The NFT conflict in the game industry broke out: a bunch of companies drew the line on the same day

A strange thing happened in the game industry: a group of developers suddenly lined up to express their views on cutting off NFTs.

First, a studio publicly condemned the NFT plan of Team17, the developer of "Bug of War", and terminated the partnership. This move received 100,000 likes from netizens.

Subsequent announcements by the two game companies that pledged to never set foot in NFTs also received a lot of likes, including the developers of "Hacked Kitchen".

Under pressure, the condemned Team17 finally announced the abandonment of the NFT plan.

We listened to team members, partners and the gaming community and decided to exit the NFT space.

Not only these small companies, but even the CEO of gaming giant EA also expressed his wait-and-see and hesitation about NFTs in the latest conference call.

I believe that collectibles will continue to be an important part of the gaming experience. But whether it needs to be part of the NFT blockchain remains to be seen.

You know, the same CEO said on the last conference call that "NFTs and blockchain games are the future of the industry".

NFTs are non-fungible tokens, and some game companies hope to introduce this technology to allow players to buy and sell game items on the blockchain.

In recent months, investment in blockchain-native games and NFT-related game companies has increased significantly, and traditional game companies such as Ubisoft, SE, and Capcom have also begun to deploy.

Why did the fragrant pastry suddenly stop fragrant overnight?

Players go crazy
Unlike the blockchain-native gaming community, players in the traditional gaming community will burn their anger at any gaming company that wants to get involved in NFTs.

This time, within 24 hours of announcing the NFT plan, Team17, the developer of "Worms of War", was scolded by players and partners and had to cancel it.

Netizens also started a new hashtag #TeamNoNFT# to focus on expressing their dissatisfaction.

Counting further back, the Ukrainian developers of the Stalker series insisted on a shorter period of time, scrapping plans for a new title after just 90 minutes.

In addition to game companies, game voice actors want to engage in NFT, and players do not agree.

Troy Baker, a motion capture dubbing brother who has appeared in many masterpieces such as "Bioshock Infinite" and "The Last Survivor", announced half a month ago that he will cooperate with VoiceVerseNFT to explore a new project of voice NFT.

He also said misleading words like "you can choose to hate, or you can choose to create".
