"It's something that, personally as a gamer, I've wanted for a long time, right? As soon as you start playing PC games, you're like, okay, I want something that gives me the full fidelity of experience with really great inputs that I can use in the mobile space. The first time, I think I wanted something like this was back in the 1990s, you know, when I was first playing PC games."

Gabe Newell is, I think it's fair to say, very excited about the Steam Deck. After a short delay and much, much excitement, the portable PC is finally here and it's quite possibly Valve's most exciting piece of hardware to date. Or the most exciting piece of Valve hardware since the last one, at least - the much-heralded Steam Machines which caused much excitement upon their announcement in 2013 but never really gained a foothold with Valve moved to assure people the platform wasn't entirely dead just three years after the machines came out in 2015.

Pitched as the ‘first AAA quality game of the NFT space,’ the play-to-earn open-world role-playing game can allow users to purchase NFT Pixelmon for astonishing prices. Recently, the developer launched a demo video of the game built on Unity Engine. A user cannot trade, battle, or capture any of the Pixelmon. However, they can purchase the Pixelmon and run around! The concept of the game sounds interesting and the monsters in the game are interactive NFTs. The project was launched in a Dutch auction starting at 3 ETH and was sold out in less than an hour. The project gained around $80 million in a span of an hour.  However, it soon became a laughing stock in the NFT space. Pixelmon’s 3D NFTs, according to the buyers, are atrocious. Purchasers have taken to Twitter to share their losses upon finding that their Pixelmons do not look good at all.   The NFT game’s founder Syber apologized to purchasers for their mistake. He explained that due to the enormous funding, the team was pushed to reveal the artwork that wasn’t ready. Syber assures purchasers that their team is pledging $2 million of the funds to redesign and remodel their NFTs with higher quality.  Early morning today, a Twitter handle by the name ‘zachxbt’ shared a tweet,  So @Pixelmon raised over $70m at 3 ETH per mint just for them to reveal like this. I think it’s fair to say all the buyers were rugged.

Video game digital distribution service, Steam’s founder Gabe Newell stated that they do not entertain NFTs and blockchain technology. In his opinion, these projects are “involved in a lot of criminal activity.” Pixelmon seems to be a good example of what Newell claimed.
