More that it isn’t relevant to this discussion because in the hypothetical you’re still spending the same amount, just on electricity instead of the game cost.
And yes, because labor rights are a joke in this country. I’ve got bills to pay and mouths to feed.
Passing the “carbon credit” on to my employment is kinda outside of my hands, since that is dictated by my employer, which few are lucky enough to have a meaningful decision in. People also don’t work an extra amount that somehow corresponds to “waste money” but budget out the amount they earn.
As an idea, using crypto to offset the API costs to crypto and thus to electricity usage is wild because I’m still paying the same dollar amount, just in electricity that I have then wasted, and not directly on the game without all the middle man BS. So instead of paying for API + profit, I’m paying for electricity, which is then wasted generating crypto to pay for a game I could just pay for directly without the excess energy waste.

Given the comment I’m responding to, I felt it was appropriate.
I would pay good dollar money to be this stupid.
Do you think solar panels come from thin air? How is that going to do anything but offset renewable adoption?
Their advertisers are prolly salivating about it, if not behind it.
Maga are great for advertisers, low information & highly susceptible.
