DreamWorld (YC W21) MMO raises all red flags
The fact this made it past ANY cursory inspection at YC is kind of... hilarious?There's a good video[1] breaking down just how ridiculous this entire venture is. They have absolutely ZERO background in game development, yet are claiming to be making the biggest MMO ever attempted (with a team of 2), using a revolutionary peer-to-peer meshed (infinite!) game world, with every single game genre merged together.It's probably the single most blatant gaming-related fundraiser scam I've personally come across... but they got YC backing.All their videos are just assets from the store, thrown together using open world youtube tutorials, and long-winded posts filled with every buzz-word and game-dev fantasy you can think of. The video is really worth a watch if you want to see just how ridiculous this is, especially the latter half breaking down their technical claims.[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGQZfAbsQ6I
