Gamestop, NFTs and their own Metaverse to support the marketplace.

With more and more Metaverse and NFT hype rolling out by the day, I wanted to share this with more people. It hasn't had many eyes yet.

 

I've said it for a while.

GameStop are making their own metagame universe and all their partners are invited.

My guess of what's happening is a metagame universe as a social platform where you can shop for anything like in Ready Player 1. You buy it there and the physical version arrives at your house, tied to NFT so you can wear it in the metaverse too.

That place to hang out becomes the login portal for games or watching VR things with friends or desktop games etc.. or a blockchain based stock market made by Loopring.

More:

> Instead of logging on Facebook to see what your friends are up to. Or Steam to invite a friend to play a game.

> You open a "game" on your computer that's a universe where you and your friends walk around to socialize and catch up. If you find a game you like you all hop in that portal inside the universe and it logs you in. Your ID is tied to the character you logged in as kind of thing.

> Now you tie NFT cosmetics to it and you can wear or drive cool shit around the universe (or games that support it) and even gamble the NFTs if that's your thing (CSGO knives anyone.) Or even blockchain based real estate in the universe.

> It's the entire economy inside the Digital world, that is tied to physical items through blockchain and NFTs

These guys just said they are actually doing at least something with that, mentioned metaverse specifically. and since that image now accept LRC to buy stuff at GameStop.

Gamestop are partnered with everyone, Nintendo, Sega, Funko, and Microsoft, even esports, PokΓ©mon, and whatever they can interact with on a card table like [nft Legos](https://www.brickfanatics.c

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

GameStop's metagame universe, or why I think loopring is just the beginning

I've said it for a while.

GameStop are making their own metagame universe and all their partners are invited. I'm gonna explain as much as I can now since more people are asking.

What a GOOD metaverse is going to be (or why I think the market is wide open and Facebook/Meta has no advantage just from a name change)

A metagame universe (metaverse) is a virtual existence... let me elaborate.

 

Think of it as you log into your avatar, pick any metaverse your avatar is connected to, and go run around like it's WoW. The difference is, things you buy from nft/physical hybrid stores will be cosmetics you can wear on these worlds (or supporting games) and a real (physical) version can be delivered to your house upon request (or earning.)

 

You now are in an online based social hangout where you can easily transition between games/products all connected to the metaverse (think of them as decorated/themed portals that you run into to log in, (proxy environments if you will) as you've already logged into your avatar for credentials) or if the universe supports title releases you could go hang out at the gate with your friends for the launch/countdown event (sounds like an NFT giveaway to me.)

While you wait for your friends? Whip out your portable Gameboy and start playing an old game with its save state tied to NFT/blockchain and you could continue that game later on your switch after you load that state. (Or sell/trade it to someone else)

Got a long way to drive to get to the other game you want to play? Whip out your Lambo NFT to drive the shrewd there.

Maybe go visit the blockbuster to pick up an NFT movie to watch for the afternoon back at your meta-pad.

 

Then we get into the world of modding, or as you could word it. Publishing games that might not get published without the need of a game publisher.

Think of this, an at home modder/game developer wants to make a new game...

The current situation requires that person to join a company and give that idea away for scraps, or create a new game studio and try to be the corporate side of the thing to get it running.

With a correctly built metaverse you can change that completely. LUA programming, allow modders/devs to create portals for development. In that environment there's access to work for hire, other avatars in the universe with skills you need like 3d art or character rigging.

You (the dev) select through a list of artists products, find the one that fits your game and use it. Or if you want it customized work with that avatar to fit your art style. It's tied via NFT to
