In a recent survey, it was found that of the 2,700 game developers sampled, 70% of them had no interest in NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
Over the past few years, the names blockchain and NFT have become increasingly popular, yet also controversial. Not only in terms of the financial industry but also in the gaming where big names like Square Enix and Konami have tried to jump on to the NFT trend with their own products.
But not everyone in the industry wants NFTs in their games. The annual State Industry Report at The Game Developers Conference was officially released, they asked a total of 2,700 developers whether each of them was interested in NFT or not.
As a result, 70% said they were “not interested”, on the other hand, 21% said “somewhat interested”, 7% said “very interested”, and 1% said they had already started an NFT project for their game.
Generally speaking, these game developers are not interested in NFTs and their blockchain because they are prone to being scams involving ponzi schemes and money laundering due to the lack of regulation, not to mention being extremely bad for the environment.
An anonymous developer that took the survey spoke to VGC saying:
“Why do we need them? What benefit does it have putting these systems into our games? Who is using these things? It feels like a very small audience.
“And also, these technologies are still not using sustainable energy and are a target for money laundering. As a developer, I feel deeply uncomfortable that there is a push for these”.
However, some responses from the survey were more positive, saying that NFT will be adopted massively in the future and are good enough to sell digital goods and monetize systems.
For all their popularity, NFTs still remain a hot topic surrounding a lot of debate. As of right now, while there are NFT games from smaller crypto-focused studios, no mainstream developer has really shown how NFTs can complement gaming and how their functions can be used to truly benefit a game in a way that previous mechanics and DLC cannot (or at least in ways that don’t involve spending a large sum of money).
