NFT Holders Sue Art Gallery Over Metaverse Promise

According to Cointelegraph, a group of NFT holders has filed a lawsuit against Eden Gallery, alleging that the gallery failed to deliver on its promise of creating a metaverse-based private club for NFT holders. The collection, known as Meta Eagle Club, raised approximately $13 million from the sale of 12,000 NFTs. The plaintiffs claim that despite updates from the team suggesting progress, no significant efforts were made to develop the Meta Eagle Club. Additionally, the lawsuit asserts that the individuals responsible for the project lacked experience in blockchain development. In related news, gaming continues to serve as a testing ground for new technologies, including NFTs. Christian Thompson, Chief Information Security Officer at Mysten Labs, discussed the role of gaming in technological exploration during the Future Blockchain Summit in Dubai. Thompson highlighted that gaming acts as a sandbox for developers to experiment with Web3 technologies such as artificial intelligence and NFTs, facilitating innovation and development. Furthermore, the Web3 game 'Off The Grid,' a third-person shooter, has gained significant traction, topping the free-to-play games chart on the Epic Games store. The game, which features Web3 elements built on an Avalanche subnet called GUNZ, allows players to mint NFTs and use them as in-game items. This integration enables players to trade these items in secondary markets and maintain control over their in-game assets.
