Just a heads up, people should be wary of playtron to a degree: the CEO is a guy named Kirt McMaster. Anyone from the Android enthusiast community may know him as the guy who convinced the creator of CyanogenMod to incorporate (becoming Cyngn) and then drove the company into the ground chasing skinning and theming revenue, and wouldn't even allow the community to keep the cyanogen brand (they had to rebrand it to LineageOS)
Kirt sucks. He's a terrible leader and a terrible businessperson. I'm sure there are plenty of great people involved in playtron but with him at the helm of the company I am not expecting it to end well
Also, the fact that they're backed by a bunch of web3/crypto companies is not great. They say they're not a web3 company, but it sounds like they're building UI and tools specifically for Sui wallet and crypto games and letting users opt-out of these "features".
I don't want to touch that with a 10-foot pole.
Here's hoping they build something useful that can be forked to work without the garbage.
You need to create an account to use the Playtron OS. That's a big no-no for me
Yup.
Only thing that managed to turn me off from this project more than the web3 crap was his involvement.
