The topic of NFTs in video games has been buzzing a lot in recent months, to the point that several indie developers have even come out to speak out against them. EA, one of the largest companies in the industry, also has something to say about NFTs, although their answer could be much more surprising than we thought.
During the most recent financial report of EA, his CEO, Andrew Wilson, responded to shareholders who were inquiring about NFTs. This is what he had to say about it:
“Well we’ll see. The way we think about it is that we want to offer the best player experience possible. And that’s what we’re going to do – we’re going to evaluate it as time goes on. But right now, it’s not something we care about.”
Let’s remember that Ubisoft also wanted to start implementing NFTs in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and the community reaction was anything but positive. It is likely that EA has evaluated what happened with Ubisoft and they prefer to stay on the sidelines until they have a better idea of how to implement NFTs “properly”.
Publisher’s note: Well, at least the following EA games will not have NFTs, or so it is hoped. Considering we’re talking about EA, it sounds like they will eventually have the intention of implementing this practice in their games, especially things like FIFA.
