need to get their game up, get ahold of that guy who caused the housing crash of 2008; he’ll set you up to scam the right way.
Knowing these bros tho, they’d probably make NFTs out of him and then pump and dump like how this console endeavor is bound to end up as.
bruh selling real estate nft's in a yet to be made virtual world is like last years news. this is like selling a yet to be made console to access your yet to made virtual house in a virtual world that hasn't yet been made.
He didn’t create it, he saw it coming and profited off of it, it was going to happen whether he profited off of it or not
Remember when putting a wallet button on the controllers was a joke?
Fun times...
Fuxk..yea, I do remember. Jeebus lol
This is the exact reason Kickstarter exists for. A platform for funding wacky dreams and dubious promises which at least Kickstarter has a chance to intervene and provide user support for when eventually this people is getting totally ripped. They are literally asking for funds in the old way so there is absolutely 0 guarantee that they'll even reach the point of the most basic prototype.
Plot twist - what if they're actually the S.K. developers, and their initial plan failed, so they changed it up and rebranded.
Then again you have the old 'simplest explanation is usually the right one' adage, and they could actually be that stupid. But if that's true, and they are really that incompetent, then I wouldn't even trust them to scramble an egg, let alone with a project like this.
I thought the same 😄
In the world of scams, like adcance fee scams, fake crime scams, kidnapping scams, etc, they don't bother trying to look legit. They don't want to trick even mildly aware people, because those people figure out what's happening and don't pay, thus wasting the scammers time. They make up their scripts as cheaply as possible, shotgun them into the ether, and then reel in anyone they can hook. Crypto bros have proven they are HIGHLY baitable, so these people slapped together a quick scam with zero effort, and waited for people to talk themselves into giving up their money.
" then I wouldn't even trust them to scramble an egg, let alone with a project like this." that is kind of the whole point lol
Anytime I see NFT, I immediately think, "Scam."
This type of thing reminds me of Fyre Festival: promise luxury and delivering wet mattresses and school canteen food… who ever is behind this isnt planning of caring about the final product only to take as much money from fools before they get caught and run.
Can’t wait for The Internet Historian to remember his password and make a 45min video on this 5 years from now
NFTs might as well stand for Neverending Fraudulent Trash at this point. Unbelievable that tech that MIGHT have had a good use gets wasted on cash grabs like this
5:13 you say it as if theyre actually trying to make an nft console. Nah they collect preorders, send fake updates, then radio silence indefinitely. Thats how kickstarter game scam works, and thats how this gonna work.
"But the Blockchain it never lies that what my crypto guys tell me"probably the few people who are supporting this
Kind of wanted to say it reminded me of Ouya, but even that was a (failed) original design that came to be. This is actually more like those fake retro consoles that the reanimated corpse of Atari was pitching.
Anyway, looking forward to whatever Square Enix and Ubisoft will be launching on it.
Though, even that turned out to be a box that actually does pretty much everything they said it would. Overpriced, but functional. This on the other hand is just a rug-pull that will never exist and will evaporate once enough idiots have bought into it.
Yong strikes fear in the hearts of video game companies. The "go to" for all news in the industry. He's got the sauce. He's got the dirt.

Im not convinced they ever intended this to exist to begin with. The was a scam from day one.
In a sense we should thank these fools, they are doing a service for the community, unintentionally as it may be, still a great service, by showing the sheer stupidity that this whole NFT/Metaverse scheme really is.

What a shock. An NFT project using someone else's assets and trademarked materials without consent to promote itself.
Ugh.
I don't know why a lot of people including some of my coworkers were invested so heavily in this NFT garbage but I'm glad it's dying. The faster the better.

That roadmap may as well be:
2022-Idea

2024-Release console
Stop spreading FUD by laughing at the console size as if that would have anything to do with it being able to run high performance games. Obviously the games run on the blockchain so the console doesn’t need to be big and powerful! Trust me as I’m a cryptobro and totally understand what blockchain is! 12K gaming will be possible thanks to the blockchain!This is going to the moooooooooon…..hodl! /s
Almost missed the " /s " , may want to full bracket with leading and trailing, S/ and /S

