Dr Disrespect remains dangerously bullish on NFTs

We can only assume Dr. Disrespect is either delusional or he knows something we don't.

It's not like we're against seeing expensive digital items sold for real money. This lucrative market has existed for decades. For example, the most expensive CS:GO skin is believed to be the Karambit Case Hardened (Blue Gem), which reportedly sold for $100,000 in 2016. The current owner claims he's received offers from buyers for seven digits since.

In theory, Dr. Direspect's idea could work. In practice? It's much easier said than done. We shouldn't look further than Axie Infinity, a game that made mainstream headlines for making a ton of people making a boatload of money, at least this was before its economy ultimately collapsed. It wasn't even remotely good as a game, but it drew the interest of the thousands if not the millions looking to strike gold.

Many games have tried and failed since and many more are still trying to prove that the idea can work, and maybe it can. Who knows? But, the market is full of bad examples and very few good ones if any.

You can't just change the purpose of gaming from providing actual entertainment and value to making it about money and expect things to go smoothly. You can only imagine the problems Deadrop will have after cheaters fill the servers to make a quick buck. If he'd only said this and released the game in 2021, most would have seen his ideas in a different light.

Unfortunately, he didn't. In 2023, the promise of a blockchain game actually working well for all parties involved sounds like a pipedream.

If it's any consolation, Deadrop does have potential. Dr. Disrespect claimed that his game already looked better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and even though this still isn't the case, it could be. The game certainly has the right team behind it, including former Call of Duty stuff. We just don't think Deadrop will be the game to bring NFTs back into the mainstream and make it stay there let alone compete against Call of Duty.
