- Alternate Title: I am in a Crypto Game
Ah, our old friends, the Epic Games Store. How I missed you. In today's #crypto and #nftgame deep dive, I accidentally uncovered a crypto game scam in progress. This game featured some of the most blatant copyright infringement I've ever seen, featuring copy/pasted open-source code, minus any attribution. Oopsies!
Luckily for them, we helped out by pushing an update to Vage Strike. Also, we banned them from their own game.
There are some other games in this video but they're really nothing more than speedbumps.
Thanks for watching!

18:54 I had an aneurysm over this steam locomotive. From what I can see: It's an Atlantic (4 leading wheels, 4 driving wheels, 2 trailing wheels) that looks like it's from the 1930's trying to pass itself off as a Ten-Wheeler (4 leading wheels, 6 driving wheels, no trailing wheels) from the 1880's. The handrails around the smokebox (the front) look like they took it off another locomotive and slapped it onto the design, the pilot at the front looks like a short skirt compared to a cow-catcher pilot that would be there.The smokestack looks like someone squashed an actual shotgun stack from a locomotive from the 1800's. The whole running board looks modern. There's pipes that go to nowhere. The air compressors don't look connected to anything. The headlight looks like an electric one-compared to the oil lamps that would actually be used. The domes look like they took if off a Baldwin-pattern from the early 1900's. The cab looks like it was actually made out of steel in real life but the devs made it look like wood. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE CYLINDERS LOOK ABSOLUTELY WRONG, THEY LOOK LIKE THE MOMENT THERE'S PRESSURE IN THEM, THE CYLINDERS CAPS SHOOT OFF BECAUSE YOU DESIGNED THEM THAT BAD IN THE FIRST PLACE.; WHY IS THERE A TUBE RUNNING FROM ONE CYLINDER TO THE OTHER, YOU DON'T NEED THAT, THE ONLY PLACES THE CYLINDERS ARE CONNECTED TO ARE THE CYLINDER SADDLE AND EXHAUST, AND BOTH OF THOSE THINGS AREN'T THAT. You can slow down the video and count the amount of times the wheels move. I fear what the inside of the cab looks like, because I can only imagine it looks as dogwater as the rest of that crypto game.
I wouldn't be surprised if the train is AI designed.

"Hash and slack" would actually be a good genre, make the whole game look like a drug-trip and not require much effort.
Alternatively it is still a hack and slash genre game but it’s story and gameplay is a parody of the genre and both highlights the strengths and problems of the genre overall. Both seem like fitting project to earn the title
i actually imagine "hash and slack" to be a corporate management game genre
plenty of games like this on play store lmao, darkness saga is one of them
@@hoodiegalIt's a psychological horror game about being high in a meeting at work and thinking everyone knows, when in fact, no one cares.
There’s a game out there that I’d consider to be a perfect fit for this description. Ever heard of Juice World? It’s a goddamn LSD trip of a game.
The fact that the Vagina Strike "developers" couldn't even be bothered to take screenshots themselves is fucking staggering. They couldn't even be bothered to remove the files that Steam puts there. It would've taken five, maybe ten minutes in total, and even that was too much work for them.
More like a single narrcisistic small time con artist. I doubt any of the other 5 portraits are even real.
They even were too lazy to host their own server and instead used ours. :D So hilarious!

