Game of Thrones NFTs Draw Mixed Reactions on Crypto Twitter
The highly anticipated debut of the Game of Thrones NFT has already achieved its maximum capacity and is completely sold out, despite the fact that there have been delays and criticisms that it lacks “creative vision.”
The official “Game of Thrones” NFT collection, which was given the name “Build Your Realm,” was completely drained of all of its available inventory after just seven hours of its release yesterday on Nifty’s NFT marketplace.
The collection was given the name “Build Your Realm.”
It was probably not difficult to foresee the high degree of demand for these collectibles due to the general attractiveness of the event (and its new spinoff series “House of the Dragon“).
On the other hand, many people are now commenting that the quality of the artwork in the collection is equivalent to the eighth season of the HBO series, which is a big letdown for those who were anticipating a significant improvement.
Nifty’s and Daz 3D, a digital production company, collaborated on the first series of the collection in order to produce non-fungible tokens. Daz 3D was responsible for the creation and construction of the tokens.
November was the month that saw the first public disclosure of the project (NFTs). Each non-fungible token (NFT) that is mined on the Palm blockchain, which is an Ethereum-compatible sidechain developed solely for NFTs, contains several elements from the universe of “Game of Thrones.” Palm is a blockchain designed exclusively for NFTs. This enables collectors to create their very own one-of-a-kind places and avatars by employing NFTs in the construction process.
The NFTs were made available for distribution through a presale of 3,450 Hero Boxes, which was then followed by a general sale of 1,500 Hero Boxes four hours later. In all, 6,050 Hero Boxes were purchased through both of these sales. Each Hero Box may be purchased for a total cost of $150 (or about 0.11 ETH), and in addition to three Story Cards and nine Resource Cards, it includes one Hero Avatar.
The launch of the NFT has been met with criticism for two distinct reasons: difficulties with the mint, and derision directed at the embarrassingly terrible avatar designs. Both of these issues have contributed to the controversy that has surrounded the launch.
Reproducing mistakes and satirizing existing works of art
As a result of the congestion, Nifty’s released an announcement indicating that it had “paused the line temporarily,” assuring consumers that they will either receive a refund for their purchase or see it emerge in the near future.
According to the account of one user on Twitter, after waiting for one hour, they found out that they still had to wait another two and a half hours before they could mint. Another individual stated that by the time that they had gotten their NFTs, the floor price had already gone down.
The lowest price at which an NFT that is a part of a collection may be obtained immediately is referred to as the floor price of the collection.
It is not particularly typical for issues to develop with minting and delivery when a project is first introduced; despite this, the most prevalent criticism is over the avatars’ outward look, namely the hands, which are portrayed as being unrealistic.
“This Game of Thrones NFT collection is just like the last season of the program,” Justin Taylor is quoted as saying in one of his articles. “There is absolutely no creative vision, and the situation is terrible.”
Loopify, a nickname used by the co-founder of the Web3 gaming project Treeverse, referred to the collection as “the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.” He said this in reference to the collection. In addition to that, he included an illustration of an avatar with very bizarre hands.
Despite the criticism that has been thrown towards the roasting, some people have pointed out that there is still a chance that it will be beneficial for collectors.
