Careful, Pokemon Have Guns Now.

TL;DR

• Palworld was created by a dude who made his early fortune in crypto, which has sparked a wave of hypothesis on whether or not the sport will combine NFTs.

• Our wager is, it received’t. The sport is being distributed on Steam and Xbox, each of which have both outright banned NFTs (Steam), or frown upon them (Xbox).

Full Story

This time final 12 months, we reported:

“…of the $7.1B that was doled out to Web3 corporations in 2022, the gaming class sucked up 62% of it!“

Ever since then we’ve been anxiously ready to see one thing (something!) come out and discover traction.

And this previous week, our hopes weren’t answered, however as an alternative teased by:

Palworld – aka “Pokemon, with weapons.”

(This factor got here out of nowhere, and promptly went on to promote 7 million copies in underneath every week).

Dumb title, sure. Riddled with potential copyright infringements? Double sure.

Web3 built-in? No (😫).

However right here’s the place the ‘teased hope’ is available in: Palworld was created by a dude who made his early fortune in crypto, which has sparked a wave of hypothesis on whether or not the sport will combine NFTs.

Our wager is, it received’t.

The sport is being distributed on Steam and Xbox, each of which have both outright banned NFTs (Steam), or frown upon them (Xbox).

And the Palworld creators are going to need to reply some greater questions first, like:

How do these characters not impede on the Pokemon Firm’s mental property? (Trigger there are some fairly close calls right here).

Oh nicely, we are able to dream…
