Then maybe just ignore those people and let the people running businesses just do what they need to do, like issue empty PR damage control statements like any hacked organization will do

Lets make fun of them just like we were making fun of Okta’s response over Lapsus

No need to project your own cognitive dissonance

> No need to project your own cognitive dissonance

Not sure why you felt the need to insult me but that won't lead to useful discussions...

[vmception]

Okay what word would you prefer to call “two competing and conflicting beliefs” and what are your actual thoughts on the rest of what I wrote?

[erdeszt]

What do you mean by "two competing and conflicting beliefs"?

[vmception]

A company that uses blockchain technology for their game contacting authorities

A group of people that aspire for blockchain technology to fulfill an ideological goal

You conflated both of those people as the same

[erdeszt]

Isn't that company also trying to fulfill the same ideological goal? Their twitter even says "Freedom for gamers". Looks exactly the same type of bs to me.

[vmception]

No, they're not.

Many organizations use blockchain technology to offload the need to develop the account model, user state management, and accounting, lowers overhead costs for some kinds of ventures as well as being trendy which is able to get an audience very quickly. This inherently comes with some aspects of less-centralization (in case you or someone passing by is allergic to the word "decentralization"), there isn't any ideology to adopt with that, its just a matter of reality. In Axie's case, gamers are able to resell assets they've acquired without the Axie platform or opinion of company. It fulfills a market interest and that's it. Many people are also making enough money to support themselves by playing/grinding/joining guilds, this is also an aspiration form of freedom.
