[QUOTE="Anon Adderlan, post: 9266208, member: 53053"] On the one hand they created viable product. Not my cup of tea, but above average for the industry. On the other their industry segues are nonsensical on every level. Exactly how would NFTs even integrate with a tabletop RPG? It's not like they have the electronic licenses for these properties. And a CA based corporation having 25~30 employees could easily eat up more than half of that $1.5mil, which all things considered isn't a lot to begin with, and people need to adjust their perceptions of wealth to keep up with reality. They went too big and too broad, and like many other businesses are now paying the price. The personality clashes aren't anything new for startups like this though. In fact they're the norm, and these sort of shakedown phases are a regrettable part of the process. It's less about bad actors and more about compatible ones. And none of us will ever know the 'full' story. Regardless of anything else at least folks can take solace in the fact they were supporting a Black owned business. All I know is the mods deleted the FoF channel on the Z #Discord because it wasn't getting enough traffic, days before they booted me for doing literally nothing. Which isn't even a possibility in an industry where all the infrastructure is privately owned, and why things have become even [I]more[/I] centralized since 2.0. Difference is it isn't a fad and actually generating useful product. Not true. I'm under the impression they got these licenses as a package deal, for far less than one would expect, for one shot products with no support planned. It's also possible that industry contacts allowed them to operate with less costly oversight than typical licensees. [/QUOTE]
