MOBILE GAME WORMS FACES STRONG CRITICISM OVER NFT PLANS

 


The gaming company Team 17 planned to integrate NFT functions for the well-known game Worms. But the community is anything but enthusiastic about this project.


Team 17, the developer of the world-famous game Worms, in which small worms try to steal each other's life energy in teams, announced some time ago that they have plans to incorporate various NFT functions. The company was not yet aware that its community was not at all convinced. That's why the video game publisher announced yesterday that it would put its plans on hold for the time being. The spokesman explained the decision in a tweet:


We have listened to our Teamsters, development partners and the community behind our games and the concerns they have raised and as a result we have made the decision to withdraw from the NFT space.



The publisher had planned with the NFT idea, in cooperation with Reality Gaming Group, to create a collage of the worms as collectibles. The Worms franchise, which was 26 years old, served as inspiration for the collection. There should also be different levels of rarity here.


Strong criticism from the partners

But not only the gaming community was not convinced of the project. Criticism went so far that Aggro Crab, a longtime partner of Team 17 , threatened to end the partnership if the NFT project went ahead. With a clear statement, Aggro Crab explained the consequences of continuing the NFT project:


We will not be working with you on additional titles and encourage other indie developers to do the same if this decision is not reversed.


However, Team 17 isn't the only company that has come under heavy criticism. Leading game publishers Ubisoft, Konami and Square Enix also had plans to integrate NFT's into their games. But this also met with strong resistance from their community members. Unlike Team 17, however, Ubisoft is continuing the NFT project. On the Ubisoft Quartz NFT platform, they introduced Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint.


Conclusion on the withdrawal of the NFT plans

Team 17 has listened to the reactions of their community and put the project on hold. This confirms that not everyone shares the current enthusiasm for NFTs. Kanye West also commented negatively on this topic. In a post on Instagram, he wrote the words by hand on a piece of paper:



My focus is on creating real products in the real world, real food, real clothes, real shelters. Don't ask me to do an NFT!

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
