Some games take a surprising turn, leading players to believe they’re the hero only to reveal they’re actually the villain. While not always perfectly fitting that mold, the games below are full of unexpected twists that might still surprise players years later.
Aptos, poor dear, is not a victim of technological inadequacy-heaven forbid! Its woes stem from a tokenomic structure so ill-conceived it could only have been devised by a committee of well-meaning but utterly clueless aristocrats. A total supply of 1.18 billion APT? Preposterous! A circulating supply of 733 million? Absurd! Monthly unlocks of 11.3 million tokens? A veritable flood of sell pressure, enough to make even the most stoic investor reach for the smelling salts. Novemberâs unlock, timed with the precision of a badly choreographed waltz, coincided with yet another precipitous dump. đşđ¨

The mod had been around for years without any issues, and honestly, it had become a huge part of how a lot of us enjoyed the game. Basically, Mare Synchronos let you customize how your character and gear looked â really get into the aesthetic â and then share those custom designs with other mod users. It was super popular, so when it suddenly disappeared, everyone was pretty bummed.
The paper reveals that the global âstablecoinâ market cap has ballooned past $300 billion. And, hold on to your hats, a whopping 97% of these tokens are just dollar-clones sent from space. This singular dominance by only-it-feels-like-United-Stablecoin Nation, with heroes like Tetherâs USDT and Circleâs USDC waving the dollar flag, is enough to make you question your high school trigonometry teacherâs motives. USDT, perched at $1.00026, boasts a market cap circa $185.3 billion as of December 4, 2025. USDC, the hotshot at $0.9999, flashes a market cap near $78.0 billion and, for good measure, a daily trade volume over $11.0 billion.