Yeah, so slimy, so greedy.
I know right! it turns out people who rely on AI have no talent for anything, go figure.
@FunkiestChickenlawl as someone who watches a guy who streams alongside an ai(vedal) I can say there are a few exceptions, unless you are just talking "generative" ai. In which case yeah
That whole "You can transfer a pickaxe from Minecraft to use in Call of Duty" thing will never make economic sense because game companies would much rather sell you 2 NFTs (one for each game) because then they both get a sale, or if they're already under the same umbrella (in this case, Microsoft) and do want to be nice and sell you only 1, *they can already do this without an NFT*, and it'll cost them far less to do so.
I know that example is probably based on the absurdism of it, but I love the concept of a Minecraft Pickaxe in Call of Duty. How would that even work?
Would it be a fancy skin for the small knives? A special weapon that is basically that, but with more range and less strength? Or a weirdass tool that allows you to dig tunnels into the maps?
Because I assume cryptobros generally picture the last option when even the second feels unreasonable to expect
@@dr.archaeopteryx5512You import your favourite Elden Ring weapon into Call of Duty. It scales with faith and arcane. What does that even mean in the world of Call of Duty? It’s gibberish. Even just moving a gun between gun games doesn’t work because something that might be mid in one game would be useless in another and ridiculously overpowered in a different one. Even if they could somehow make it work, all it would do is ruin the balance of every game that did it.
@@robertlee2092 They're cryptobros, do you think they actually understand how games work? Even from a development standpoint even on the same engine you probably can't take a thing and slap into a different game without breaking something.
@@snil4 I’m not sure why you’re asking if crypto bros know how games work, most of them don’t even know how crypto works
"This would be *way* better for consumers" they all claim, blissfully unaware that that's the exact reason it will never happen. It's like they forget that they're not the only ones that will be able to screw other people over with NFTs, and big companies have been perfecting this art for decades.
Welcome to crypto games! We have:
-Lyra asset flips
-Games missing nearly every basic feature
-semi-competant games that literally don't need crypto integration
-stolen

@@Zanophane_Gaming That and from what I've seen, most crypto/NFT investors and venture capital tech"bro" types tend to see artists (or just about anyone with tangible skills and passion for things outside of "getting rich" and "fawning over fancy-sounding shiny new tech that might maybe possibly let YOU become the next Jefflon Zuckergates") as this evil "elite" cabal that run a dictatorship on creativity and crush people's dreams while at the same time acting like they're this soon-to-be-deleted middleman that'll have to get a REAL job once AI gits gud in "2 weeks time" (whatever they consider a "real" job is to them I suppose)

Here from Red Eclipse. Thank you for your help and happy to have you with us!

I miss red eclipse so much. I'm here cause I saw ppl talking about Jauwn in Red Eclipse's discussions.
@@muchotexto4248 I have never heard of Red Eclipse until now, but if I were to guess, probably some eldritch being capable of traversing parallel worlds and with incredible powers. But remained in that universe to protect it from the insidious replicryptors.
And occasionally partake in the fun death games.
I love how you completely destroyed those crypto bros.
And props for keeping a worthwhile game alive for that long. Will check it out, looks very promising.
I had never heard of red eclipse until the algorithm showing me this video for a CZcamsr I've never watched. But you can bet I'm now subscribed to said CZcamsr and going to check the game out!
I’ve never heard of Red Eclipse prior to this video, so in a weird roundabout way their game getting stolen by a bunch of grifters might’ve actually been a blessing in disguise.
This is maybe some of the best exposure the game could have gotten. Thousands of people just found it for the first time by chance.
imo it lines up pretty well with the valve 25th anniversary thing from a while back too. most people like free things, they buy half-life when it was free and get into first person shooters, and now they see a free first person shooter?
Don't forget to bend at the knees!
Im downloading the game the second I get access to my pc back
Like, this developer did something so funny, I am obliged to play
@@greasymcbeef exactly! me I'm going to play red eclipse as soon as possible.
I always loved Red Eclipse's HUD, it borrows the on-crosshair ammo counter from Goldeneye and the peripheral radar from Tremulous. Everything is engineered to let you lock your eyes firmly onto the center of the screen, without giving up readability of key information mid-combat.
16:18 Minor nitpick but Red Eclipse is using a very specific kind of Creative Commons license. CC BY-SA means that if I were to release Vage Strike, I'd have to 1. credit the original dev by linking the original project and 2. distribute Vage Strike under the same CC BY-SA license and since Quin didn't even know, clearly they never got permission to change that.

Nigeria is a rapidly emerging market, lots of people live there, and not all the businesses are regulated (at least effectively) and so you get more organised scams out of there.
I can’t think of any harder way to assert dominance over one’s own IP than bricking the stolen game and saying “hey check out our game”. Fuck filing a copyright take down, they were so lazy it wasn’t worth the time 😂.

