Possibly introducing Crypto to Millions of new people with GTA 6

We all know how difficult it is to explain Crypto to outsiders and people who simply have no interest in it.

The majority in r/cc despised NFT's in 2021/2022 and didn't want to touch it with a six-foot pole, but than came Reddit with their genius idea of airdropping free Avatar NFT's, the amount of avatars minted and used outside of this sub alone is impressive to say the least.

Often alot of minds can be changed by giving away free stuff ( ofcourse everybody loves free stuff ), but the reach of Reddit is limited as a social media.

You might have heard about the rumors that 'Rockstar Gaming' and 'Take-Two Interactive' could integrate an in-game cryptocurrency into their new upcoming game: GTA VI (GTA 6).

Rumors are ranging from NFT's to adding Web3 components with also some people talking about implementing a Play-to-earn model into the Online missions. Also interestingly, the gaming studios executives have previously shared (link) an affinity for NFTs and Web3, which ofcourse has fueled even more speculations.

While everything seem like rumors yet, the whole idea doesn't seem so far fatched, GTA 6 offers a perfect opportunity to the developers to seize on the Metaverse hype. GTA 5 already offers players an opportunity to engage in huge array of activities, socialize and role play,

something that Zuckerberg ( fuck the Zuck ) has been hoping to accomplish in his amaturistic 'Metaverse' but with much better gameplay and graphics since 2013. ( almost 10 years since its release already! )

Let's see a comparison in graphics and quality:

ZUCKERBERG'S METAVERSE:

Metaverse (cringe)

The game’s predecessor, GTA V, is historically one of the most successful games in the industry, despite being a decade old, selling over 175 million units worldwide. However, players are looking for something new, and with GTA 6 likely to be coming out in 2024/2025, there is plenty to be announced yet.

Having played GTA V for years, I cannot wait to be able to play GTA VI, but having NFTs and Web3 intigrated into the game creating a much better Metaverse would possibly make it the biggest introduction of Crypto towards the masses.

Personally I am looking forward to this future, and if they can make this work, it will likely become the end of Zuckerberg's Metaverse.
