Konami finds a way to milk Castlevania with NFT's for its 35th birthday, because of course they do

Taken a screenshot, boom now ingame scenes from KON AMI titles can be preserved by fans for many years to come at zero additional cost to the consumer.

I don't understand. Explain to me like I'm 5 years old, why would anyone want to buy this? Who?

I mean, if they released a unique NFT of the original Simon’s Quest title screen, where you, and you only, own that screen, I would see the point. But this is just a shitty screen grab with some MS Paint free font text on top of it. Peak stupidity

I dont think Capcom would be a good idea. As much as they have done a great Job this gen with the RE series.Fucking Konami.
I continue to pray to all gods, old, new, dead, whatever the fuck it takes for the universe to suddenly rewrite reality and Capcom now holds their IPs. Konami’s abused employees in better jobs as well.
For some reason Capcom/Sega ignore most their old IP’s. Sega acts like it doesnt have Jet Set Radio, Phantasy Star, Virtua Fighter. Its taken then decades to make a Streets of Rage game.
Capcom ignores Dino Crisis, Power Stone, Onimusha, Breath of Fire, Street fighter was kinda weird this gen.
Loved Resident Evil this gen though

What is NFT?

I mean, if Konami’s employees joined them that would give them more hands on deck to make more games. Castlevania, Metal Gear, and Silent Hill would be guaranteed, and I could see a few other IPs getting some love.
Plus, I don’t blame Capcom for being cautious. From what I heard for example, Darkstalkers Resurrection did not sell well. You can’t expect a company to take risks constantly,

Yeah if Konami employees would join that would be cool

It does seem really suspicious how aggressively it's been pushed on everyone, nobody outside of the the sad fucks who are deep into this crypto pyramid scheme want any of this.

Its a basically a block chain encrypted certificate that says you "own" something. The idea when applying it to stuff like this is that you will be able buy something and then safely be able to sell it to someone else. With the actual owner/creator obviously getting a % of the transaction.
An NFT isn't tied to a server outside of your own computer/internet connection. As long as the blockchain network itself remains so will they.

Add this to the pile of shit Konami has done on the past decade or more but don't let that 1 guy on gaf who loves the company no matter what see this thread or else he'll cry like a bitch.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
Opportunist and businessmen.
And then they sell to idiots.

Why is this a bad thing? Is it something nefarious, or is it just because paying money for a JPEG is dumb?
I love (making money on) Crypto, and people are generally in favor of it. Why are NFTs so reviled?

What a sad way to celebrate the birthday of a legendary franchise.
Although I guess it was nice enough of them to release the Advance Collection, a nice little gift to the fans.

You do not really own anything, just a code that has no real value, this is just another charade to make more money while pretty much-scamming people. Who wants to purchase the gif below, I could sell it as an NFT, I do not own the rights, but who cares?
If this takes popularity, you will see a lot of games made just for the sake of money first and anything else second.

Imagine you meet a girl online and she asks you money to be your GF. You pay her and get a pic of her that you can show ur friends or sell it. You cant see the girl in real or touch her, but you can say shes ur GF. Thats NFTs.

This is what happens when video games get recorded. Someone at the top wants to profit off somebody else watching video games.

So they managed to top Snake Eater Remake pachinko In terms of shameless exploitation of a series they can’t actually produce anything of value with anymore.

These are screenshots that you absolutely own and have a recorded ownership of. Don't be daft. JK
I just don't get the appeal of the whole thing. Especially these ones that are sold upfront (like those NBA highlights selling for 250k, WTF).

NFTs are cool when you know what you can do with them and some have utilities and perks. This is just stupid

Can we get a thumbs down / middle finger / puking green face reaction yet? I don’t really feel like laughter is the right reaction to shit like this.
Stuff like this will impact your life beyond digital trinkets and baubles sooner than you think.
You’ll be sick for a long time.

In the case of things like these they are trying to sell you the concept that you are basically buying "the original", like a painting. Just like how the original Mona Lisa is worth way more than a reproduction or a print, they'll argue owning the "original" version of some digital art piece will give it more value.
Of course the big fucking difference is that you can't just right click on the Mona Lisa and get an identical version of it, the original is a real tangible object that was actually painted by Da Vinci himself and no print or reproduction of it will ever be completely the same, that's why it has value. Meanwhile your NFT is just a JPEG or Gif.
NFT sellers will also often sell multiple versions with slight differences as "different unique art works". So imagine there were 50 "original" versions of the Mona Lisa, just that in one she is facing to the right, in the other one she has slightly different clothes, in the other one she has a slightly different hairstyle, etc.

A Slap in the face is more educated than this.
I could say in Spanish but.... I dont have the words about this.