3. I'd be happy to give back to the project *we* are working *together* on, but...

5:45 Worst than that, it's more expensive to purchase in bulk. For example, 100 gold is 0.99$, so how much should it be 40,000 gold (400 times the gold)?
400 x $0.99 = $396.00
But the store is charging $399.99 for the bulk purchase (in other words, overcharging $3.99 just for purchasing in bulk). I can't tell if it's intentional or if they are that incompetent at math...
The genre of person who likes crypto is almost always devoid of any creativity that it's shocking.
So they always have to exploit workers, or just steal another game.
It's because people who enjoy crypto only enjoy it because it will supposedly make them rich. They have the mentality of people who are rich with actual money without having that money.
They spit nonsense about freeing people from corrupt financial state-controlled systems, but show time and time again that they have plentiful amount of all traits that make that system corrupt. So all what cryptobro (and all libertatians in general) want is replace system with even worse one but with them on the top
I love how no crypto game allows you to use other crypto items from another game.
_Exactly this._ For ALL their talk and talk about "true digital ownership" allowing you to "use your stuff anywhere, this is the fUtUrE of gaming" ... even in the Crypto space, _as it exists, right now,_ no one is actually doing that! I wonder why! 😆

God damn, I did not expect to hear about GRIT, though I shouldn't be surprised. Some of the devs used to work in Uber Entertainment / Star Theory Games, including the president of the company himself.
When their first game, Monday Night Combat failed, they reworked it and released Super Monday NIght Combat... which failed as well. At some point, they even partnered with a crypto company and created an optional crypto miner that rewarded players with lootbox keys.
They went on to start a Kickstarter campaign for Planetary Annihilation, which met its funding goal... only for them to fail to deliver the game in a satisfactory state. They quickly started a new Kickstarter campaign for Human Resources while Planetary Annihilation was still in need of more development. The campaign was cancelled when it was clear the goal will not be reached.
When they announced GRIT, I just knew it would fail, simply because of the competition in the battle royale scene. The fact that they made it into a crypto game is just laughable. My only question is: did they plan this from the beginning or was this yet another desperate attempt at saving yet another failing project?
Dude WTF I used to love SMNC. That game fell off so hard so quickly. I had no idea they had anything to do with GRIT. Guess it doesn't surprise me that it was just a scam though
I LOVE RED ECLIPSE!! ONE OF MY CHILDHOOD GAMES (cuz it was one of 5 games that ran on my dogass linux pc lmao)

Isn't it interesting that all these crypto bros can't cobble together anything even half-way decent despite millions upon millions of dollars being thrown at them, but a bunch of bedroom devs working on a budget of literally $0 doing it just for fun made a game that's so much better than all of them that they just stole it.

