Angry gamers fight back against FTX takeover

 


Angry gamers have detonated a so-called "review bomb" in relation to the game Storybook Brawl on the popular gaming platform Steam after the crypto trading platform FTX announced the acquisition of the responsible developer studio Good Luck Games.


The background to the "review bomb" is that the auto-battle card game could possibly become a guinea pig for the integration of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The Storybook Brawl, which was released in mid-2021, has actually been very popular so far, but since March 22nd, i.e. the day it was taken over by FTX US, there has suddenly been a vast majority of negative reviews on the game's Steam page.


Due to the large number of bad reviews, the game has meanwhile taken the status "mostly negative" after 600 of the last 761 ratings were negative. Although players who have not played the game can also rate it, the majority of bad reviews clearly come from gamers who have already invested a lot of time in the game.


“No NFTs are accepted in this house. A tragic end for a great auto-battler,” writes Steam user asnugglekitten, for example, who has played for more than 130 hours. Another user named King Bear, who has at least 60 hours of play in his account, explains:


“Good Luck Games was bought by FTX because the crypto company wants to 'connect with crypto with gamers' in this way. I don't feel like it, I don't want crypto to 'tie in' to things that interest me. I uninstalled."

As part of the acquisition, Storybook Brawl will be integrated into FTX US' blockchain gaming division. FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried confirms that his company has far-reaching plans to "bring gaming and crypto transactions together in a way that hasn't been seen before."


Matt Place, the founder of Good Luck Games, emphasizes that overall the acquisition is good news for his company and players, as the new funds could finally take the game to triple-A levels.


In addition, Place reassures that the integration of crypto and blockchain is by no means specified by the FTX:


“We're going to try blockchain technology […] to see how we can use it to create value that players enjoy. If we find it we will add it to the game and if not then no. We have no obligation to do so.”

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has
