Well done, almost everyone!
In a new interview, Ubisoft’s blockchain boys have said people “don’t get it”.
They started out with a line of numbered hats and guns in Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
Amidst platitudes like “players are always right.
Because they are our players, and we love them.
And so, they’re always right”, they explained why they think their players are wrong.
But what we [at Ubisoft] are seeing first is the end game.
So, it’s really, for them.
It’s really beneficial.
But they don’t get it for now.
“Also, this is part of a paradigm shift in gaming.
Moving from one economic system to another is not easy to handle.
We know that.”
Genevois mentioned that only 2500 of Breakpoint’s free NFTs were claimed in the first fortnight.
It’ll require special types of game design.
Yes, I know about selling hats I don’t want.
I know aboutvolatile speculative marketsbuilt upon artifical scarcity, andillegal gamblingtoo.
This can drive prices up to ridiculous levels, especially in games where NFT objects aren’t just cosmetic.
Fingers crossed more big developers start to feel embarrassment over being associated with them.
