The debate surrounding the implementation of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and blockchain technology in games is getting increasingly hotter, following the huge backlash received by triple-A NFTs initiatives like Ubisoft Quartz, STALKER Metaverse, and Meta Worms. GSC Game World and Team17 eventually backed down, while Ubisoft is still moving forward with its blockchain plans (and so is Konami).

Meanwhile, even Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson made a u-turn on the topic. Three months ago he said NFTs would be the future of the games industry, whereas in the latest earnings call he downplayed their importance in the company's plans, likely as a result of all the negativity directed to the aforementioned initiatives.
