“Play to earn” and NFTs have never been about making games, it’s always been about “how to pretend our speculation-based scam is something that everyone wants”.

They know they can only get so many faithful into the crypto bullshit. And if they don’t get more people in, or at least pretend a lot more will be interested very soon (get yours early!) the illusion breaks.

Soooo… Hey fellow gamer? Do you know what you need? Game money that’s totally (not completely unlike) real money! And you can even earn more just by playing! (our shitty, hastily made pseudo-game).
