The Witcher TV Series Needs A Map
21.12.2021

Well, damn, I guess it’s my turn to write about these dumb Ubisoft NFTs. The publisher’s first virtual items on the blockchain, unique numbered items for players of Ghost Recon Breakpoint, are not exactly in high demand. Nope, not even that helmet with the 600-hour playtime requirement.Read more
