MECHA WORLD
Lucrative Gaming has announced the release of their second game, Mecha World. Just don't ask me which was the first. Nothing is known about the release date of the game yet, but first of all, the presale should go through. The first mechs will be made in the style of dogs, which will have empty slots for additional items. details. Parts improve the performance of mechs and increase the reward for quests.
The project has no backers and the project is on wax. Wax periodically pleases with unusual indie P2E projects. For fans of games on WAX, the project may well seem worthy.
ANIMOCA BRANDS ACQUIRES EDEN GAMES
Animoka continue to buy companies. Looks like someone got access to artmoney in real life. This time around, Animoca Brands has acquired Eden Games, a racing game developer who developed the V-Rally and Need For Speed: Porsche franchises for EA.
How much the deal cost has yet to be disclosed. The French studio will continue to develop in the motorsport genre, said David Nadal, one of the co-founders and part-time head of the Eden Games studio. And it looks like it could affect the development of REVV Motorsport...
ONE FORK, TWO FORK…
Perhaps you have already fully experienced the wave of hype around Stepn, which we have repeatedly mentioned. If not, congratulations - you're in the tank. A mobile lifestyle app with two-legged game elements flies into your smartphones to provide an opportunity to earn money on jogging and walking with NFT sneakers and make you lose calories at least a little.
The project recently bolstered its confidence with a partnership with Asics. And Stepn just recently joined the ranks of the hot twenty on the CGP website.
And it is not surprising that forks appear on the wave of success. And we found one such, which will soon have a SHO on DAOMaker. Step app is already available on Android and IOS systems, and of course you can use it from your browser.
ANIMOCA BRANDS INVESTS AGAIN
Oh that Animoca...
Animoca Brands has agreed to acquire a 70% stake in French gaming company Darewise Entertainment, which is currently developing the online game Life Beyond. Benjamin Charbit and Samuel Kahn, founders of Darewise, will continue to run the company.
Animoca Brands led the funding round for Legends of Elumia, along with Alameda Research and Cryptology AG. In this case, it is worth mentioning the backers of the project who took part in the funding round - Spartan Group, Kyros Ventures, Infinity Ventures Crypto and others. Legends of Elumia is an online open-world game with its own metaverse in the MMORPG genre. An alpha version should be released in Q2 2022.
$2 BILLION TO THE METAUNIVERSE
Epic Games (the developer of Fortnite) managed to attract such an amount to create their own metaverse.
The investors were Sony and the investment company KIRKBI, owned by the family of Lego founder Kirk Christiansen.
There is even a rumor about the likely use of cryptocurrency and P2E mechanics in the new project.
47,5%!
В article information appeared from CNBC that META (an organization banned in the Russian Federation). Wants to charge a 47,5% commission on NFT sales (includes 30% Meta Quest Store + 17,5% Horizon Worlds).
IMPORTANT! Documents or official statements indicating the reliability of these data have not yet been found! But the news has already spread and perhaps we will see the comments.
47 his mother and a half percent! It's almost HALF! BUT NOT !#!@#&&#@?
For comparison, OpenSea takes 2,5%, but it is clear that the comparison is irrelevant. But then again, what was considered a robbery earlier in 30% of Apple or Roblox is getting new colors. Even if Zuk lowers the fee to 30% and slightly loosens the noose, it will still be the same crazy 30%.
Do you need such WEB 3, or rather WEB 2.5?
Zuck seems to want to create a digital state where the user agreement is the constitution and the fee is the tax. And we are all its slaves.

1. Starbucks announces big plans for the metaverse
Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, at the Open Forum in Manchester announced the start of the widespread use of the metaverse and NFTs in the company's marketing strategy. He promised to launch the main projects in 2022.
Schultz asked the 15th audience of the conferencehow many people know about NFTs or have ever bought them. Silence hung in the hall (this was a business forum, not crypto). After a pause, the Starbucks CEO said:
“Of the companies, brands and celebrities who are trying to create NFT projects, few have the same rich history as Starbucks. I mean both collectibles and the legacy of the company.”
One can only speculate about the scale of what Starbucks is up to. The company was founded in 1971 and is now valued at $96.7 billion. You can buy dozens of branded souvenirs in every coffee shop. If the company respects the blockchain culture and finds the right meanings, we can expect another major participant in the crypto market by the end of the year.
2. Paris Hilton handbag from the release of the Grammys was released in the form of an NFT. Why is it interesting?
The prestigious Grammy Awards were recently held. Such events are a great opportunity for stylists to show their skills. For crypto-influencer Paris Hilton, they created a handbag in the form of a martini glass, decorated with Swarovski crystals. The main feature of the accessory is the presence of a digital NFT version.
The bag was designed by Peter Dundas, former head designer at Cavalli and founder of his own brand. He develops the direction of Phygital, creating things both in physical and digital form. At the end of March, Peter took part in a fashion week in the Decentraland metaverse, and he also collaborates with the Ukrainian digital clothing store DressX. It was on this platform that the designer released NFT handbagcopying the original from the Grammys.
