In order for the collection and lore to be congruent it was important to build the world first and not just throw a bunch of PFPs onto the blockchain. I understand this is the way it has been done so far in the NFT space, but that creates a plethora of issues further down the road.
For example, right from the start you’re limited with the depth and authenticity of the lore. Because you have to come up with a story and meaning after the fact. That’s never going to be fully convincing and believable. And it’s one of the main weaknesses most on-chain IPs suffer from.
Another problem is that your future artwork, story, animations etc. is now dictated by randomly generated characters. None of them have an actual personality or justification for their existence. I believe most collectors and holders can feel that whenever a brand tries to go beyond being just a collection. Maybe it’s also the reason why even the biggest successes we have seen are primarily sold as gimmicks or toys, and not something that comes with the same charisma or weight as "real" IPs.
@JackDunc1 Who is their victim, dodo?
You should be gracious enough to let them choose their poison. You clearly have chosen yours. Nobody is upset about that.
We'll stream live tomorrow in the @vvvdotnet Discord server.
Tune in for new art, fresh alpha, EXP codes, and chips rewards!

The private test run of our version of Squid Game is now live.
Once we verified everything works correctly and cheating is hard / impossible, you'll soon be able to participate to unlock server access, WL spots, and more.
We are all about villainy and breaking the rules.
That means if you manage to hack, crack or cheat your way to the top, that's fair play.
Just be careful, because walking the dark path comes with traps and risks.
@gorskon Hint: Whenever a vaxxer has a problem with medical “freedom” he’s either lying or deluding himself. In Gorski’s case, it is probably both, the exact proportion of lie vs. delusion is based on pharma checks/brainwashing ratio.
