14 Indie Games We Can’t Wait To Play In 2023
As you might remember, this was during the boom of Certain Internet People and video game publishers deciding that the digital receipts for JPGs of cigar-smoking apes, terrible avatars, tweets andGhost Recon cosmeticswere worth thousands to millions of pounds, and sinking their life savings (or hoarded wealth) into paying for pictures that others couldhappily right-click and save to use as their own, if they really wanted to.
That phenomenon extended to Legacy, withover £40 million of actual, real moneygoing toward buying these “plots” of “land”. The most expensive plot sold was a limited-edition one-of-one London plot, which went for £670,000 in crypto.

Almost two years later, Legacy is now due to release on PC and Mac this October 26th. Gala Games’announcementreads like the breathless (read: vacuous) hype familiar to anyone subject to blockchain press releases over the years, promising that “Legacy’s launch is more than just a game release; it’s the beginning of an extraordinary journey where creativity, strategy, and business innovation meet”.

In fitting fashion, Legacy’s arrival follows a recent report thatthe vast majority of NFTs are now worthless, with 95% of more than 73,000 blockchain-based collections literally worth nothing.
Naturally, there’s always a cost somewhere. In this case, the researchers found that the energy used to create the NFTs studied used up the equivalent of more than 16,000 tons of carbon dioxide - equal to the combined yearly energy usage of more than 2,000 homes, 3,500 cars or 4,000 trips from London to New Zealand.
Anyway, Legacy’s out next month.
