With the supply chain being the network between a company and its suppliers to produce and distribute a specific product to the final buyer, we can say it is an extremely big and important part of the complete business process. Any inefficiency can be crucial and Morpheus Networkβs goal is to fix all the problems that take place in this area.
Recently, the Global Head of Business Development of Morpheus Network, Karl McDermott was interviewed by ISCEA. He gave a great explanation about the goals of Morpheus and the ways how they will realize their objectives and how blockchain will be involved in this process.
These were my conclusions about the interview given by McDermott
Sustainability
The first aspect that gave me a really positive feeling about Morpheus Network is their endgoal to create sustainable supply chains. Every project that reaches for sustainability is promising for me. Focusing on creating a better environment will always deserve that extra goodwill.
Besides making the supply chain more efficient, what indirectly influences the environment in a positive way, Morpheus (and the blockchain) also practices other measurements that create sustainability. For example, robust tracking of Co2 reduction, water, waste and contamination, across the entire supply chain.
The end goal will be the circulation of the supply chain. Creating closed loops in which in which raw materials, components and products lose their value as little as possible which makes it possible to reuse them. The digitalization and automatization will make this a lot easier.
Security
The blockchain will take care of a big part of this. It makes it easier to create trusted datasets. In a supply chain there will me many steps made in between multiple parts of the process (the shipper - freight forwarder - carrier). Blockchain will make it possible to easily store and share data between those parties.
Besides simplifying processing the data, blockchain contributes to a much safer work space. Nowadays, no week goes by without any data hack. Blockchain provides organizations different technologies in order to prevent that.
The use of smart contracts will also help with fixing the inefficiencies. These self-executing contracts will be used as insurance for a variations of events. For example, letβs say there is a catastrophic event to a shipment, the smart contract will eventually know who is responsible and how the process can continue.
These benefits will not onl

If the ESRB would recognize loot boxes as a form of gambling (which they totally are) than perhaps they might mandate that games that contain them must carry an M rating.
I think this would cause the idea of loot boxes in AAA titles to evaporate like a fart in the wind.
Could someone much smarter than me explain how to make this a thing?