The price of the token is 0.043 ETH ($130). NFT Buyer receives a digital bag (you can take photos with it in augmented reality mode - AR) and 2 entries to the autumn show of the Dundas brand in New York. In total, we created 5 handbags, you can still have time!
For many fans, digital versions of famous brand clothing can be much more accessible than real ones. People are attracted by the environmental friendliness of products and the absence of harmful costs. Buying a digital version, you do not need to go to the store and waste extra time.
In our personal feeling, digital clothing is becoming a global trend, we advise you to pay attention to this fast-growing industry. It gives the opportunity to develop in fashion much faster than in the physical world. There is no need to waste time on the meaningless stages of entering the snobbish circle of “ours”. All you need is a computer, a crypto wallet and a fantasy.
3. In Yakutia began to sell live deer through NFT
The cost of the token is 17000 rubles. The new owner will provide food for the animal, give it a name and follow its life online. Project organizers sure: By buying reindeer, you can make a personal contribution to the sustainable development of the North. The purchase became possible after the Eskimo community was provided with free satellite Internet in 2021. This happened as part of the Kyndykan expedition. Prior to this, a place in the Far North was cut off from civilization. Technically, this is easy to implement - animal chipping has been used for a long time. Having an individual chip, you can transfer its data to an NFT token.
Similar projects show that NFTs are much more than just pictures or a way to sell digital art. Technology can be perfectly connected to the real world. The market for the sale of real estate in the form of NFTs is actively developing; you can also order, for example, repairs or freelance services.
4. Popular Mexican delivery service started accepting cryptocurrencies
The Rappi application in test mode added the ability to pay for orders with cryptocurrencies. The app is wildly popular in Latin America, and the new feature is available in Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia. Sebastian Mejia, co-founder of the company, stated in the announcement: “At the first stage, our users will be able to connect their crypto wallets to convert cryptocurrencies into local currency and pay for all products with it.”
Latin America is one of the most active regions in terms of crypto adoption. 75% of local investors choose cryptocurrencies as assets.
Similar initiatives are pushing the blockchain to the masses no worse than NFTs and metaverses. Millions of new potential users can appear just because of one application! The next step should be corporations like Apple and Samsung. It is they who will make cryptocurrencies mass, and NFTs and the metaverses will not be toys for geeks, but popular means of buying goods and communicating.
5. Absolut vodka comes to the metaverse
Swedish brand Absolut decided to celebrate its 10th anniversary event in the metaverse The opening of Absolutland was combined with the Coachella music and arts festival, which will be held from April 15 to 17 in California.
Their office in the metaverse was designed as a 3-story cube with a huge transparent bottle of vodka instead of one of the walls. On the 1st floor there is a bar and speakers with music, on the upper floors there are sofas and dance floors.
There are nice gifts at the party:
- fashionable digital clothes;
- 10 unique prizes (NFT, discount coupons, prizes);
- 2 passes at Coachella.
The requirement for participants is the age of 21 years.
Absolut's advertising campaign does not seem empty and ill-conceived. Alcobrand, represented in 126 countries, and the most popular festival, which has been held since 1999, have made a collaboration with cool prizes and an interesting quest. The building has enough space for several hundred visitors, they listen to pleasant music and communicate. I would like to tell my friends about this.
6.Infinite Reality buys cyber team ReKT
ReKT is known for its successful esports teams Team Rogue and London Royal Ravens.
Metaverse Infinite Reality has agreed to acquire esports giant ReKT Global for $470 million in an equity deal, bolstering Infinite's plan to expand its offerings, the company announced on Tuesday.
With the acquisition, Infinite said it is looking to add ReKT's entertainment and esports business to its existing platform, which spans social, gaming, virtual and remote production, non-fungible token (NFT) minting, content, and metaverse creation.
The deal is based on Infinite Reality's equity valuation of $2 billion, with a post-closing cumulative valuation of $2,47 billion. Infinite Reality plans to go public as a result of SPAC's merger with Universal Security Instruments (UUU).
Infinite was formed from the merger between social e-commerce platform Display Social, entertainment company Thunder Studios, and creator of the Infinite metaverse Metaverse.
"The synergy between our combined business units, from content creation to Web 3 entertainment, APIs and more, is awe inspiring," said Infinite CEO John Acunto.
ReKT is known for its esports teams such as Team Rogue and London Loyal Ravens. According to the ReKT website, Rogue has won 14 world titles and 23 major championships. Celebrity DJ, Steve Aoki, is one of ReKT's investors.
7. The Sticky app was kicked out of the AppStore
Sticky is an NFT marketplace app that lasted a few months on the iOS App Store before it was recently thrown out. Apple's approach to Web3 and new NFT applications has not been linear.
The term Non-Fungible Token is poorly defined by several platforms, including sticky. Apple told Sticky that this is because they are misleading with the term "NFT". In response, Sticky felt that it was not given enough time to make the appropriate changes.

Digital collectibles on the Sticky platform are mined on a public blockchain run by the company.
