What happened with ARK 2 and NFTs? Crypto currency in ARK?! Well I’m here to explain what happened based on the evidence I’ve found. NFTs will NOT be coming to ARK 1 or 2, however Snail Games has spoken about a new “metaverse” project coming Q1 2023. What does this mean for the ARK intellectual property, and how will fans respond?

Should I be scared?
If the Ark franchise dips it's toes into web3, it's done. I have almost 10k hours in Ark, and will drop the franchise as a whole like a hot rock the second any of this garbage enters the picture, as will 99% of the fanbase.
Like this new series I do
If Ark2 gets NFTs or a metaverse, I'm out. I hace 22.542 hours in the game, so I obviously love it and care for it. Learned a lot about Wildcard and their stands on p2w, so I'll support them. But I'm seriously out if snailgames does this. All I can do is to vote with my wallet. Maybe it won't matter as people who don't care will buy it, but it matters to me.
👆 – NЕW А DАТING FОR АLL ТАSТЕS & АGЕS ♂💌b✅
Dude, why does the guy that owns Ark look like your classic older creepy anime bad guy?
Put glasses on him, you all know what I mean.
the sad thnig is when they gop to that other thing the current players that disliek the pay to win consept, will leave and noone in the companies will care they will just try it and if it fails they will just killthe game, publishers and distributers, dont care.. the commuity has no real say in the matter.
I have over 5 years in ark and I may quit all of that if they pull this
Thanks for letting me be a part of this video Neddy!
So proud of Jesse and Jeremy for fighting to keep crypto shit out of Ark and Ark 2
Great work News reporter Ned! Let's hope wildcard is able to pull free and live up to their dream of 0 crypto and nft involvement. We as a community need to show our support to them while still displaying our disgust for the things we dislike without letting it allow us to be toxic towards the developers and other members of wildcard.
And at the end of the day, vote with your wallets. Don't support something you don't believe in.
if Snail games goes threw with NFT's I say we go Drag that Ceo out into the street & get some good old Mob Justice. NFT's are a cancer that needs to be cut out.
Probly should wait for more news on Ark2 before making predictions on Ark2.
great topics covered.
Nfts are like the irl corruption
They kill the environment
They start wars (this case online)
They make titans (this case company’s that make nfts) that spread the element
They corrupt others making creatures consumed by element corruption
They are seriously awful
Recently found this set of videos showing DMs of Shi Hai threatening/blackmail Jeremy Stieglitz as well as other things.

Absolutely 0 trust Wildcard wont do the absolute shittiest thing for Ark/Ark2
With over 9,000 hours in the game I was going to give Ark 2 a chance. I am not excited for the game. There is nothing that lures me to it. I’m working on my levels to say I leveled. After that I’m probably done with Ark. it’s been a fun 6 years though 🥹
9:01 Here is where I question the existence of the previously broken Bionic Skins. They're cheap, sure, but they are still microtransactions. And even worse, you couldn't use them for YEARS because even if you paid for them, they wouldn't appear in your inventory. Though they went on to fix the bug about a year ago iirc. I wonder if this was some sort of middle-ground to proposed mictotransactions- while I have no evidence to say so, nor to anything say against it, it's an interesting thought of mine.
Amazing video, keep up the great work dude!
The more they fight the black market the more it will flourish what are u suppose to do when megas have a 1290 giga to your shit giga there is no other choice then to buy a stud and raise your own
10:28 As someone who purchased PixARK for Xbox One years ago, I can tell you from personal experience that it's an awful game. Broken features are constantly apparent, the progression system is entirely fucked, the difficulty scaling is incredibly unfair, it's near abandoned by the devs (except for a strange community poll you should check out, retweeted by Snailgames iirc) and overall not enjoyable after the 1-hour mark. There was even a singular free DLC Map that took YEARS to get to console after it's original promised release date. At least Atlas Blackwood came to console in a timely manner. The entire project reeks of cashgrab banking on younger audiences, and its seemingly deserted at this point. It had pretty graphics and interesting ideas, but was pulled down by lack of proper implementation, obvious lack of playesting and developer support overall.
I am with WildCard don’t do this Snail or you will regret it. If Snail does go this way I hope WildCard will pull ARK from them to save the game that we all love and WildCard has worked so hard to create and make it mirco transaction free as much as possible.
Soulless cashgrab.. cant agree more with that. But we are in 2022, where money overrules any creative idea. Sure, some players will play any NFT powered crap, but the community will speak, the community will leave this game in the gutter where it should belong.
I had never haerd of this issue. Thanks for informing me!
WC has never done anything about RMT and never will. Devs make money off RMT. Not to mention only in the past two years have they actually started fixing Ark1. Ark 2 will fail. Snail games wants to ride on the back of Ark2 but will kill it in the process. Personal opinion.
Snail games is always so shady and dodgy it wouldn't surprise me if they try to still do something with nft. Love these new style report videos man
I wonder how many people know what nfts are and hate them vs those who know nothing about them and hopped on the hate bandwagon cuz others they know do. I don't see anyone in this video explaining what nfts are and why they're bad.
You hate to see it
If wildcard fought against snail games once, without the community, then I believe they have the firepower to do it again. This time though, they will have the entire Ark – and possibly even gaming – community on their side.
But if WC cave, and Ark 2 becomes an NFT scam metaverse trash heap, then they will have hell to pay.
I wish wildcard could detach from snail and be indie. Save ark.
So, the player base seems to be okay using the RMT market.. so why would they care if that market was instead ran by snail? That’s all we’re talking about here.
The currency changes to crypto and the owners of the market change but otherwise it would be the same.
Snail SHOULD get money off those transactions it’s their IP, so it makes sense to want to shut down this pirate market and do it themselves.
I don’t understand people getting upset about nfts when you consider, people are already spending literal billions on transactions.
What exactly is the difference if those transactions happen via crypto?
I love Ark but if this happens count me out
