Imagine trying to ‘extract’ with an item you discovered worth $100,000 on the chain.
Think about entertainment value as a viewer let alone player.
A new pvp experience is upon us…

Happy to see this concept (slowly) permeating into the wider gaming space, slowly but surely.
A concept and technical advancements in our projects games at AlwaysGeeky Games, that we have been championing for the past 2+ years, happy to finally see the tide starting to turn.

NFTs are a scam, Doc.
This is coming from someone who bought your Founders Pass for Deadrop, HOPING you would stop there and use it as a "Ticket to the show" and not "The entire point of the show"
Good luck, but I feel like this is a rocky path to take.

What happens when the person carrying it gets railed by a cheater? It’d suck losing it legit, but to shenanigans? That’d be a tough pill to swallow

Conceptually sounds okay. But realistically everyone and their mother will cheat in a game like this. How would you stop that problem when it already plagues games like tarkov and the cycle? Once real money is at stake the problem would be 100x worse imo.

The integrity of this excitement dies instantly if one cheater even surfaces to steal it, forever.
Buuuuuut if the anticheat is ground breaking then its the first of its kind.
