I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic. I’m also a regular on IGN’s Fireteam Chat podcast and have published five sci-fi novels.
, an extraction shooter that attracted a lot of initial attention due to its sale of NFTs as profile pictures for the game, granting early access to it.has shifted away from the concept, not that it ever caught on in the first place. Midnight Society has repeatedly said that they want DEADROP development to be transparent and open with fans over time.
To Midnight Society’s credit, they have indeed delivered in a somewhat timely fashion a series of “Snapshots,” different bits and pieces of the game that these early access fans can play, including debuting some of them at in-person events with Doc and others. The “Snapshot” idea, delivering non-stop vertical slices of the game every few weeks or months didn’t seem like it would work out well, but so far, they’re still going, and things have continued at a relatively decent clip.
But it feels like the game is moving continually in a Star Citizen-like direction, selling more and more things as it goes., which allowed for Snapshot access, exclusive cosmetics, exclusive streaming rights, gameplay event invites and a season 0 battle pass, with no date attached. Those were limited, but codes can be bought and sold.
So, got all that? You can see where this is going, that while open and transparent development may be one thing, this is taking something as simple as closed early alphas and monetizing it to a pretty extreme degree in the name of “community,” selling loads of items for a game with no official release date. At this point I can’t tell what is or is not taking place on the blockchain here, but no, you’re not seeing the term “NFT” here any longer, that’s for sure.
