In January 12th, to celebrate Castlevania's 35th anniversary, Konami put in auction several memorial NFTs of Castelvania images, artwork and animations.

Spoiler: How much money do you think an NFT of any of these is worth?

I think NFTs are a very appropriate way to celebrate the anniversary of a series inspired by a blood-sucking vampire.

Literally doing nothing at all would've been a less offensive "celebration" from Konami.

Or they could’ve made a new game to celebrate its 35th anniversary

Konami is now deader than dead.

Are... are they actually selling this exact image? Please tell me "no". By all that is good and holy, please tell me "no".

Aw, c'mon. Isn't their pachinko department already overworked?

...oh, wait, you meant an actual video game. Ha ha ha ha. Oh, man, that's a good one!

WHAT IS AN NFT? A MISERABLE PILE OF JPEGS!

I didn't have any expectations and yet I'm still disappointed with Konami.

Seriously, why is anyone paying money for JPEGS?

Nasty Fucking Things!

Its even better then a jpeg. When you buy an nft you are buying an nft, not the image that sold you the nft. You are buying the address in a database.

If I wanted to buy a memorial to Castlevania, I'd buy a fucking copy of the game.

The answer is no. The image just the screenshot of the animation.

They aren't paying for the JPEGS; they are paying for the NFTs (which are fancy digital receipts that can be resold for a higher value). NFTs are a combo of speculative derivatives and digital bragging rights.

Well technically I did once when I commissioned someone to create me a custom signature image for a different forum. Somehow this feels different to that.

Best description I've heard for an NFT is that it's basically buying a certificate of authenticity for an object you don't actually own.

These are better memorials!

Every company that adopts this scam should be boycotted.

Literally zero dollars.

We can probably bankrupt Konami by right-clicking and saving these pictures.

 

[Silvanus]

An appropriate and respectful memorial for Castlevania would be for Konami to go out of business.
