At first glance NFTs in games seem to make sense. For example take a digital trading card game, might be pretty cool to hold ownership of your cards outside the game and be free to exchange them with other players with no restrictions, right?
But then you have to think a step further: The card is useless without the game. If the game shuts down? Nobody can use the card. If the game decides in two years that the card you own is too powerful and they forbid it from tournament play? Well, wasted money.
So overall you might be able to prove ownership of a "card", but without the context of the game it's meaningless data. And the game has to decide itself what your card means and what it can do. So we're back to simply using a normal database inside the game to hold your cards giving the same benefits (without the headache of NFTs).
The argument that you could use the card or the item in another game is bullshit on top. The other game would have to implement every item, which they simply won't do. So NFTs in the gaming niche are overall bullshit.
Without knowing the actual implementation:
I'd wager comments are preserved and don't get cleaned up over time. Because if content gets deleted the instance has to federate the deletion to other instances to clean everything up (like an event system). If the instance just vanishes there would be no deletion request happening.
If deletion was automatic when an instance goes down we'd have already lost thousands of comments due to the outages lately :)
The two games aren't even in the same genre.
There's plenty to criticize about Diablo 4, but this post is just a dumb take.
That's the case when an instance just straight up shuts down, right?
But if a user deletes their comment this also gets propagated to other instances. Do instance admins have a nuke button to initiate a delete for all content?
Having 4 active accounts is anything but leaving the platform. Hell, I thought they had a single account they are giving up (like most companies).
What bullshit.
I don't get it.
This is a natural daylight shower with exotic spring water. That will put half a million on your evaluation.
Just fyi: You're on lemmy.ml, so part of your comment got caught in the slur filter..
Other instances can write and see 'bitch' :-/
I started at .ml and came here afterwards.
.ml is a bit better stability wise (though it also had worse days..) and on top of that they have a slur filter. So if someone calls you 'bitch' ('bi.tch') all you see is 'removed' on lemmy.ml. While the entire rest of the fediverse can read what I just wrote :-/
With zero training it kinda makes sense: You hold the stock of your gun to your shoulder for support. So the soldier might have thought it's the same for RPGs..
