The future is bright … the future is Blockchain.
Taken from Engadget … Blockchain features in games haven’t met with the warmest reception so far, but they just got the support of a major publisher. Square Enix President Yosuke Matsuda has published a New Year’s letter indicating that decentralized games using technologies like blockchain will be a “major strategic theme” for the company from 2022 onward. Matsuda didn’t name titles, but he did hint at how future releases would incorporate the distributed technology.
The company would incorporate token economies to foster “self-sustaining game growth,” Matsuda said. While the leader understood many people would be skeptical, he believed at least some gamers wanted to “play to contribute.” Blockchain games theoretically provide a direct incentive to those players to build their own content instead of relying on “goodwill and volunteer spirit.” The suggestion, at least, is that users would make items in part to earn rewards.
