Happy, Decrypt‘s GG is completely over it. And if you need a quick way to get caught in the latest movements around crypto video games, we are happy to present in Crypto games this week.

Our weekend round serves the biggest news of the past week, along with a few other facts that you might have missed. We also present a few of our original stories of the week.

Biggest news

Deadrop Studio is closed: Seven months after controversial streamer Dr. lack of respect was started from his own game studio for alleged misconduct with a minor, Dead Game -Developer Midnight Society confirmed on Thursday that it is to block.

“Today we announce that Midnight Society will close its doors after three incredible years, with a great team of more than 55 developers who contribute to our new IP -Deadrop,” the company wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Dr. Disrespect closed on Thursday during a live stream Midnight Society and claimed that the situation was ‘extremely poorly treated by leadership’, adding that they did not investigate his alleged misconduct properly. Quinn Delhoyo, one of the co-founders of the studio, earlier told Decrypt That the streamer was fired after a series of phone calls in which he explained the situation.

GTA 6 meme coins: Unofficial Game Theft Auto-theme Meme Coins Keep overflowing to Solana, with a handful of new takes such as GTA 6 Coin and GTA Guy who are higher than a market capitalization of $ 1 million last week. However, success did not last too long, with most tokens crashing more than 90% of their peaks – extremely typical of meme coins.

These meme coins are not the only connection that the game has had with the world of Crypto. Rumors about a possible recording of in-game crypto rewards for players in the coming Grand Theft Auto 6, although not substantiated, has been circulating since at least 2021. Rumors became louder In 2024 when it was speculated Bitcoin And Ethereum Would play a role in the game – although this was re -confirmed by an official source.

Only time will learn whether GTA 6 will contain crypto in one way or another. But if a game is large enough to push crypto gaming to the masses, this would be the enormously expected Grand Theft Auto 6.

Farm Frens Slam Ton: Telegram game Farm Frens delayed his fren token airdrop on the Base low-2 Network up to some time in February, with reference to important route map adjustments as a result of “unreasonable deadlinesFrom Telegram and The open network (Ton).

In a message on X, the game claimed to have placed “hard-handed limitations” on mini-app developers after the recent announcement that all Telegram-Mini apps with crypto integrations should have Only use Ton. The Frens Team farm said that there was “no earlier warning,” and closed the movement as to the ethos of decentralization and censorship resistance – the number of tonnes of ‘the closed network’.

The AirDrop of Farm Frens will still take place on the base, and the developers said that the game will not miss in-game crypto integrations in the first instance because of the Ton exclusivity pact.
