Minecraft wants to ban NFTs from its platform

 


Certain NFTs have been available in the classic game Minecraft for some time now. That should be over soon. An official blog post from the iconic sandbox game reveals that it is looking to ditch NFTs on the platform.


The official rationale: "NFTs do not include the entire community and create a scenario of the haves and have-nots." The "speculative pricing" and "investment mentality" associated with NFTs divert focus from the game and encourage "profit making." This is not “incompatible” with the long-term joy and success of the players. It continues: "We are also concerned that some third-party NFTs are not reliable and could end up costing players money to buy them."


According to Statista , Minecraft is the most successful video game ever with a total of 238 million sales. Developed by the Swedish company Mojang Studios, the game has belonged to the software giant Microsoft since 2014. With the move, the acclaimed game could hit the collective nerve of the gaming scene.


Square Enix with NFT push

Almost no community is as polarized as the gaming scene when it comes to NFTs. While blockchain games such as Axie Infinity, Decentraland or The Sandbox dominate the gaming sector in terms of NFTs, more and more classic game developers, in contrast to Microsoft, are daring to take further steps in this direction.


Back in January this year , Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda discussed the potential of NFTs in the gaming sector . A few months later, Square Enix acknowledged its plans in this area in a financial report . They even wanted to check the implementation of their own token. So it comes as no surprise that the Japanese game manufacturer is now getting serious about its NFT plans.


Together with the blockchain project Enjin, Square Enix wants to launch corresponding NFTs on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the legendary game "Final Fantasy 7". A press release also states that the non-fungible tokens should be linked to physical trading cards. Enjin sits atop Polkadot and aims to build the Metaverse in a decentralized manner. The Final Fantasy collection is set to launch in 2023.


Where the spirits separate

It's still a mixed picture emerging in the gaming sector when it comes to NFTs. The French gaming giant Ubisoft has also tried to implement NFTs in its games in the past and received a violent shitstorm . On the other hand, there are more and more projects in this area that, like Square Enix, are immersing themselves in the crypto world.


NFTs seem to remain on the list of much-discussed topics in the gaming scene for the time being - even if opinions differ on this.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