Yayyyy! My favourite intro
Really glad that an actual game reccomendation could come out of you playing all this slop. Not to mention I have so much respect for the lead dev of red eclipse now for the funny solution to the Vage idiots
you know, as someone who has done programming, I absolutely hate the idea that "crypto would enable you to port items between games" because its just...no. I don't want to do that and I'm sure _no_ developer wants to. That's probably why even these crypto games are all reliably insular, why _would_ you go to that effort?! You wouldn't and its why basically none of them do.
Think Ninesquirrels made a video saying just this. Check it out!
As someone who has played video games that would either destroy game balance or be purely cosmetic and either way it's not a selling point. As someone who thought about this for two seconds you wouldn't need an nft to do that and an nft wouldn't make it better.
I don't have any programming experience but even the idea of "porting items" as these cryptobros think is just a complete pain if not impossible since wouldn't all these games running on their own code if not entirely different engines and the like? Then again, thse crypto bros care only the money and are more less just rig pullers and scammers.
@@Chinothebadyeah, it was always a nonsensical claim, made by people who had no idea what they were talking about, or assumed the people they were selling to wouldn't.
This probably ties into the "metaverse" hype bubble too. One of the few ways to make the promise of NFT in-game items plausible is if everyone's playing in the same overarching engine/codebase. Like, it's reasonably possible to port items & cosmetics across different Roblox games, though the devs of the individual games still get to decide what those items *do* - your +3 Broadsword of Extirpation isn't going to have the same stats in Adopt-a-Duck as it does in Violence Quest 6000 unless the devs want it to. And of course Roblox doesn't use NFTs to accomplish any of this because, why would they?
@@KSignalEingang one can bet they'd bank on the average Joe's inexperience in how programming and the like works in regards to the "porting items" since it's one of the few excuses they'd have in trying to shill out NFT's in gaming. But even the average Joe ain't gonna buy it. Especially with just a little knowledge in knowing you can't "port pickaxes" into a wholly different game and expect it to work like these NFT bros claim.
Also to say, modders do porting more realistically anyway than these NFT bros couls claim, at least in seeing how a game like Skyrim has mods using direct model rips from Dark Souls or someone porting a Spongebob model right into G-Mod.
"It looks like my clothes finally started rendering, thank god" sent me into a giggle fit. Love the snark, man, so glad I found this channel.
I used to play Red Eclipse back in 2011 on a crappy core 2 duo laptop, I easily have put hundreds of ours in it and can still remember the main theme perfectly. Thanks for making me remember this gem. I'm so glad it's still being supported by the devs.
Jauwn I'm currently sick(it's dengue), and very weak, I can barely walk or smile, but man, I love you you videos, they always make my day better, specially now that's being somewhat hard to go through the pain... thanks.
i hope you get better soon, dengue is no joke!!!
@@jauwn Thanks.
Take it easy & take your time. I hope you recover soon.
Good speed on your recovery mate.
You & Quin gave the Vage Strike "devs" the equivalent of the "Nuh uh uhhh. You didn't say the magic word" screen from Jurassic Park. Priceless. Keep up the great work Jauwn.
My first video of yours and I gotta say, the System Shock elevator Music is just fitting as an outro XD
So . I think I found a new game to play with Red Eclipse. Thanks Jauwn
That red eclipse part with the dev changing the code is AMAZING, great job on this one!
The way the Red Eclipse dev managed the whole situation "does chef's kiss motion" it was fantastic!
Oh man I played red eclipse with a friend NONSTOP like 12 or so years ago. Thanks for reminding me of it, I had no idea it was getting updated etc all this time, but the fucking MUSIC YOU HAD THERE BROUGHT BACK SO MUCH NOSTALGIA
Awesome video, especially the Red Eclipse saga was hilarious and vindicating.
Man, that's crazy. I played Red Eclipse YEARS ago on an old laptop as it was one of the few games that ran on that piece of junk. It took about 10 seconds of "gameplay" to recognize it. Great game, crazy that they just stole the source code and ran with it.
There are very few wins for open source developers, thank you for helping Red Eclipse! I downloaded the game to show my support!
Twice I have been fooled by the discord call sound-
Awesome vid! The fact you uncovered a stolen game is both surprising and not for crypto bros lol
Thank you for the Red Eclipse shoutout, one of the best games of all time, that is also available NATIVELY on a variety of operating systems. Not just Windows. It is a shame that that is a selling point, and not just the bare minimum expectation for games being developed decades later.
new marketing strat: steal your own game and shut it down
Man i love that intro theme.
If possible, never change. Pls
every once in a while because i like to make new ones, reusing the same old one is boring for me
@@jauwn oh you make originals? That's awesome! I'll enjoy the current one, waiting for a new to pop up all of the sudden.
@@IDBrunoMota yeah i make all the intros and everything about the video
@@jauwnyou should make a full version! Love the vibe of that track!
@@jauwn btw what are the lyrics? Could never figure it out by myself, but like to sing along anyway
As someone who focuses a lot on bg music and becomes interested in a lot of them. Thank you so much for putting them on the screen
Did not expect Yoshimi battles the pink robots to play at 18 minutes. Havent heard that song in years. great video Jauwn
To cryptobros, you're like what Karl Jobst is to videogame cheaters.
“Hello you absolute dipshits”
Except without the very weird uncomfortable background
Crypto games are the consequence of giving internet access to the 3rd world.
@@Materialist39 xDDDD
for some reason this made me absolutely wheeze imagining that in Karl Jobst’s voice.
How long until Billy Mitchell makes an NFT game and then tries to sue Jauwn for a negative review?
The coordination with the Red Eclipse devs is impeccable. You're doing good work Jauwn!
Dislocate: *uses open-source software but doesn’t credit creators (illegal)*
Also Dislocate: *uses the exact same servers as the original software (either scummy or illegal, or both)*
Red Eclipse: *edits their own software and servers to recognize these altered copies and change them (legal since it is their server and their software)*
Dislocate: *crying like babies*
10/10 Defacing a cryptogame and custom Jauwn-avatar. You guys rock! 😄
Holy fuck! I used to play Red Eclipse like a decade ago and had completely forgotten about it. I found it on the app store thingy on my old Ubuntu 12.04 laptop when I was 10. Good memories
"Look at those jiggle physics. They sure have their priorities straight."
Correct.
They had their tiny c0cks straight.
Is it wrong of me to want to work on one of these just so I can sneak in jiggle physics to the male character's groinal area?
@@bewilderbeestie Jiggle physics is never wrong. Unless somehow it is, but I wouldn’t admit it.

