Reading the press release sounded like a late April Fools joke, but I think we all saw where Playtron were heading. After originally announcing PlaytronOS (now GameOS), their Linux-powered gaming system, they're now directly moving into crypto.

    Game Dollar will unlock new economic models for developers

    I don’t know about you but I think there’s only two valid “economic models” for video games :

    • ongoing subscription for MMOs specifically
    • one-time purchase for every other game

      Fortnite, league of legends, any other freemium game?

        There is a correct way to do that but no one does it :

        • Sell items for real currency directly
        • No loot boxes
        • No time limits, including battle passes. All items are always available for purchase.
        • Every item purchasable individually outside of any bundle
        • And of course, reasonable prices.
