The company is not the first to have started thinking about the sale of NFT, at the end of 2021 Ubisoft had presented its initiative, but the results obtained from this auction are record-breaking, especially given the hatred of many users towards this new type of market. One case is that of the video game developers STALKER 2, who had announced the start of an NFT campaign which was then canceled shortly thereafter.
