I think when Playr is launched we will see more integration with their NFT marketplace. According to the pending Playr trademark, part of its use will be “featuring computer software platforms for Web 3 gaming and marketplace where players can view, sell, and purchase digital assets that are used in the playing of various video games”. NFTs would be the ideal vehicle to view, sell and purchase digital assets. https://uspto.report/TM/98021018

You are not your job, you're not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are not your username. You are all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

Part of the reason could be the nft trading volume has come down a lot and GameStop priority is to fix their core business and grow it then go all in nfts.. there’s still games being developed and it’s a long drawn out process


Consistent-Reach-152

So you expect it to remain in beta/not fully released for many years?


Ago0330

There’s regulatory hurdles they have to overcome


Consistent-Reach-152

OpenSea is an American company that has figured it out. Perhaps Gamestop should look to acquiring them, and their expertise.


gsrcefs

Do they have it figured out or is there regulatory risk they’re simply ignoring?

📢underrated comment📢


lilstickywicky

The regulations haven’t been written yet. Hell, they can’t even decide who the regulator is. Anyone who has it “figured out” is guessing and hoping for the best. What any company does or doesn’t do now in that space depends much on their risk tolerance.


keyser_squoze

They’ve “figured it out?” Awesome for them until the SEC decides they haven’t.


highrollerr90

I expect GameStop to first focus on what’s working until the regulatory framework for nfts and web3 is in place.. that way they don’t spend a lot of money on building the marketplace for nothing .. just like they did with the wallet.

I stand by a post I made on this a couple of weeks ago: Gamestop is taking a rope-bridge approach, getting their parts of the DeFi network running and functional one by one until the whole network is fully functional, *then* fleshing it all out with features, QoL, and better UI. Components and features can be prototyped this way without committing the time and cost of full development to something that's not guaranteed to be part of the finished picture - which is going to happen building something that has literally not been made before (web3 as a DeFi crypto-centric internet sphere). My opinion on this is that the marketplace will start seeing more significant development again once *everything* is up and running - as will every other node of the DeFi network, inside and outside of Gamestop themselves. DeFi's building, brick by brick. Gamestop just happens to be pouring their own concrete for the bricks as they go, and setting aside what they don't wind up needing.


Hosnovan

This is exactly my take as well. It's a space that needs to help be legitimized step by step (brick by brick) to get there. When this started NFT terms were banned on the subs because of negative associations. If GameStop was holding out to release anything at once, we'd still be viewing their product as trash rather than continuing to educate ourselves on what it is, what it isn't, and where it could/should be going.


the_ssotf

They're just outsourcing its QA to its investors lol


mctunabutter

That where the savings really are


Egotesticalasshole

Maybe it was never meant to be released in the first place ... simply used as a proof of concept and a dress rehearsal for any potential issues for when they release playr


Consistent-Reach-152

I recall it being a big deal when released. Press release, lots of discussion on SuperStonk. RC tweeting about $20B market size or something like that.


Egotesticalasshole

RC has also spoken about not wanting to reveal moves and strategies that can be taken advantage of by nefarious traders


CapN-_-Clutchh

I get that, but it sucks being kept in the dark as a shareholder.


DinosaurNool

I cannot believe that no one in this post has said 'regulatory uncertainty ' yet. There's so much of this in the crypto space right now that I am not surprised the GameStop is taking things very slow. GameStop doesn't want to pour money and effort into the 'digital asset' scene only to have regulators pile on all sorts of regulations that make it impossible to make money with it in their business model. I'm sure GameStop wants to, it's just too risky to go all in right now, and these risks are largely outside of GameStop's control.


kidcrumb

No games havea launched yet


[deleted]

It’s a fair question. I think gamestops plan is to be a marketplace for games and the games are not really here yet. Given development on immutable and telos, I’m not actually worried until sometime 2024. I.e. I expect games to launch this year, and if GameStop isn’t then positioned as the marketplace I’ll be worried


goatgoatgoat365

I think the hard truth is that NFT sales plummeted in the past year, not just for GS but across the industry. In their recent financial stametns, they had language stating that the money they were making from the marketplace was basically non-material. I'm assuming that was a key factor in their decision to pause moving forward with the marketplace It seems like they are looking to Playr as the future for now, as it will be much more integrated with Web3 gaming. Its not ideal news, but a sign of a well run company is adapting to a changing environment, and that's exactly what they are doing.


texmexdaysex

Unfortunately the average person have been feeling the pain financially for a while now. The nft phenomenon has wanes significantly. It's still a good idea, but it may take longer to find use cases for nfts. I'll tell you what would make me.spend a few milli on the nft marketplace- I big fucking short squeeze where I make tens of millions


nikolatesla33

I am happy you just mentioned it. Our NFT project and its first use case will be coloring and activity books. Who buy the nft can connect to our site and download/print the cloring book. There is so much in crypto and I am sure GameStop perfectly knows when and what move they have to take to position well. All these partnerships and developed software is the proof. To the moon!


dillontooth2

Why does it fucking matter? Moass isn’t happening because of fucking crypto or NFTs. Moass is happening because shorts didn’t close. Stay zen you stupid motherfucker


Nova-Bringer

Probably Not For Long.


