Nah yeah I don’t disagree, I’m not a fan of gambling, I just know it was prevelant within Eve and generally prefer systems that are potentially more fair.
Similarly, I’m not a fan of prostitution, but I’d be in favor of legalizing it in the US so that they have more protection under the law.

There is a lot of transactions that end up taking place “off game” with things like casinos/gambling being a specific example for EVE. Rather then having to trust that you’ll get your isk (I never played but watched the down the rabbit hole on EVE, which is great BTW, and watched from afar throughout the years).
With a smart contract system, there wouldn’t be the same concerns that things aren’t being distributed properly, unless there’s a bug in how the smart contract was written, which absolutely can and has happened, but at least it’d all be publicly viewable. That’s one thing I very much appreciate about the idea of crypto in general, transparency in where money is moving.
I’m sure there’s other potentials but that one stuck out to me as gambling was a rather large part of eve history.

Extensibility, lots of collaborative development work across the crypto landscape rather then only being done by the company producing the game.
A quick obvious example mentioned was smart contracts, a company attempting to create that functionality from the ground up would be a lot more work then hooking into an already existing infrastructure where many lessons have already been learned from prior failures.
It doesn’t actually state in the article (because the writer was mostly just whining that crypto exists) but I am curious if the idea would be for the tokens to be transacted or utilized outside of the game itself in some fashion while still being completely track able.

Lmfao using smart contract functionality for an in-game currency actually makes a ton of sense. It’s basically just a more extensible version of any in-game currency.
The caveat I think of is fees required to transact being a potential issue, otherwise the article just screams of “I hate block chain and refuse to see how it could be used in any way”
- Comment on Google Wallet will let you make a digital ID from a US passport 2 months ago:
I’m sure it’ll be killed and rebranded the new Google pay and the features will be dropped. Then in 5 year rinse and repeat.
I still have a physical Google wallet card from like 2013

Or MAYBE, people who enjoy “hacking” (the actual programmers, not “cheaters”) and go decompile/learn the inner workings of programs might have a better idea of what’s going on? Just a wild guess.
