As [*PC Gamer* reports](), the biggest difference between regular Doom and NFT Doom is that, instead of shooting the hellish monsters that populate the original, players take screenshots of Bored Ape-esque primates and, in turn, rack up as much in-game money as possible. https://twitter.com/idTechpics/status/1471986450719809537 For those blessed enough to not understand most of the aforementioned NFT-y terminology, here's a primer. The game's villains are a take on NFTs, a blockchain technology that purports to let a person own a digital asset, like an image. NFT Doom seems to be a particular dig at the Bored Ape Yacht Club, a collective in which users gain clout by spending what can amount to [hundreds of thousand of dollars]() — or the crypto equivalent, at least — on pictures of near-identical computer-generated apes. They're then able to re-sell their apes for even-higher sums of money, which is how art that looks like extras in the back of a Gorillaz music video came to be [overvalued at such preposterous levels](). Among NFT enthusiasts — and in particular Bored Ape purchasers — is the concept that right-click-saving or screenshotting an NFT, you're actually stealing it. It's pretty deranged, and they even have a name for it: the "[right-clicker mentality]()," which has become parlance for people who, like the creator of NFT Doom, enjoy trolling NFT stans. Released on December 15 by a game developer who goes by "Ultra Boi," this Doom mod begs the question: when will anti-NFT trolling go from being kind of funny, like this game, to absolutely cringe? With the way [things are accelerating]() in the [wacky world of NFTs](), our guess is that making fun of NFTs will be too stupid to be laughed at by 2022. **READ MORE:** [Right-click and tear through this Doom NFT mod]() \[*PC Gamer*\] **More on NFTs:** [*Someone’s Selling Shockingly Racist NFTs of George Floyd*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
