Legacy Virtual Sales Soar [Dec 14, 2021, 8:04 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The Gala Games Website shows
many of the virtual deeds for Legacy have already sold out. We
just learned that
this game designed by Peter Molyneux and 22cans was fully embracing blockchain
technology, and the cash has already started flowing in.
Rock Paper Shotgun did the math for us, calculating that the virtual land
sold so far took in over 14,000 Ethereum, which is over USD$53 million. Word is
the most expensive item was a London plot that sold for almost $900K. There's an
interview with
Molyneux on The Verge illustrating why blockchain and the famed designer are
a marriage made in heaven:
But what I am immensely proud of is if you make something in your world and you then trade it to someone else, that item that you make, whether it be a building, whether it be a worker, will carry with it all the benefits that you imbued in it. And I think that’s what’s really exciting for me is that the things you acquire on the blockchain will make your world a better place. If you take a worker and you put that worker to work in a mine, over time, that worker will become an expert miner. And then if you take the worker and put him to work in the pub as a landlord, he’ll become an expert landlord / miner. And that sort of experience flows through the whole of Legacy. It’s an all-connected system.
Ah yes, money laundering.
The vast majority of these NFT/crypto purchases are simply legalized (sort of?) money laundering. Plus some morons and wannabe scammers, etc.
What's hilarious to me is we've already moved to virtual garbage exchanged for other virtual garbage. Our entire global economy is going to be inflated beyond recovery by this shit.
