* Gizmodo UK noted for their users that while the security of blockchain is often touted as a strength, it's still possible to steal items placed on the blockchain.<ref name="giz"></ref> | * The game used {{w|blockchain}} technology. In an interview on the matter, Reality Games co-founder [[Tony Pearce (CEO)|Tony Pearce]] explained, "We've built our own blockchains. It's a side chain. It's a fork off the Ethereum main blockchain. Whenever you buy a Doctor Who card, it's minted on a side chain as we have. So, there's no gas feeds. That's another issue. We will come onto that. It doesn't cost you anything to mint, and it's less energy than a visa card transaction."<ref name="LogoGeek">[https://logogeek.uk/podcast/introduction-to-nfts An Introduction to NFTs]</ref> | ||
** Due to the general public displaying significant pushback against blockchains, ''Worlds Apart'' intentionally downplayed its use of the technology. While discussing the blockchain, Pearce further explained that "it was a very conscious decision to make this mass market. We don't even mention NFTs or blockchain on the Doctor Who website, unless you dig into the FAQs and want to know about the tech... You can buy those cards from us in the following way: [PayPal, credit cards, crypto, and] we have our own loyalty token called Pandaks... Now, because they're NFTs, you need a wallet... When you sign up to ''Doctor Who: Worlds Apart'', when you put your email and username in, your password, that's all we ask for. We actually create you an Ethereum wallet without you even knowing. So, your account, when you go into account where your cards are after you bought them, that's actually in a real wallet with a 26 digit number. But, you don't need to know that."<ref name="LogoGeek"></ref> | |||
