It&#8217;s not cheap to do that. You&#8217;ve got to bring them away from their jobs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be honest: Until now, NFTs have never amounted to much of anything beyond hype, heartache, financial losses, and the occasional lawsuit. So the fact that Molyneux was able to turn them into something useful is noteworthy, right? It does feel a little superficially sketchy, sure, but unlike a traditional <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/fake-crypto-ceo-that-fronted-dollar13-billion-rug-pull-exposed-as-jobbing-actor-who-got-paid-dollar5000-with-a-suit-thrown-in\/\"><u>rug pull<\/u><\/a> or, to stretch the comparison even further, a crowdfunding campaign that <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/developer-cancels-crowdfunded-mmo-and-disappears-amid-fraud-allegations\/\"><u>fails to deliver the goods<\/u><\/a>, Molyneux&#8217;s 22 Cans studio did in fact develop and release Legacy as promised. It just, you know, really sucked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People played it, but unfortunately, at that time, without the meteoric rise of cryptocurrency that fuelled the real play-to-earn gaming&#8230; I think play-to-earn gaming has been flat and gone down,&#8221; Molyneux said. &#8220;Legacy is still playable on the Gala Games website, but the economic model doesn&#8217;t, in my opinion\u2014and I&#8217;m not a person that deeply understands it\u2014but doesn&#8217;t really work financially, or in gameplay terms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Leaving aside the obvious questions about designing a real-money economy simulator without &#8220;deeply understanding&#8221; the economy that underpins the whole thing, Legacy certainly did seem to work financially for Molyneux and 22 Cans. If that ultimately nets us a real, no-foolin&#8217; Peter Molyneux comeback\u2014which, despite everything, looks like it maybe might be somehow actually possible in Masters of Albion\u2014well, then I guess NFTs are good for something after all, at least in <em>very <\/em>specific use cases.