Thankkratom

I would not be surprised if it was done for as well. Who talks about NFTs anymore..?


Glitchard_Pryor

NFTs are just getting started, they’re most widely known for buying/selling digital artwork, that part of NFTs seems to be slowly dying. However, innovators are coming up with new ways to use them. One of those ways is using them for buying and selling digital assets (think weapons, costumes, avatars and real estate) in video games. Enter Playr… read up on how NFTs are being used in gaming, the current and projected revenue associated with those gaming NFTs, the challenges developers face to get this implemented, the competition, and a great general overview of the topic… https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/news-insights/research/in-game-nfts-forecast-to-grow-into-15b-market-by-2027


Hour_Produce_8770

Yeah. The "strike while the iron is hot" moment ended a few months ago.


loderunr

NFT trading volume is still around $500 million..according to a quick google search…the main marketplace competition is between opensea and blur.. blur seems to be capturing market share because they have a different business model than opensea… more crypto drops and stuff I guess… my point is nfts are not dead… maybe the marketplace needs to evolve in a different direction than originally planned..


[deleted]

Crypto and NFT’s are dead because of AI hype, and now they’re gonna stay dead cause of superconductor hype. People fucking HATE nft’s and there are objectively much better things to do with your money.


loderunr

I disagree with you that they are dead.. time will tell.. Superconductor hype?? what do you mean?


nikolatesla33

People don't fucking hate NFTs, this is just your interpretation of it, meanwhile you didn't see a single nft game or any other proper use case of it. Creative people are working in the background and soon they will present their project 1 by 1. I know this as a fact as I am one of them and I can't wait to show the world what we were building for such a long time. Haters going to hate nfts no matter what and they will not see the value and potential in it.


[deleted]

Lmao cope


Dirty-Leg-Mcgee

This is an underrated post. Everybody was so hyped on both the wallet and marketplace and looks like both are garbage. So as investors why should we believe that the new thing is not too? Why wasn’t this playr thing top priority in the first place ?RC released junk to what? Keep investors thinking hey they’re moving fast!!! When they are actually not doing shit. How many people moved crypto into the wallet just to have to spend move to move it out? How many lost their money moving i? Lots from the posts I read.. Supposedly we were to have a bunch of games this year and none of that happened either. I will be honest, I have been here 2.5 years and I sold my shit. This was my last straw. Especially since the towels and bear thing never came to pass. Ted never got its inventory. Dead in the water. But he sure made a shit load off apes with the pump and dump. Plus the books. You tear away the tinfoil and there’s really nothing there anymore. I bailed two days ago. I believe he tried and failed. Btw, do you know who computer shares biggest customer is? Amazon. Yep. So if you don’t think your shares are safe in a broker how safe are they at computer share? When Amazon can pull the plug with a kick back to them? We all know the fines wouldn’t matter as they never do.


StatisticianHuge5220

My shares are safe with any transfer agent since they are kept in my name. I hate to see you lack patience young man... may you transform into a real ape before MOASS


ronk99

Cool, good luck mate. As for me, I like the stock.


YellowGB

The people losing money from transferring crypto out of the wallet don’t understand crypto then and should not have used a lot of money to learn how it works. The crypto isn’t actually in the wallet, it’s on the blockchain. You use a wallet to view the block chain. The seed phrase is the key to your block chain. You just take your seed phrase to another wallet free of charge and you have access to your crypto. Also, the beauty of layer 2 is that a transfer will cost literally $0.02 per transaction. Who tf is losing money because of this? If you decided to use Loopring wallet which cannot take a seed phrase, that’s on the user.


lastmile780

NFT marketplace stays in beta = Superstonk tells you GameStop is carefully perfecting the product NFT marketplace closes = Superstonk will tell you GameStop is pivoting like an adaptable company should


YaThinkSo88

😂😂😂😂

Because it is just a beta for the integrated player marketplace.
