    It’s not just Molyneux, even Will Wright has been behind some weird NFT project. As an old boomer that idolized some of these people it’s a real let down. Dark Knight was right man: you either die a hero or become a villain

      Ah that’s so disappointing to hear that Will Wright was partaking in this crap. He was such a pioneer in games.

    Very hard to feel sympathy for people who not only fell for an NFT-grift, but an NFT-grift by Peter Molyneux.

    I couldn’t stop following this from the moment it was first announced. It looked so incredibly bad. Ignoring that the economics of play to earn don’t work without a steady stream of new rubes players buying in, this looked like the most uninspired, boring idle management game I’d ever seen. It was so clearly the lowest effort rug pull they could manage.

    Can’t wait for Molyneux’s next game
