Didn't know the Chinese Communist Party made games.

The actual official English name of the Chinese party is Communist Party of China (CPC)

I knew I should have googled it.

But if I call them that, people will think I'm talking about the Conservative Party of Canada (who also go by CPC).

I thought we were done with blockchain techbroism and had moved on to LLM techbroism. Did nobody inform Iceland?

As best I can guess, it looks like they're just throwing the word blockchain in there so that a16z will hand them $40m in funding.

I'm amazed there are still people out there who consider blockchain a positive buzzword.

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

There aren't. a16z are a crypto company. They're almost certainly tying the funding to CCP putting the word blockchain in there in the hopes of tricking people into thinking there's still some life in this dead horse they're flogging.

To be fair, in the time it took for it to gain mainstream attention and and lose it, is not enough time for AAA games to be made.

What does this have to do with the Chinese Communist Party?

The Vampire mmo died for this.
