Nah, players get NFTs are dumb

Tell me about it. NFT's are like crypto, bitcoin, and similar coins. Dogecoin is basically an early NFT, for example.

People love them, but don't realize its a ledger. A pyramid ledger. One person controls THAT ledger. It is a position in a line. Its traded, like baseball cards. You buy "X" from someone, that value incrementally goes up. Next person in that line buys it FROM you, that value incrementally goes up again.

Its a scam. Not a fan of it. Holds ZERO value, and does not fluctuate. You can lose money by not being in the right position. Therefore your mining? Thousands down the drain.

I was contacted on Instagram and the person was trying to get me on crypto, trying to be coy on what crypto is... guys, BE. CAREFUL.

Pretty much all of that and then some. I am not opposed to the idea of alternative currency, like what Crypto was meant to, but the only, and main, problem is the idea of controlling it and all. NFTs and all, nowadays, are the modern Pyramid Scheme/Ponzi Scheme of the 80s were you find a sucker to buy in a lot and then cash out

I'm not opposed to a different currency, either, but this is ponzi from a mile away.

Very Ponzi. Not even hid well

GTA 5 will now have been on three console generations. That is wild.

It's hitting the current generation on March 15, 2022

GTA5 and GTA Online PS5 and Xbox Series X and S release date set for March

GTA5 and GTA Online hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S on 15th March, Rockstar has announced.

www.eurogamer.net

For the first three months after launch, a standalone GTA Online will be free to PS5 players. So that's good for those who have one, and don't intend on playing single player.

Haha, same here. I bought the game twice, and it could easily be a third time when I get a PS5 as I'm probably going to miss the window to get Online for free. When it comes to Rockstar I have bought many of their games multiple times across many systems.

Stickied this thread as I think it is a very much important thing to have.

Just realized I have put 186+ hours into Resident Evil on PS4 and that doesn't include all the time I spent playing it on Gamecube as a kid. That means I probably finished this game more than 100 times
