Reading the press release sounded like a late April Fools joke, but I think we all saw where Playtron were heading. After originally announcing PlaytronOS (now GameOS), their Linux-powered gaming system, they're now directly moving into crypto.

    Highest effort rugpull attempt. Just create a coin called good investment coin and pay an influencer to promote it. So much easier than trying to get the Linux community to buy into this.

    while enabling consumer incentives only possible via programmable dollars.

    The fuck do I need incentives for, just make a good game. Oh that’s right, these incentives aren’t for the consumers, they’re to take advantage of them.
