Developers/Publishers are always chasing the money. This is why voting with your wallet works (and withholding money does not).
Crypto is and ever growing money pool, which can grow exponentially due to its derivative styl…
I am going to bring this up, because it is a good example of crafting and economic structure.... but I do realized that it is not an MMORPG. The game is Foxhole. For those of you that don't know about this game (https://store.steampowered.com/app/50…
This is part of a larger movement... and sadly there is now precedent. The US Supreme Court ruled that the SEC did not have the constitutional ability to both judge and execute a judgement against the companies that it regulated. The ruling conclude…
Dont expect to see a whole lot of change in how they approach monetization. The fine that they paid (to not have to admit to any wrongdoing) is trivial compared to the amount of money that they made. Sure, they will make some changes in how CS handl…

Show me a viable unique use for blockchain that *doesn't* have monetization as it's base. The blockchain technology is essentially a form of distributed database, and that can and has been done before. Nothing it offers, except f…
Simple answer: No
Longer Answer: People are not understanding the time it takes for this stuff.

If someone wants to save some cash on this. Just send me $50. I'll spin a wheel. If I hit a 20 I'll send you $100 back. If not, I'll still send you $25 back.
