“People might be buying it because they enjoy the artwork or because they are excited about what the community is building, I'm not sure.”īut despite all the talk of playable games justifying the money flying around, not everyone is buying it.

“People are free to build the future they want on top of it since it is an open ecosystem/metaverse,” added Tarrence. Artists are already using the gear lists as inspiration to create their own drug dealing NFT characters, and the community is building a Dope Wars app where users can purchase loot and maybe, one day, play a game. Dope Wars already has a big community, with nearly 5,000 members on Discord. If one thing is for sure, it's that it’s popular. I think the community is working on various games on top of it.”

“People minted it for free and for fun without any expectations of the future. One of the developers behind Dope Wars, who in typical crypto fashion uses the pseudonym Tarrence, told Motherboard that the whole thing is an experiment and a fully-functioning game won’t necessarily follow-but it is possible. Those who want to get involved can hold Dope Wars Ethereum tokens ($DOPE) and then vote on what steps to take next.ĭespite all the chatter around a Dope Wars video game, and the project’s wiki itself teasing a game based on Drugwars, the future is uncertain.
A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) has also been created to fund future developments. Sound weird? People are interested: nearly $9 million has already been spent on Dope Wars NFTs in four days. Specifically, NFTs of text describing items that could be used in a game, like a drug dealer’s Gucci belt, Porsche, pocket knife, or the weed and coke she is about to sell.

The game has inspired plenty of spin-offs, and has made it as far as iPhone and Android apps. Think Grand Theft Auto with a hint of Uncut Gems but far more simplistic, as the game was created before pixelated guns could shoot at cops. The concept is that players rush around New York City to sell cocaine, heroin, weed, or speed in order to pay off a loan shark. Drugwars has become somewhat of a cult classic since its 1983 release, and experienced a 90s resurgence in which people would play it on calculators. On Wednesday, the Dope Wars account retweeted a call for “game builders and artists” to join the project’s Discord.ĭope Wars is based on the idea of Drugwars-a very basic video game about drug dealing originally for MS-DOS.
Now, the question is: Where is all of this going, and will there ever be an actual game at the center of the Loot craze?Ī perfect example of this tension is Dope Wars, a Loot offshoot that has teased one day being a fully-functional game. The phrase “metaverse” is being thrown around. The project has since inspired a whole ecosystem of projects for example, Lootmart developers are creating an RPG-like interface to “equip” Loot. Loot took off, and the initially free lists of adventuring items started reselling for big bucks-one was flogged for nearly a million dollars.
