PythagoRascal··on Reddit Founder Says 90% of Games Will Pay You to Play Them in 5 Years
The only way I see this working out, is if the game is actively mining crypto during play. But even then, why would big game companies leave that revenue on the table and give it to players?

I can see the crypto miners in games being a thing in the future, but at best players will receive a funky hat or a new gun once in a while for their efforts.

PythagoRascal··on FOVO: A new 3D rendering technique based on human vision

PythagoRascal··on G2A pays Factorio developer $40k over illegally obtained game keys
It's difficult because game-devs rely heavily on good reviews. Even if you revoke a key that you know for a fact has been stolen (or bought and charged back on CC), if it has been resold there is a very good chance that the new buyer will leave you a bad review. It's a lose-lose really.

"Yet Another Dumb F*ing Writing App" is the best I can come up with. Which, if I'm right, is not really helpful.

Something different, but I can also highly recommend "articulation copy (2)": https://twitter.com/mxsage

They make incredibly fascinating generative art and have also done some for Physarum-like systems: https://sagejenson.com/physarum
