🌓Half Moons

- Rocket League sparks controversy by ending in-game item trading on December 5, limiting players' control over their assets, prompting backlash and calls for a boycott, challenging the closed gaming ecosystem, contrasting the potential of NFTs to ensure true ownership and cross-game interoperability, with some comparing it to Valve's recent ban on high-value in-game items in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. 🚗⚽ #RocketLeagueControversy #NFTDebate

- StrayShot game teams up with NBA stars LaMelo and Lonzo Ball, plus Big Baller Brand, turning the famous family into playable NFT characters sporting military-style outfits and BBB-branded attire; the game, set for full release in February 2024, uses Ethereum scaling network SKALE for blockchain transactions, recording in-game items as NFTs with a chance to win and trade, and will feature a Ball family NFT release outside the game.

🔭The Scope

Rocket League…is this…goodbye?

⚪ Total Eclipse

Fun fact - the longest-standing video game score in history stood for 27 years! The high score of 41,336,440 was set on ‘Asteroids’ by a teenage boy in 1982. His score was beat in 2010, by John McAllister, who achieved 41,338,740. It took him three sleepless days and nights to become the new top scorer.
