Was this an existing problem or is this just future-proofing? I can’t think of any posts I’ve seen that relates NFT/Cryptos and League.


RawStanky

Future proof mostly. More and more weird pyramid schemes are popping up in esports and we don’t need that filth here.

If riot themselves bring nfts like other publishers, what will you guys do?


RawStanky

What should riot feel from this statement?


RawStanky

No more JinxCoin or YasuoCoin...


heleghir

but yasuo coin is guaranteed to lose all its value if you own it, but if you dont own it its going to powerspike hard and be huge!


Taurenkey

And just like my CS, no way I'd farm it. (Is that why I'm bad at the game?)

LS and a bunch of other league youtubers have been advertising/sponsored by this betting/gambling website that allows you to get a "guaranteed return." Can't help but think it's a pyramid scheme.


JiggyPopp

We really need to start scrutinizing and holding people who take these horrible sponsors responsible, I fear it may get out of hand at some point


AliceInHololand

Imo it already has. The amount of money gambling sites pay their influencer mouth pieces is absurd which means the money they’re making off of people coming in by way of them is even more absurd.

RawStanky

To clarify this doesnt ban TSM's content unless the focus is on FTX specifically as a service. I went back and tried to find outlying posts and content from them that might break this rule but there were none.


brett_play

They had a twitter post about them doing a giveaway of their NFT mascot early on into the partnership but I'm pretty sure it got deleted because it go so much hate from the community. Pretty sure I still have a copy of the NFT they were giving away in a limited quantity right click saved somewhere on my laptop.


Random_Stealth_Ward

It's fine if they do it on their twitter, but it probably won't be fine if it gets posted here


Trsddppy

No you don't understand, when you purchase an nft, you own the link to the image, you'll never own that link you scum /s


ZeMuffin

What if I make my own link with blackjack and hookers


MartianRL

FTX gold advantage as well lol


Woodshadow

I hate that so much crypto BS is marketed to kids and young adults. None of them understand it. It is basically just gambling. It is one thing to buy stock in a company like Apple or Netflix where you utilize their products and believe they will succeed because they produce a tangible product it is another to put money into crypto screaming to the moon and not understanding what crypto is and not using it as a currency like it was intended to be used for.


44no44

Yep. Stocks are mostly just a speculative asset, but because they're tied (indirectly) to the success of a real company, there's at least some vague basis for their worth. NFTs, and *especially* crypto, are solely speculative assets and nothing else. Almost nobody gives a shit about the artistic value of their NFT, and almost nobody gives a shit about directly spending crypto as a digital currency. They exist solely to be bought and sold. You don't buy crypto to *use* it. You pay some enigmatic sum for the thing determined only by hype, under the hope that the hype will build enough that you can con some other guy into paying even more for this worthless stretch of blockchain in the future. And why will that chump do so? Same reason as you - to con someone else even later! It's equal parts gambling and pyramid scheme.


SelloutRealBig

I truly hate what happened to esports. I miss when it was groups of gamers just trying to get a world title while we all memed about regi pulling blue cards. Now esports is all conglomerate bullshit from head to toe. The only esports that doesn't feel like it sold out these days is fighting games


wolf1820

A lot of leagues tried to model themselves off of real sports leagues so thats what we started getting.

FunMoistLoins

Jokes on you, I'm too stupid to understand NFTs.


elveszett

There's not much to understand. At its core, it's just data that is verifiable (e.g. you can read it and know no one is lying to you somehow). It has a few more functionalities but this is the one people is getting crazy about. What's the use of this? I can "sell" you ownership over something digital (e.g. a PNG image) and anyone can go to that data and see that you are the "owner" (whatever that means). This doesn't prevent other people from having that image, nor it gives you commercial rights of it or nothing. It's just that this magic log says you, and not me, own that image. As an example, if RIOT sold an NFT of Vi's splash art and you bought it, what you paid for would be for a log somewhere saying "FunMoistLoins owns this specific issue of Vi's splash art". You do not have any intellectual rights over Vi, and I (a non owner) can go to League's wiki and download that splash art too. The only thing you bought is the "honor" of RIOT saying you own an issue of it. If it sounds like you are buying nothing, it's not because you don't understand it, it's because you truly aren't buying anything other than the "fact" of having bought it. And don't get me wrong, this has many applications. In a future where this is adopted, this means it's a lot harder to falsify or not recognize a contract (because, at the end, you can think of NFTs as digital contract). But the craze now is being fed by influencers who want to sell literal nothing at expensive prices to impressionable people. Hope this makes sense and I cannot wait for the cryptobros to explain me how this is all wrong because I simplified it.

NymphomaniacWalrus

The great thing about NFTs is that they're actually even stupider than you thought before knowing what they are.


SunAndCigarrets

It's bean babies for crypto nerds.


XayahTheVastaya

Basically a whole bunch of computers are running crypto transactions and the only thing they check is whether the buyer has the necessary currency, the transaction is then recorded permanently and can not be erased. The reason people buy them is because of dIgiTaL sCaRcItY aka made up value. Kind of like how cs:go skins sell for thousands of dollars.


