There are many big game publishers that are very interested in the blockchain and how it can be used in video games. All companies like Square Enix, Ubisoft and Sega are looking closely at NFT and cryptocurrencies in games, and even Nintendo is keeping an eye on the chaotic NFT market.
With interest from Nintendo, perhaps it’s unsurprising that former Chairman Reggie Fils-Aime is also a “believer in blockchain,” and so far, we’ll suggest implementing NFTs in the next iteration of Animal Crossing.
As well as the original one, Anxie Infinity is a Classic Exempl. Whats To Come For NFT Games?
In a presentation at the SXSW event last month, Fils-Aime asked to discuss blockchain, crypto, and play-to-play games.
“So I believe in blockchain,” replied Fils-Aime. “I think it’s really a compelling technology.” I believe that we play to own in video games; I say that as a player, I may have invested 50 hours, 100 hours, or 300 hours in the game, so when I am ready to move onto something else, it wouldn’t be great to monetize what I built? I want to make money from my Animal Crossing island from the latest Nintendo Switch version. I would have been able to do this using the blockchain.
While this might sound like Fils-Aime is a ty-yo crypto, he acknowledged the problems with NFTs and crypto, adding that developers should focus on creating a more consumer-friendly blockchain game.
“Now I say that needs to have a sense for the player.” It is not just that it is interesting or that it’s a way for developers to invest more money, said Fils-Aime. “On the end, it needs to be good for the players, but I see an opportunity.”
Lucky for Fils-Aime, Climate Replay released a developer guide that will not only make blockchain games more consumer friendly, but also better for the environment.
