For anyone that missed the initial news back in March -> https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/03/playtron-wants-to-go-way-wider-than-steam-with-a-gaming-os-for-core-casuals/
So, to everyone that was already kinda skeptical back then, congratulations, you were right.
I do remember, every single post I saw about it on here stated as much.

How horrible is it that 99% of any crypto project can be dismissed as harmful scams without even looking at it - and except for 1% they always turn out to be libertarian wet dreams/scams.
Unfortunately, these Capitalist Psychos uses the same techniques as ‘Scientology’ et al. and are increasingly hiding their true identity/incentives behind their shit project.
They are Capitalist scammers that have found a new revenue stream, and It IS incredible how far these people will go just to protect their initial investment - no matter who’s scammed bco it.
Any examples of the 1%? Outside of a few cryptocurrencies, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a project self-identified as “crypto” that wasn’t a con
Eh… tbh, I didn’t expect to be called out on that one. Perhaps I exaggerated a bit, but in theory, statistically and all… Well, maybe not then, sorry…
I wasn’t calling out anyone on anything! I’m perfectly aware “1%” was a hyperbole, but I’m genuinely curious about crypto projects that aren’t snake oil.
I like blockchain technology but putting it everywhere is getting out of control.
I would be surprised if this ever sees a physical release, or even gets past the “concept render” phase.
As DOA as it can get.
I wonder if they are fully stupid or if they just want to do this to win a specific contract that requires it, and then remove the crypto BS to cater to the broader audience.
for a “crypto powered” portable console
PlaytronOS wasn’t made for this device.
We that’s just great, they are gonna fail
If We have any luck they will sell the console at a loss to catch people and when it fails, maybe We can get cheap hacked and rooted consoles. ;-)
The article doesn’t mention anything on “crypto-powered”. Just that it will allow crypto-based games.
Won’t be surprised if crypto is more engraved into it since there are crypto based investors involved.
Maybe this will result in some really cheap hardware floating around when the whole thing goes bust.
Playtron isnt for this device, it just happens to be the first device that ships it
