Reading the press release sounded like a late April Fools joke, but I think we all saw where Playtron were heading. After originally announcing PlaytronOS (now GameOS), their Linux-powered gaming system, they're now directly moving into crypto.

    Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers

    I don’t know about you but I think there’s only two valid “economic models” for video games :

    • ongoing subscription for MMOs specifically
    • one-time purchase for every other game

    while enabling consumer incentives only possible via programmable dollars.

    The fuck do I need incentives for, just make a good game. Oh that’s right, these incentives aren’t for the consumers, they’re to take advantage of them.
