Paid Members seph Posted January 14, 2022 Paid Members Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) Wasn't sure which thread to put this in as it covers so much, but the world was a better place when Voice Actors didn't sabotage their own careers. TLDR it's a tool to essentially create any line of dialogue in a VA's voice that the VA will not own, but get royalties to depending on how popular they are. Thus a ponzi scheme (click on the tweet to see how 'popular' this is already) Edited January 14, 2022 by seph Quote

That's a huge red flag. Mickey Mouse & James Cameron are off whaling with some pay to win mechanics. Quote

I’m really interested in how these sequel’s fare. Because at least over here no-one gives a shit about Avatar, but it still seems fairly popular in the US. But it will be 13 years since the first film by the time this sequel comes out. Will people still be THAT bothered? Quote

Just another way for stupid people to pretend they’re going to get rich by working the system. I heard that you don’t even own the rights to the content of the NFT but just that very specific digital code. Quote

As a result, it significantly increases global energy consumption." https://www.renewableenergyhub.co.uk/blog/how-much-energy-do-nfts-take-up/ Quote
