I didn't even know they were trying a NFT pivot this late to the trend. https://www.wargamer.com/board-games/cmon-nft-cancel
here's the TLDR>cmon is broke (4mil loss in 024, 20mil loss last year, 8 unfulfilled crowdfunded games, 45000 undelivered units)>the NFT guys are broke (lost 200mil last year, owes nearly 900mil the cancellation is basically just >either they didnt pass inspection, we didnt approve it, they didnt approve it, or their assets didnt hold upwhich is a big nothingburgeri dont speak financial mokeyspeak so i cant really get a read on the NFT guys, but as best i can tell they think>we can make NFTs not a dead """investment""" if we make new blood buy into them (pyramid scheme)>something something digital infrastructure>people will surely invest if investment is """Gamified""" (gambling?)>proceeds to not have any games
>>98404558>>98404338Here is hope CMON will kick the bucket and all their assets and rights will be sold to a more competent company. Privateer Press dying was a blessing for Warmachine.
Seems like a very roundabout way just to make an "aw come on" wordplay.
>>98404558NFTfags keep insisting that they're going to really develop some new legitimate usage for the tech, but none of them ever get to the step where they make it easy for normies to buy the damned things, let alone care about them at all. Making actual products or games of any kind that are legitimately enticing enough for anyone to care enough to consider throwing money away on NFTs also never happens, but executives keep falling for the promises these talentless retards keep making. Seemingly never realizing that if these people could make highly profitable games in the first place, they would be able to show that first, instead of promising that they could totally do it once they get a few billion dollars.
>>98404592CMON already sold off some of their biggest franchises. It's a death spiral.
>>98404758I don't care about any of that garbage, though, I just want them to sell wrath of kings to some up and coming nobody with a can-do attitude
>>98409700>I just want them to sell wrath of kings to some up and coming nobody with a can-do attitudeThis. Dark Age too.
>>98409747Who knows how many amazing pump n dump victims are rotting in their vaults. This could be a golden age for wargaming.
>>98409700Doubt it.Minis are not a good investment for a business with how common place 3D printing has become.That's really all you give a shit about too because CMON sucked a big bag of dicks when it came to making well done board games mechanically.
>>98404758>>98409747What were all of their biggest franchises?Is CMON's situation more dignified than Privateer Press' downfall?
From what i know about CMON>started off as a bitz grifting business>bought by chineseBest thing they did was have an online gallery for painted minis. Kinda like the og facebook for minis.Worst thing they have done is hoover up cool ips and then kill them
>>98409824I'm familiar with their millions of terrible zombicide retreads, but WoK was a wargame designed by someone who gave a shit, and the single d10 roll for combat was elegant and satisfying and it's a shame they never supported it.
CMON has a well deserved reputation.
>>98410794>Best thing they did was have an online gallery for painted minisIt was pretty great for inspiration for other painters. They had a forum too where pros posted how to paint X stuff and terrain modeling too.
I only ever used the gallery site, it was my go to for ideas for my kingdom death miniatures
>>98409747I've got 4 armies for Dark Age languishing away, all because CMON killed the game. I hope someone acquires the game, undoes CMON's additions, and starts publishing it again.>>98409700Wrath of Kings always looked kino. Imagine multipart hard plastics instead of those monopose sculpts
>>98410784They made like a dozen Zombiecide kisckstarters if memory serves. Also Games of Thrones wargame.