Wait, did you forget to mention that on the webpage the "TouchID" thing was just changed to the generic term "Scanner"? That's next-level. They knew they were in huge trouble and once they were called out, had no choice but to change it lmfao.
Bot Number 2740:
looks sick! NFTs are the future!
The thing everyone's missing when comparing the size of the console to the controller, is that the controller is actually the size of a small dog.
The only person who can properly hold it is Andre the giant, but he died like 4 years back. RIP
What's pathetic is that there are tech marks who would fall for this hook, line, and sinker.
More like _crook, lie and stinker!_
Something that small isn't gonna be powerful enough to run, as they say, "high performance games".
Do they not realise Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo have tried to slim down their consoles as much as possible and they're still like 2, 3 or even 4 times the size of that tiny thing and consoles are the standard of performance in gaming. If you want actual high performance, you need a rig and gaming pcs are called rigs for a reason. I'll give 'em a hint, it's partly because they're big.
Trust me, if I could shrink my PC to that size and it perform as well as it does I'd love that but it's not possible. My rig isn't even as big as it could be (my friends is absurdly big but it's also absurdly powerful) but it's still one beefy machine, like almost every other gaming PC.
The best that console thing could do is probably Switch levels of performance but i wont give them any benefit of the doubt because the Switch is actually a good console. Technology has gotten better and more compact but they also demand a lot more power and cooling mechanisms so I doubt even past gen console levels will be the benchmark for it. If they actually want something that small, mobile game levels of performance is probably the best they'll realistically get since they seem so inexperienced and just absolutely clueless about gaming. This "console" is made by NFT morons for NFT morons. It's not a gaming console at all, it's a glorified NFT marketplace. Calling it a gaming console is an insult to gaming in general.
Of course it'll work. How? Nano machines son!
1:44 That's the same thing the people who did intelevision Amiico project! They took the money and didn't produce a single product a lot of people got screwed out of there invest their money.

Yeah, I noticed that too. So creative of their part, acting as if Nintendo won't touch them, they may think that Sony coming after them isn't a possibility either.
Its a rip off of a rip off.
this adds a special layer of irony... knowing that crypto and NFT bros always back those things under the "in order to protect and make creations highly profitable flag". but then they proceed to steal others designs 😂
When you catch someone for plagiarism, it is hardly ever a one time thing. Usually you can find a history of it. Seems like the same proves true here. By the time they replace everything with *original* designs, after being called out, they'll probably be left with a scribble on a piece of paper, representing the console design.
This screams of scam. I work for a big company and we recently rebranded and changed our logo. Let me tell you that it is physically impossible to agree on a new logo that quickly.
Polium is like the real life manifestation of that scene of the Simpsons between Abe and Mr Burns: _"Oh, Simpson, can't you go five seconds without humiliating yourself?"_
And Abe's pants fall off and he asks _"How long was that?"_
The NFT \metaverse community has never looked more embarrassing.

This whole thing reminds me of when I was 12 and my brother and I would talk about what we wanted the next Nintendo to be.

I said it in another video, it better be rocking a 5Ghz hyperthreaded 16core CPU and RTX 3090Ti and 64Gb RAM. You're looking at shoving 3 processor chips, 1 CPU and 2 GPU, 2-4 RAM chips and a lot of memory and storage. No such computer exists. You're looking at building a new type of motherboard with new GPU chip designs.
And have a power supply strong enough, small enough to fit inside an enclosure far smaller than micro itx standards. I am just impressed how bad the polium looks for a console that literally does not even exist
Their new logo looks like a cross between the Gamecube logo, and just before the Gamecube logo is complete (aka the startup animation when the box makes little blocks of the Gamecube logo shame before completing it near the end).
So in other words... yeah it still looks like the Gamecube logo.
I wish that the concept of NFTs and the blockchain had been used for something useful and intelligent, even if it was in some unseen way that consumers wouldn't notice.
But since that's _not_ the timeline we live in, I'm just gonna have my endless schadenfreude instead
Keep in mind that Blockchain as a technology has been around since 2008, and as "open source". I cannot think of a viable Computer Algorithm technology that needed 14 years to "mature" and "find practical use". This isn't nuclear fusion, it's just a novel application of cryptography.
There isn't some kind of magical "good use" of Blockchains. 14 years on, we see very clearly what Blockchains are best at... being used for Scams. That's it.
And unlike Fusion power, there isn't another technological breakthrough that will help Blockchain become "useful". Note: modern AI modeling has helped develop magnetic field control programs of Fusion plasma streams, that have been proven in live experimentation.
8k Ray tracing and in 120 frames? Do we even have PCs which are not at NASA which can do all that?

