Since I occasionally get likes on my Fer,al art, I felt like I had to make a post about the current situation. Wildworks, the company behind Animal Jam and Fer,al, has been using Fer,al for 2 whole years to make a block-chain and NFT based game called Cinder. they are reusing all the assents of Fer,al. Cinder will be released next year while Fer,al is still currently in BETA.

I cannot support this and will therefore put my fer,al characters on hold until they've been redesigned and assigned to another universe. I will no longer be playing this game. more of my thoughts under the cut

Edit: Sorry, I wrote this post in a blind rage and messed up NFT as UFT KFLJADSKLFDSJA

Edit 2: Here is a Toyhou.se forum post explaining more coherently what happened

I am absolutely livid. At first when I discovered they were making a game based around NFTs I was like.... upset, made a post about it, and waited for updates... while also just kind of lurking in the discord for all the tea. But then the more I learned about the AMA, wildwork's past and.... saw on the actual CINDER site they've been using OUR MONEY AND EXPERIENCES to TEST their NFT game, I started losing it.

Brother when I was 13 I LITERALLY only played Animal Jam to find all the animal facts and like... learn about animal conservation. then after that was done I was no longer interested in the game. And now I'm finding out the SAME company used MY money to... build THIS?

And the responses of the mods literally are so insane too. the fucking MENTAL GYMNASTICS they do to JUSTIFY the choice they've made. it's insane....! I mean, take a look at all of this.

"you use discord and have lights in your house, therefore a little bit of NFT here and there is ok." That's like saying my GRANDMA is to blame for NFTs... and she doesn't even own a COMPUTER.

"We've listened to in-game feedback a bunch before, we can't comply to every request!" KING, IDK HOW TO TELL YOU THIS, BUT THIS HAS A LARGER IMPACT THAN SOME GAME BUGS.

and then the last one speaks for itself. absolutely bonkers. I'm so fucking livid... I don't even have words for how used I feel and how poorly the staff handles this. This was the first game I felt comfortable enough for to pay for a season pass and other in game things....

I'm simply... at a loss. I'm so glad the community is largely on the same boat as I am... so I hope Cinder flops. but this is absolutely disgusting.

Truly, the most devoted avatars of The Vast are NFTbros <3 The vastness of their stupidity is truly something to be admired.

There are monkey pictures that are worth more than your kidneys.

(I only have one kidney, and also NFTs are dumb and make no sense)

[writing-fanfics-in-my-mind]

Oh my fucking god all of y'all need to stfu about NFTs. They don't care how ugly their randomly generated lions are. They don't care if you can right click and save. If you saved it on your phone you still can't sell it. That's what it's all about to them. It's the new stock. The new shares to hold or whatever, you get what i'm saying. It's just a new wallstreet, and i get where they're coming from, wallstreet can go fuck itself to hell and beyond. But the joke about NFTs is that they think these "Artworks" (🤢) have any reselling value whatsoever. They probably believe that there is, or will be, an actual marketplace, simmilar to wallstreet, where instead of buying and selling stocks, it's the result of some loser pressing 'randomize' on Picrew a bunch of times that's being bought. Any kind of argument about what NFTs do to the environment will zipp right past them, because they're the kind of people that would sell their lungs if it meant that they could serve as Elon Musks toilet paper holder. And any Crypto Bro that claims that it's helping artists is so high off of copium it's basically part of their DNA. So the next time you see a crypto bro save yourself the headache, please. Don't try to debate them, don't try to make them face reality. It's a fruitless endeavor. Just point, laugh, and move on. And if you ever feel dumb or bad about yourself remember: People actually fell for an NFT scam called Monkey Jizz. Just. Let that sink in.
