Wasteland 3 Developer Mocks New NFT Console
Depending on who one asks, “Web 3.0” is both the web’s blockchain-powered future or a meaningless buzzword slapped on cryptocurrency, NFT, and Metaverse scams. Many are thus suspicious of the just lately introduced Web 3.0 NFT Console Polium One, which some commentators doubt will ever exist. However, Wasteland 3 developer inXile Entertainment no less than managed to have some enjoyable at Polium One’s expense.
Earlier immediately, inXile Entertainment tweeted their “new logo,” a purple dice with the corporate’s identify inexpertly slapped on the facet. This is a direct parody of Polium’s emblem, which many really feel is a shameless rip-off of GameCube’s.
The parody emblem is a purple dice with the “inX” a part of the corporate’s identify carved out of it and the “ile” wanting like somebody drew it on the facet with the comb device from MS Paint. “Thinkin about changing to a new logo,” inXile’s tweet reads, “(kind of ran out of room).” Unfortunately, not everybody obtained the joke, with different customers having to elucidate the context within the Tweet’s replies. Still, anybody conscious of Polium One’s announcement will seemingly choose up on the joke moderately rapidly.
For anybody who missed out on this bit of stories, tech startup Polium introduced the Polium One on July 4th. However, the world’s first NFT console virtually instantly took flack for its emblem. The emblem resembles a white and gray dice with a stylized black “P” minimize out of it in order that the letter has a smaller dice inside. This is remarkably much like the GameCube emblem, which does the identical factor however with a purple dice and the letter “G.”
Logo design isn’t folks’s solely criticism of the Polium One. NFT video games are already controversial, so an NFT console can be a step too far for a lot of. The firm additionally makes some fairly massive guarantees regardless of solely having about 4 folks engaged on the console. These elements, mixed with the shortage of a working prototype, and the truth that prospects can pre-order Polium One by shopping for right into a “Polium Pass” NFT, are sufficient to have many web customers calling it a rip-off.
