This is his Legacy
Peter Molyneux’s 22cans studio have sold around £40 million of NFTs for their “blockchain business simulator"Legacy, before it’s been released. The town management game has its own cryptocurrency, of course, and this weekend they sold NFTs of virtual land for real money. The hope for crypto land barons is that they would be able to earn money back from other players through in-game business partnerships.
“Owning a Land NFT allows you to start your own in-game blockchain business association in Legacy. You will be able to play Legacy, while earning and owning your gameplay,” explained Gala Games, the “blockchain game” company who 22cans are working with.
“Crucially, as a business association owner, you will have access to Legacy Keys. These items can be lent to other people who want to start an in-game business in Legacy, making them your in-game Business Partners. As part of your association, they will share a portion of their earned LegacyCoin with you.”
And though none of the game is even available to players, they’ve almost sold out of Land NFTs. All the plots of ‘Land’ sold so far combined went for the equivalent of over 14,000 Ethereum, or around £40.5 million in real money. The most expensive was a London plot, a limited edition of one at Ancient (artificial) rarity, which sold for the equivalent of about £670,000.
