What do you all think about the GS wallet going bye bye? Curious to see some points of view on this. I believe it is due to the SEC trying to shut down the crypto space unless the have their hand in every step of it and gamestop doesn’t care to deal with that drama.

Why does a retail store need a crypto wallet in the first place? Just sell me games.

It’s to get ahead by combining (vertical integration) for future gaming. The promise was good but the web2 companies have made such enclosed ecosystems, it’s hard to match that competition.

First I had heard about this. What happens to our assets being held in that wallet currently?

Nothing happens to them. Wallet’s are an interface, nothing is stored there. Your assets are stored at that address on the blockchain. You can add your seed phrase to another self custodial Eth wallet like Metamask, or go through the steps to transfer any L1 assets to Loopring L2.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !metaverse@lemmy.whynotdrs.org

It’s unfortunate more how it was communicated rather than that it is happening, in my opinion. The marketplace is the killer app.

Glad you posted this, thank you!! I just don’t browse Reddit much anymore hence less stonk

I suppose I’ll be moving back to my Loopring wallet so as to preserve the layer 2 access and all that…. Need to get my IMX wallet separated as well I think?

Not loving this but I understand it

If it helps the company focus, then that is fine with me.

I don’t know any ‘gamers’ personally that have a positive opinion of NFTs so I doubt that the wallet going away will be noticed by GameStop’s main customer base.
