(But it was specifically touted as one of the reasons they used blockchain technology, as stated in the main body of the article. Hence why I included it.) Tag: 2017 source edit |
(This is still an off-hand remark about the tech, not the game itself and the reporter stating her opinion. If it were a direct reason why the game itself has encountered problems, then it'd be worth mentioning. Also, the article has been removed so replacing link with an archive.) Tag: 2017 source edit |

Worlds Apart was a Doctor Who-themed digital trading card game launched in open beta in 2022 on PC, made by Reality+.[1]
Limited edition packs with five cards began being distributed in October, 2020, which, once sold out, were not available for purchase again. As with physical card games, cards come in a variety of rarities and will feature a variety of creatures and characters from the history of the series. Distinct from most games, the developers decided to distinguish between the cosmetic aspects of the item, a card frame, and the actual card itself, and these things are customizable and sold separately.[2] In order to insure that there were no disputes over who owned what game pieces, Reality Gaming Group decided to implement blockchain technology for use in this game.[1][3]
After the October wave of releases, players were able to acquire more cards in sets.[4] The game went into early access alpha in December 2021[5] and open beta in October 2022.[6]
Notes
- A small controversy developed over the game using art for the game developed by another artist without originally crediting or paying them for this work.[7]
