Mike Shinoda [Linkin Park] wrongly explaining benefit of NFTs in videogames is *chef's kiss*

I cry about SonyGaf from my chair in Redmond, WA
I feel sorry for him.
He lost his best friend, and it was clearly the band was a big part of him. He tried his own thing which really doesn't get anywhere and he still do youtube about the band, makes collections etc. He can't really let it go, and it's like seeing someone who can't let go of their ex.
I feel bad for him.

After seeing this, it’s hard to believe now that I was making fun of selling farts in a jar this week.
I mean, at least you have a jar afterwards to put something in?
No one is gonna give a shit about your one of a kind picture of a Neir Automata helmet 5 years from now, or ever.
With this shit selling, we have little excuse for all not being millionaires right now.
None.

The thing is they won't try to sell private skins that's not the point of this thing... they are going to try to sell people a "unique version" of the skin... this so called "unique version" is the same as the regular one but WITH the NFT token attached to it, that's the only difference.
There's not such a think as uniqueness in a digital world, if you ctrl + c and ctrl + v ANYTHING you'll create another "original" not a copy.
This concept for "uniqueness" or "limited" they are trying to push in a digital world makes absolute no sense whatsoever, but sadly there are enough dumb people to get scammed by such claims.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
AND HOW PRAY TELL IS A RANDOM PLAYER GOING TO IMPORT A MODEL OR TEXTURE INTO A GAME?
That is absolute fucking nonsense.

I know it's always been the meme thing to hate on Linkin Park, but NFT nonsense aside, I think that's the wrong take on Mike. He's got a solo career, and I wouldn't say it's "not going anywhere," so much anything is going to look like a failure next to a band that puts out singles like Numb, which, regardless of quality or talent, have 1 billion views on YouTube.
Also, it's not like he can't let go. He was the songwriter for most of the Linkin Park music, even Breaking the Habit, which is usually regarded as Chester Bennington's theme song, essentially. If you wrote something that was super popular, that people still wanted to hear, and your band was currently on hiatus, what would you do?

Like others have said, the hype for NFTs is ridiculous at times, but I could see some very specific gaming-related NFTs.
For example, imagine if TT sold NFT NPCs based on real life celebrities who could then appear in all future Rockstar games like GTA. For example, imagine if Dr. Dre had an NPC that TT sold for $5 that is available for a limited time with the release of the Dr. Dre DLC in GTAO. Beyond this, I could see a feature in which users could make/sell NFTs for user-created NPCs with specific storylines, etc. who would then always be available to add as NPCs in future GTA titles.
While these aren't NFTs, you actually see the demand/interest in NPCs for gaming franchises over time in the Animal Crossing series. After 20 years and multiple Animal Crossing titles, there are now over 400 NPC villagers in the game and you currently only have space for 10 villagers on your island. People already go to great lengths to get the most popular villagers (like Raymond for example). People already pay over $100 for the individual amiibo cards of popular villagers, as the amiibo card gives you the ability to invite the villager to your campsite in-game.
While I think there is little to no chance that we will ever see Nintendo selling NFTs for villagers in Animal Crossing (as the current amiibo system is clearly working for them, with AC amiibo cards selling out instantly), there is definitely a market for unique/specific NPCs in games like Animal Crossing (and GTA) that heavily-feature NPCs.

Also, who said it better? Mike or Reese Witherspoon?:
"For all asking, NFTs are just digital goods. Your kids understand this because of Roblox or Minecraft. The sale of digital goods will be more important as we evolve to have more digital access to music, art and entertainment."

Haven’t we already kinda crossed this bridge though? Micro transactions are already a thing - wouldn’t this just be a different version of that?

What?
I think you don’t understand how NFT’s work either, you usually can’t actually do anything with the asset you “own”, it’s just a licence to say that it’s yours.
Or maybe it’s not? Who knows, I still have no idea what they are really. But I’m pretty sure it’s not as you described.

I always find it amazing when people just accept that something cant be done because of reasons.
One doesnt have to have all the answers to speculate and suggest things that are, frankly, entirely possible.
Especially if the thing that stops something from happening is a law.
Can you even comprehend the legal remifications of what you're suggesting?!?!?!?!

That’s what I meant as well, I don’t see developers implement any license/asset that comes not from them because it’ll take them time, money and the newly created assets to support said license is only for 1 person.
Nothing you've just mentioned requires NFTs whatsoever.

Right. I'm not suggesting that this requires NFTs. I am of the opinion that NFTs would be a reasonable means of encouraging companies/users to develop substantive NPCs. I agree though that there are many other ways developers can offer or support user/company-made NPCs.
