Vaporware is hardly a new phenomenon in the web3 space, but the Polium project is bringing it to new heights. They announced their product — a “multi-chain console for Web 3 Gaming” — with no extant console, no design for one, and no games for it.The website advertises specifications for an eventual console that contradict — it will be both 4K and 8K, for example — and promises to integrate Apple’s TouchID (despite the fact that Apple does not allow non-Apple products to use that technology). The product’s Medium page describes their plans to take pre-orders before the console hardware is built (good sign), and estimates a release date of Q3 2024.Polium has also gotten flak for its logo, which quite resembles the GameCube logo. Although they claimed in a tweet that “we did not copy the Nintendo’s GameCube logo”, they also promised to “illustrate a new logo that is original” — apparently acknowledging that theirs is not.
