>The internet is alive with rumors that Cooking Mama: Cookstar contains hidden cryptocurrency/blockchain capabilities that are causing the Switch to overheat. This is absolutely incorrect.
>At Planet Entertainment, we explored both blockchain technology and cryptocurrency tokens.
>We looked at these options as a means to allow players to trade in-game assets. However, we only explored the theory behind the concept, not the implementation. Cooking Mama: Cookstar, nor any of our other titles in the past or near future will utilize crypto technology.
This just leaves more questions than answers. Even if they did that, why was the game removed from the Nintendo Eshop?
> Having to worry about whether your Nintendo console is actually a bot for some chink game dev's bitcoin mining swarm while it's running a cooking simulator
This is one hell of a timeline, lads

Everything about this is weird. What the fuck is up with the supposed PS4 release? Why is it being made by a completely different dev team? Why are some of the music tracks just ripped from YouTube? What's up with the dev studio located in some dude's house in Rural Conneticut? Why do the character profiles have names in the files? Are they the dev team?
>why was the game removed from the Nintendo Eshop? Because it released too early
Parker Johnson
>our games in the past
nigga you mean the ones office create made? what in the remote fuck happened to the IP and who are these cunts getting in my way of doing even better than mama
Ayden James
>mention the word "Blockchain" in any context >Twitards start screeching about viruses and secret Bitcoin miners
>allow players to trade in-game assets What does this mean?
Dylan Morgan
>at planet entertainment we explored both blockchain technology and cryptocurrency tokens
why does this even need to be said? who in their right fucking mind would even acknowledge that? just saying that makes people ten times more suspicious than simply 'these are baseless rumors and accusations'. admitting that they "EXPLORED" the "TECHNOLOGY" is nothing but a net loss with how purposefully vague and confusing the message is.
its just baseless rumors that needs a firm, no nonsense dismisal and an explanation for why it was removed from the store. these guys PR department is fucking dick and balls. hire me.

They used blockchain to gain investors. It's so weird. >“Gaming is a $135 billion dollar industry with little opportunity to invest outside of the large public game publishers. We are using blockchain to add new innovative gameplay that investors can now have equity in,” said Steve Grossman, President of Planet Digital Partners. “Putting aspects of Cooking Mama on-chain will take the user experience to a whole new level, reinvigorate a popular game franchise that many grew up with and give investors an opportunity to make handsome returns, through a digital preferred share offering.

Brayden Jackson

YOU FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT GOOKS.
Matthew Thompson
but it was some shitposter on Yas Forums who started it for shits and giggles, Tweddit is regurgitating it
Parker Hughes
New Cooking Mama game was taken off the Eshop for some reason and people started making up rumors like a bad creepypasta.
Landon Bennett
>give investors an opportunity to make handsome returns, through a digital preferred share offering if this isn't a fancy way to say bitcoin mining I don't know what is
Colton Butler
Not their fault cryptoshit is only used for scamming people and stealing their CPU time.
WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY CHOOSE FUCKING COOKING MAMA AS THEIR IP TO INTRODUCE THIS SHIT IN? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT FUCKING MIND SAT IN A BOARD ROOM AND SAID 'YEAH, THOSE BIGWIG INVESTORS WILL GO ABOSLUTELY FUCKING APESHIT FOR SOME COOKINGMAMA BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY'? WHO? DOES MISTER STEVE FUCKING GROSSMAN GENUINELY BELIEVE THAT SOME BILLIONARE IS GOING TO DUMP CASH INTO MAMACOIN? FOR WHAT? DO THEY THINK TWENTY YEARS FROM NOW IM GOING TO BE BUYING COOKING MAMAS PREMIUM BUTTER WITH MY MINED COINS I SPENT HALF MY FUCKING ELECTRIC BILL ON? DO THEY GENUINELY BELIEVE THAT EVEN IF SOMEONE DIDNT SAY 'HEY THIS IS RETARDED' THAT THEY WOULD ACTUALLY GET 'HANDSOME RETURNS'? EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOGGLES THE MIND. AN INTELLECTUAL BLACK HOLE OF BEWILDERMENT. FUCK.
Lincoln Green
>At Planet Entertainment, we explored both blockchain technology and cryptocurrency tokens. >We looked at these options as a means to allow players to trade in-game assets. why the fuck would you tweet something like this? is the pr guy fucking retarded?
Dominic Scott
just take a look at the cooking mama audience and you have your answer
Cameron Perez
The way they describe shit is awkward as all fuck >We used cryptocurrency tokens to allow players to trade in-game assets What does that mean exactly? None of this should be anywhere near a Cooking Mama game.
Wyatt Nguyen
who?
Hunter Lewis
Women
Nicholas Taylor
Because "blockchain" was the latest "it's teh future" buzzword that every "startup" parroted to scam dumb investors out of money.
Lucas Miller
The Sky in Skyrim is real
Thomas Mitchell
oh wow women are really playing cooking instead of actually doing it?
Matthew Rivera
Specifically cryptocurrency. Like why would you ever consider it and why on earth would you ever admit to considering it? Unless they meant "allow purchasing in-game content with a cryptocurrency" it reeks of bitcoin miner type bullshit.
Anthony Bennett
>Mama listened to Yas Forums, bought high and sold low >now has to whore herself out to investors in order to keep her house
Oliver Wood
I'm tired as fuck, but basically what I'm getting out of this is >Investors invest more in game >Game gets more funding, thus ends up being better >Game quietly mines in the background, mining maybe unlocks in-game items for the players to think they're getting something? >Investors get a cut of the mining >This is a win for everyone according to the company
>thought of adding blockchain trading to a game for literal children come on now, suspect as fuck
Carter Parker
>maybe unlocks in-game items for the players to think they're getting something? It wouldn't at all surprise me if they treat some aspects of the game like the MP upgrades in MGSV.
>HEY MAMA! >WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A NEW AND SHARPER KNIFE TO HELP YOU CUT VEGGIES FASTER!? >JUST BUY A NEW ONE FOR $1.99 OR JUST CUT VEGGIES FOR 5 HOURS STRAIGHT TO GET IT FOR FREE!!* >*By playing the game, you consent to letting our investors mine bitcoins using your switch and internet connection
Gavin Cook
even if we ignore all the other skectchy shit around it it's still fucking insane that they'd put blockchain on a console game in general and especially a fucking cooking mama game
I honestly don't even think this is a mining scheme, but there's something fucky going on with it.
Lucas Gray
Do they even own the rights to Mama? All of this shit either reeks of incompetense or fruad.
buzz words, and because it would solve item duping, hacking, and piracy
Jayden Rogers
ESEA put a miner in their client one time and websites mine coins all the time
Jaxson Brooks
this game attracts the most braindead drooling retards I have ever seen who actually shit their pants and fall asleep while grinding the same minigame 1,400 times to unlock enough gems or coins to buy something. Its like their entire brain goes dead and their hands just keep making the same movements and button presses to finish the game for them. >these are the kinds of NPC nutcases that admit to "going autopilot" at work
Thomas Torres
This whole situation is a mess but the fact that it's Cooking Mama of all games just adds to the hilarity.
John Hill
Keep saying it.
Justin Kelly
If they want out blockchain technology as drm solution they shouldn't start with children game on console for luddites. What a moron.
Jaxon Reed
Are people really this fucking retarded or do you genuinely not understand what block chain is?
And for the record they're talking about regular old microtransactions you brainlet.
