Because it is set in the future. It's been like that in the scripts I've gotten since before the pandemic IIRC.
I honestly don't get why someone so pretentious would accept a gig as the writer of a comic book tie-in for a cartoon based on a game series about funny animals. Did he really expect Sega and Archie to be receptive of him shoehorning convoluted storylines, Christ allegories and tacky Holocaust references in Sonic? He got lucky that they didn't care enough about the Knuckles comic to closely supervise it.
Remember, it's very important to Penders that you understand he is a progressive feminist crusader for environmental justice and artist rights.
Of course Penders would sell NFTs. Penders reminds me of the most recent South Park special where in the bad future Butters ended up being a scummy NFT salesman who just bullshits people and leaves chaos in his wake.
"I have people that will be angry with me no matter what I do on my back. What should I do?" "I know! I'll invite more people that will be angry with me no matter what I do!"
Oh lordie, it's taken him 5 years to announce and not release an app. 10 years to produce 10 pages. He's not going to sell NFT's! By the time he figures out how to make 1, anyone who was born on the day he announced his comic will be sat in a retirement home watching their great grandchild come for a visit.
I'm still dying laughing over the fact that we predicted this happening on the Discord exactly a month ago.
It sucks that I'm not even more angry or disappointed in him to be honest. This man has already hit rock bottom for me so...this is just ken penders being ken penders I guess.