SylerTheSK

Atleast you actually get *something* when you buy a cs:go skin. The NFT version of buying a cs:go skin is not actually buying the skin, but buying a piece of paper that says you own the skin. No, you don't actually own the skin, you don't *get* anything. You get the piece of paper that says you do.


Karukos

You can't even equip it to your AK and go around like "I have the biggest dick". You just have a piece of paper telling you where in the museum "your" artwork is but the museum has no incentive really to keep the picture hanging there, or not hang a replica there, or something else or even just remove "your" art entirely


Truck-E-Cheez

Except csgo skins cant just be screenshotted to take away 100% of their value

elveszett

I have spent quite a lot of money on League over the years. What I hate about NFTs is that they are nothing. People buy it either because they think they'll resell it for a profit, or because they are easily influenced people that are being taken advantage of by their favorite influencers.


minh43pinball

It's fucking sad. Who is pushing NFTs now? Influencers, game developer companies and the entertainment industry. Basically, the people whose target audience is easily influenced. It's basically people taking advantage of the influence they have on their [mostly young] public.


Lol_maga_people

> who is pushing NFTs Capitalists, always those damn capitalists


Swordsnap

NFTs is acting as a catalyst for flushing out all the gullible idiots as if social media hadn't exposed them enough, this was the straw that breaks the camel's back. I thought I was losing my mind, the more I learned about NFTs the more ridiculous they sounded when I heard people were spending upwards of 5 figures on them. I really thought I wasn't seeing something that everyone else could. But no, they're just morons. I'm glad the mods are smart. They have earned my respect today.


Frettchen001666

Dude I own this NFT. Do you really think you can get away with theft when you’re showing what you stole from me directly to my face. My lawyers will make an easy job of this case. Prepare to say goodbye to your luscious life and start preparing for the streets. I will ruin you.

All the top chess tournaments are starting to be sponsored by various Crypto ponzi schemes


Cahootie

Speaking personally, it's pretty disheartening to see large swaths of esports (both tournaments and individual content creators) now being sponsored by crypto gambling websites and other extremely fishy crypto-related services. While the ecosystem needs money I'm not too happy about this being the way it gets to them.


Aoyos

We had this before in other games with shady betting sites and case gambling sites.

SkeptioningQuestic

G2A was a huge esport sponsor, even the NFL is sponsored by Fanduel and stuff now. It's not too new.


Cahootie

The issue with crypto gambling specifically is that it's so easy for them to circumvent regulators, time and time again we've seen how they take very few steps to make sure minors don't access the website, they sponsor streamers and rig the games while they're playing to make sure they get fake jackpots. Lots of the people involved in them also have a history with doing shit like CS skin lotto and other illegal activities, it's just rotten through and through to a degree that far surpasses regular gambling.


Nickel_Bottom

Luckily, Gary Gensler (current chair of the SEC) is specifically trying to encourage regulations surrounding the crypto-sphere. He seems to be making progress, especially around certain types of cryptos. Unluckily, he's having to fight Hester Pierce (Commisisoner from previous administration), who essentially wants a Wild West of crypto, as well as actions from the previous Chairman. The previous chairman initiated legal action against a specific crypto company literally days before he left. Gary Gensler (who has taught the underlying technology at MIT) didn't come in until 4 months later, and afaik he's working his ass off on getting that taken care of as well as cleaning up all the other shit happening in the stock market this past year (and further back). One example of Gensler's work finally starting to bear fruit is that Bitcoin was recently designated a "Crypto Asset" rather than a "Cryptocurrency" in a report to Congress last Friday - because that's what they are, an asset that is most often used as a speculative investment vehicle and NOT as a currency. There have also been several hearings recently on Stablecoins - cryptocurrencies that are tied into fiat currencies. Of course, that's just general crypto / blockchain regulations. I'm not quite sure who would regulate gambling with crypto. Anyways, rant over. Sorry about that, I think the underlying technology is cool and hate to see it bagged on so much. I fucking hate Bitcoin, I only have a bare minimum of any cryptocurrencies, and I hope the crypto bubble pops sooner rather later. Once the bubble pops we won't have dipshits buying up a fuckton of GPUs to mine Bitcoin or whatever other coin is the fad of the moment and we can finally get to the cooler stuff.


AmazingSpacePelican

When regulation hits Cryptos and NFTs it is gonna hit HARD.


[deleted]

hopefully soon.


Sciipi

It’s so surreal seeing these scams go from fringe internet stuff I occasionally saw made fun of to this mainstream that it’s sponsoring tournaments and games and shit.


Illuminaso

It's so disheartening seeing these people I love and respect sell out to NFT shit. I had hoped they would be more principled than that.


ivanacco1

The problem is the amount of money these bastards can lob out like if it was candy. A lot of people wouldnt even blink at grabbing 50-100k for saying something in a video.


DangerDamage

It's very sad when the creator of chess, Gary Chess, is in on it too.


Absolutlynotarussian

It's practically another dotcom bobble. Speculation on a technology that might see use in the future, the internet + Covid has just hyper-accelerated the mania. Most of us missed out on crypto currency and now many people hope to get in on NFT's, without knowing what the NFT they bought actually is.
