The Olympics has moved on from Mario and Sonic - Lemmy.zip

TL;DR: to NFTs and eSports

players are able to claim an “officially licensed, commemorative Paris 2024 NFT Digital Pin.”

Oh sweet an official Olympics digital pin that I can pay real money for and no one else can just view for free whenever they want! Oh wait… Here’s one someone paid $200 for.

I like how it’s a digital picture of a physical pin, so it still has the bits in the back as if anyone can just put it on their lapel or backpack.
Yeah I can’t help think the design and calling it a pin is all just a trick to scan people who don’t know what an NFT is.
