"I thought you were better than that" - DrDisrespect teases "digital collectibles" worth $100K in Deadrop, leaves the community divided

Veteran streamer Guy "DrDisrespect" is no stranger to controversy. His recent Twitter post speculating about in-game extraction with digital collectible items worth $100,000 has now sparked debate within the gaming community.

He hinted at the idea of a blockchain-based system for such collectibles, though he did not directly confirm whether this would be incorporated into his upcoming game Deadrop.

The community is divided, with some eagerly anticipating the experience of owning valuable digital assets and others remaining skeptical about the concept and its potential impact on the gaming industry. One user lamented:

"NFT/blockchain gaming? I thought you were better than that. Was looking forward to your game, should’ve known better when you dropped exclusive NFT tokens for it."

What did DrDisrespect say about in-game "digital collectibles"?

DrDisrespect presented the idea of someone attempting to extract with a valuable item worth $100,000 on the blockchain, drawing attention to the potential entertainment value for both players and viewers alike. He also teased the emergence of a new PvP experience from this concept. He wrote:

"Imagine trying to ‘extract’ with an item you discovered worth $100,000 on the chain. Think about entertainment value as a viewer let alone player."

Critics of the streamer called the idea a scam, questioning the value of digital assets and the practicality of implementing a blockchain-based system in a game. However, DrDisrespect hit back at such claims, hinting that he is simply exploring new possibilities within the gaming industry:

"The concept of digital collectibles in an online game is so exciting to me. Especially an extraction type of game. People saying scam and ‘ugh’ are just brain dead headline followers. Same people that spend a ton on skins for an annual release game. Same skins everyone has too."

In response to questions about the functionality of digital collectible assets worth $100,000 that he teased on Twitter, the streamer explained that they could have practical applications across different games and platforms without any time limitations.

"Multiple game/platform functionality. Imagine having a digital collectible that has functionality in a completely different game that comes out 7 years later."
