From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

SuiPlay0X1 runs Playtron's device-agnostic gaming operating system, enabling gamers to play both Web3 and Web2 games across PC and mobile.

GamesBeat have some more details, noting it will have "native Sui blockchain integration via zkLogin and Sui Kiosk SDKs, enabling asset ownership directly connected to a device’s account system for the first time in the gaming industry

What is a web3 game? Something that allows you to grind for NFTs?

TF2 hats but on a block chain instead of an inventory system.

Pros:

In theory you can still sell the item as a collectible even if the game dies (I doubt in practice though)
In theory it makes it possible for other games to use the same items to make stuff in their games (I doubt this in practice)

Cons:

it's a fucking block chain

I've heard this before, but there's literally nothing preventing games from setting up some shared items on their own without NFTs. Nobody does it because companies want to keep their IP, and worrying about external items would be a nightmare to balance.

NFTs solve like 1% of the problem of sharing items. So much more goes into making them actually work. For example: NFT id 5551337 is owned by the player: now what? How do you figure out what 3d model to render? What actions can you perform? How does it integrate with other systems? All of that is going to have to be custom for every game involved on a per-item basis.

Yes, like all things block chains do there are obviously alternatives to accomplish the same thing.

Ah but you see, you need the blockchain version in order to be, uh... [checks notes] computationally intensive and bad for the environment...?
