To surprise of absolutely no one

An individual named Nathan Ello released the NiFTy Arcade collection on GameStop's marketplace, earning 8.4 ETH (about $14,000) in initial sales. Ello definitively did not have permission to use at least two of these games in his project, and it also appears, but is not entirely certain, that he was not authorized to use a further three more games included in the NiFTy Arcade. Ello additionally did not have license to use the PICO-8 engine utilized in all five of those games.
Ultimately, the NiFTy Arcade was pulled from the GameStop marketplace and Ello's account was suspended, but the diffuse nature of NFTs means that users can still access their copies of these unlicensed games, and their creators may not have any recourse. Ello offered to compensate the developers harmed by the NiFTy Arcade, and has meanwhile revived the project on another marketplace with a promise that future games will be "in proper compliance with all terms of service of the NFT marketplace."

Codex 2014 Make the Codex Great Again! Grab the Codex by the pussy


Mostly geeky, but surprisingly cool to watch.

I doubt a whole game could be made around this concept, but it could definitely pass as a gameplay element in a game. Imagine a Thief-level where Garrett is in a dark place and coats his surroundings with special paint to 'see' things.

There is a whole game based on LIDAR spelunking, it's called Scanner Sombre. The novelty of the tool and visuals carried what would otherwise be a very dull wanking sim.

I mean, that part is a good thing. Those people paid for the thing so they should be able to keep it, even if it's unlicensed. It's much better than whatever the fuck Ubisoft is doing by removing content from games people bought, just because the online features are being shut down.

I don't like NFTs either but having purchasers keep access to their purchased product even after it is removed everywhere is a good thing.
Kinda like how it used to be in the days of physical boxes.
