This makes as much sense as a Happy Science marketing plan.

Everyone knows Gonzo peaked ages ago, but even taking that into consideration, this is seriously just pathetic.

On the plus side Gonzo has managed to redefine "rock bottom."

Some of that certainly looks like early 2000s Gonzo, but that isn't necessarily a good thing anymore.

I'm still wondering what this even is, though. They announced it in 2021, and in the three years since, the NFT/crypto market has seen the bottom fall out, and even big companies that were so certain it was the future quietly gave up on it. In that time, Gonzo has produced a PV for...something? If this is all some sort of weird way to just generate money to keep the doors open, then maybe it's time to call it and close shop.

Yeesh, that looks awful. NFTs have completely collapsed, so who are they hoping to cater to?

I hope Gonzo is Gone-zo after this.

This is the legacy Gonzo deserves.

Disgusting. I hope it tanks like nothing else before it so it becomes a lesson.

Remember when Gonzo made that pro environmentalist knockoff Ghibli movie?

As someone who doesn't have the bad judgement about NFTs and stuff, it's decent.

As long as the content isn't incorporated into the blockchain itself, an NFT will only ever be a glorified receipt for an url. And if the server hosting whatever is at the end of that link is ever unable to do that, like because company going under, you won't even have the digital equivalent of a paperweight left.

Though, the solution is surprisingly simple. Right-click and save Razz .
