Tim Sweeney, the CEO of Epic, once again reiterated his support for blockchain and NFT at gaming. After saying that NFT games were sold on the Epic Games store last year (and then followed that promise last month), Sweeney weighed in on the recent NFT ban by repeating the sentiments made months ago.

“Developers need to decide how to build their games and decide if they can, so they can decide the way they play them,” wrote Sweeney on Twitter. “I believe storekeepers and operating system makers shouldn’t interfere in letting other users rethink their views. We certainly won’t.”

Earlier this week, Minecraft banned the monetizing platform. They said they’re a monopoly, which is based on a lack of funding and extortion of resources. The developer, Mojang, said that such a thing can be said: “So much money is made for things that don’t exist in the game.”
He seems confused with this idea, rather than like the free market to decide whether NFTs are something that must exist. From the words he made last September, this is a significant change.
Like Minecraft, there were also a few rules for both sides of the game, but in a seemingly false attempt to keep away from Steam, Sweeney announced that the Epic Games Store would “welcome games that use blockchain technology.” That’s because of the constantly increasing number of outright scams that come to the table this time around seem to surpass legitimate blockchain-based games.
Sweeney also offered another interesting opinion that wasn’t a bit as linked to NFTs. A user noted that the Epic Games Store banned hateful and discriminatory content, and asked how is that different from a banned NFT? Sweeney replied to: “I think a lot of people have a dislike for this subject and are unable to accept any wrongdoing.”
“They’re all editorial and brand decisions. A store could decide to make no such judgments and host any legality, or for a standard as to draw the line, or accept only those games that conform to the owner’s personal beliefs.
