Game Developers Conference survey: 70% video game developers are not ready to implement NFTs – Bits Media

Two thirds of game developers are not interested in collectible tokens, survey results say, held by the organizers of the Game Developers conference.

Organizers of Game Developers Conference (GDC) conducted a survey among 2 700 game developers. It turned out, what do you have 70% респондентов полностью отсутствует интерес к NFT, 21% участников опроса уделяют им незначительное внимание, 7% проявляют сильное любопытство и лишь 1% answered, which is already working on creating its own non-fungible tokens.

To the question, can game studios use digital assets as a payment instrument?, 72% developers responded negatively. They do not intend to use cryptocurrencies to pay for goods and in-game items. 21% developers are only somewhat interested, 6% expressed their readiness to study this issue in more detail, And nothing 1% studios are already using crypto assets.

The authors of the GDC study noted, that some developers called collectible tokens the future of the gaming industry. However, the vast majority of respondents opposed the appearance of NFTs in it due to the high risk of fraud and the emergence of financial pyramids, problems with monetization and possible negative impact on the environment.

Some game creators believe, that introducing NFTs into games will not bring any benefit, since tokens will not be in demand among players. According to these developers, collectible tokens reach too small an audience. Many game developers are completely sure, that NFTs fuel people's greed for more money. These people read stories about cryptocurrency millionaires and don't know, that “NFTs can actually be volatile and look highly unethical”.

Major developers have already started developing blockchain-based games using NFTs. In December, the French company Ubisoft launched in test mode the Ubisoft Quartz platform for trading and exchanging collectible tokens, which will be used in game projects. However, last week video game publisher Sega said, that will not implement NFTs, if gamers don't like this idea.
