Iranian Influencer Accidentally Reveals "Star City" NFT Collection is Just Screenshots of SimCity 2000
A viral moment unfolded when a prominent influencer’s live stream crashed their "Star City" metaverse launch, accidentally exposing a folder of pixelated screenshots labeled "SimCity 2000 – Final Build." The online community is now pointing out the irony: after months of hyping a futuristic, blockchain-powered utopia, the entire cityscape appears to be a 25-year-old video game running on a $5,000 render farm. Critics are calling it the most honest "futuristic" project of the year—because, let’s face it, no one actually wants to live in a city where the traffic glitches worse than a 1994 CD-ROM.