I was not ready for the Neutral Chao Garden theme.
Well played.
Going to a LAN party next month and I’m going to have to get the group to play Red Eclipse.
That sounds so fun
I remember having a blast even with bots, sadly my friends only play mainstream games.
It is like if all the cool parts of the latest CoDs was mixed with Quake Arena.
IIRC it's based on Sauerbraten which is based on Cube and all three are cromulent Quake-likes, though older. I used to play Sauerbraten a lot.
*Jawn appears*
"Shut it down.. Shut it down"
ITS THE BEAUTIFUL OLD JAUWN INTRO
oh wow... that yoshimi cover actually caught me off guard. thanks for reminding me of one of my favorite songs when i was a child
"Preemptively shut down their whole website just from seeing my face on their Discord"
That's how I knew this was going to be a good video
Every new development in the Red Eclipse/Vage Strike segment somehow got more ridiculous and hilarious than the last. Big round of applause to you and Quin for owning these cypto doofuses in the funniest way possible! I'm sure they will learn absolutely nothing from this.
21:17 hash and slack is really a perfect description of that game
So you better smoke that hashish and slack on the couch.
This is the first video of yours I'm watching and I swear, every time you hard cut to a new game my eyes instantly dash to the bottom right of the screen. 10/10 no notes
What’s in the bottom right
pushing an update to the stolen version that permanently bricks the entire thing is an amazing power move.
I just love it with these NFT games taking the Ls. Vague Strike certainly took a huge L today since they copied all of someone’s else work and tried to make it into an NFT game. Red Eclipse certainly handled it very well here, and shame on you Vague Strike. Shame on you.
Thank you! We always do our best! Thanks to @jauwn we could stop it right at the beginning.

If anyone buys into NFTs, Web 3.0 games, and Crypto at this point, they deserve to lose their money and time. There are so many examples of things going wrong in so many different ways that there's no excuse. I'm glad that folks like you exist, Jauwn. You show people the truth while still trying to be fair to them and that's awesome. It's Creators like you and Coffeezilla that keeps people willing to think critically from getting screwed over.
It's so obvious all these crypto-nerds care about is money. 0 passion for games as art or hell, even playing games. At least I get something when I play a gacha game or whatever. Crypto is just empty blank nothingness
100% true! When someone that does not know any better, like an elderly person and such is scammed i feel sympathy. When an NFT bro loses everything, i usually just laugh at them and feel pity towards those around that person that they damaged.
I've never been keen to blame the people who see a beacon of hope in the words of a grifter - desperation being the motivator. But laziness? Greed? Eeehhhhhhhh...
Yeeeaaah... "stupid people deserve to get scammed" will never be a good take. "Anyone willing to invest in crypto/NFTs is extremely greedy and lazy" is an egregious oversimplification and also falls apart.
@@dusaprukiyathan1613 They don't deserve to be scammed, but they really REALLY are asking for it.
I was talking to crdsf5 while this video was being made, its some quality content now that im watching it, thsanks man
The Vague Strike/Red Eclipse surprise was incredible. Great shit.