I really hope they do invest a ton of money on R&D and actually bring it to fruition only to come to the realisation that nobody asked for it, nobody wants it, nobody needs it and nobody actually buys it. The whole thing gets pulled and the company die
The only way this gets even better is if SouljaBoy claims that this is his new console
SouljaBoy will copy it again and then sell that.

Just a minor correction to make. Behance is actually a website for people to showcase their artwork, 3D models and so on. The console shown, the Oasis, is basically someone's art project. Not a console at all. It may have once been a concept for a console, but it never made production. So, they didn't just copy the art, they straight-up ripped the model itself!

Thanks for calling these people out. Trying to get what they can before everything goes boom 💥
Ah yes, I remember my childhood console, the Polystation...
That was a thing BTW.
Best of all, there were no NFTs involved.
It takes billion-dollar corps like Sony & Microsoft like 10 years of R&D to develop the next console. Microsoft spent like a billion on the Series X|S controller design alone, which isn't even a from-scratch design, it's based on the existing XB1 controller. But these NFT shitheads are supposedly going to do it all in 1.5 years lol. This is a scam obviously, but even if they did release a product, currently their "console" concept is just a raspberry pi with a 3D printed case lol. Not exactly "high end gaming" capable lol.
It's blatantly clear from other factors (wallet button) that this console is a scam (...and that's even if it comes out with all the promised features), but this isn't one of those reasons.
Remember: The Ouya didn't do great, but as far as I can tell the closest it came to "literal scam" was with the DRM aspects. You think they had a billion dollars to spare on controller design?
It takes billion-dollar corporations that amount of time to develop a console because they don't want to end up in a situation where they're competing with their own products, especially because console backwards compatibility tends to fall into either "buy a remake lol" (any console without backwards compatibility), "buy our bad emulators when available" (Nintendo), or "actually fine" (PS3 running PS2 & PS1 games, etc.).
4:34 I ain't a graphic designer and I can't draw for shit, but even I can tell just from looking at it that that is an awful logo.
I can't really parse what I'm supposed to be seeing. The black lines draw out a rectangular cuboid, but it extends from the center to one side and ends at nothing. The lighter parts are vaguely shaped like a "P", but the cuboid's lines interrupt that shape. The P outline also isn't shaded and so it looks flat and has no depth, but the cuboid in the middle of it gives the impression of a 3D object.
Eventhough the vague P shape can be worked out, the mind has to spend waaay too much time to figure out what hell its looking at that people will just start filtering it out.
NFT Bros: the most uncreative, uninspired people to ever exist that are so uncreative and uninspired that they'd literally commit a felony by stealing other people's property and claiming it as their own idea.
4:36 Just a bit of productivity advice, if you use Vivaldi you can tile tabs to display two or more web pages at the same time, so you can make that comparison without having to go back and forth.
Mutahar (SomeOrdinaryGamers) also made a video on this and he used the waybackmachine and found out that in an old version of the site in the UI example picture there was a game called HighStreet that now has been removed that literally stole the Crayta (an already existing game in UE4 in the style of Roblox) boxart and just changed the logo into an 8 bit chicken.
It's like the entire thing is purely built on stealing shit.
Many people don't realize this is also a pretty effective way to launder money - lots of these "nonsensical" schemes are just plausible deniability.
This puts a whole new meaning to “vaporware”
Phase 1. Steal underpants.
Phase 2. ......
Phase 3. PROFIT!!!
Hilariously, the web page with the new “original” logo still displays the console with the GameCube logo.
"Evil cannot create, only corrupt " or something on those lines.
OMG, I've been a Nintendo fan since the 90s and I owned a GameCube, but, after Yong pointed it out, I *just now* realized that the GameCube symbol is a 'G'! I always thought it was just a stylized box. 😅 I'm about as shocked as when I realized that the 'D' in the Disney logo isn't a backwards 'G'.
A wise man once said, “Ouya, me once, shame on you. Ouya me twice…can’t get fooled again!”
Quick note. the console is just a mockup called the Oasis. The Behance is in reference to Adobe's website where people post either specific projects for feedback and/or entire portfolios where the mockup is hosted.
That said "when we have a working prototype". So they don't even have a working prototype lol any spec at all is completely conjured out of thin air😂
So how low-effort did you want this scam to look?
Polium One: "Yes."
