FUD FAQ | A Weekly Community Thread | Week 1
Welcome to Week 1 of #FUDFAQ. A weekly community based thread where we cover top question of the week, most common repeat questions, top controversies for the industry and silly fails and trolling.
Top Question of the Week
• Did Modders save gaming?
In short, yes. The Modding ecosystem stands as the foundation for the gaming industry— it encourages strength in community building, leads to increased loyalty in gamers to the games they can mod, it guarantees continued gameplay, promotes third party value generation and injects vitality and novelty into the OG content and its meta-story with increased longevity of interesting content creation.
Most of the top tier games that you see today have only survived due to the vibrant modding ecosystem around them. In fact, many of them only reached mass scaling and reach because of the modders/mods. Some examples include; League of Legends, World of Warcraft, CS:GO, Minecraft, Roblox, Among Us, Fortnite, PUBG…..
And in response to those that have mixed opinions about modders or the modding ecosystem. Well, the answer is simple— an ethics debate is long overdue for how the legacy industry exploits creators of all kinds. New monetisation models provide a healthier way forward for all, including the OG game devs and AAA companies.
“Why you gatekeeping, bruh? You’re not the game police, let people play games the way they want! P layers need the ability to enjoy games the way they choose because honestly, life is TOO. SHORT. “
Here is a short thread with more thoughts:
Most Common Repeat Questions
• When is the MATIC-ETH Bridge ready?
Bridging NFTs from Layer 1 to Layer 2 and vice versa is not a simple engineering feat. It requires proper development time to cover all unit tests, edge cases, correctly map the metadata (Not just tokenID) and also accurately align the tokenIDs across the different networks i.e. TokenID 1 on Ethereum is not the same as TokenID 1 on Matic.
Our development team, in fact our whole team, works around the clock. But some things aren’t a quick slap together. They take time and we encountered more edge cases than expected. So we are making sure that these are properly accounted for before deploying the contracts, otherwise we are just creating technical debt and potential security vulnerabilities for all of our users interacting with the bridge.
• When is more details about PODE and the Fashionistas?
As we have stated in each of the two articles released so far, we will announce when actions need to be taken. As of yet, nothing of that sort has been announced. We are slowly introducing each part so that no one gets confused or left out. PODE also aligns with deployment of our new Matic staking contracts going live soon, and therefore, we are coordinating PODE announcements with development updates on the new contracts.
• What happened with the pre-tournament ESPA competition results?
I have received a number of postings in the discord about the pre-tournament ESPA competition that was announced mid February and then winners decided and publicly announced in our ESPA discord around 2 weeks ago. All winners were personally dm’ed on discord and were given their prizes. Some prizes were more custom than others, taking into account that some winners are still new to crypto and it is better to ease them into the industry because onboarding experiences for fiat and web2 to crypto and web3 remain highly daunting for the everyday user.
Top Controversies in the Industry
I think most of us have heard of this one, it’s been all over Twitter. But for a quick recap, Lil Nas X had a throwdown with Easter.
