NFT Anyone? 70% of Game Devs NOT Interested – Survey Says

BY JC Paredes • 4 years AGO • 2 MIN READ

More than 2,700 game developers were surveyed on today’s most hotly debated topics and their outlook for the future as part of the Game Developers Conference’s annual report. Other questions included NFTs (non-fungible tokens); a contentious technology that a number of major gaming businesses are currently using or even adopting into their projects.

GDC’s evaluation of developers shows that they aren’t interested in adding NFT into their activities at this time.

  • 70% claim they are not interested in incorporating this content into their games.
  • 21% say they are slightly interested; 7% are extremely interested.
  • Only 1% of those polled said they were already working with NFT, and that number is expected to rise.

How about Cryptocurrencies?

  • 72% that they have no interest in integrating cryptocurrency as a means of payment in their games.
  • 21% stated that they were slightly interested.
  • 6% of those polled expressed strong interest in this payment mechanism; 1% said they were already utilizing it in their projects.

While some poll respondents believe that NFTs will have a significant impact on the future of video games, others point to environmental harm and risky schemes as major drawbacks. An accompanying study also collected these results.

Even though a portion of the gaming industry is eager to move forward in this direction (such as Steam or Microsoft), some firms have also expressed their disapproval and even others have had to back down after introducing them.

Since March 2021, I've worn two hats at Spiel Times: a writer and a Managing Editor. In my writing role, I've earned recognition from Wikipedia and Nev Schulman (Catfish TV Show host) for my insightful analysis and engaging narrative style. I'm passionate about all things gaming, with a keen eye for detail and a knack for uncovering hidden secrets within games. My gaming journey began at a young age, captivated by titles like Resident Evil and Tomb Raider. Today, I enjoy exploring open-world RPGs and MMORPGs, consumed by their lore and crafting theories about their narratives. I'm also drawn to the suspenseful atmosphere of horror games and the intricate narratives of crime-themed titles, bringing a unique perspective to my writing. Beyond gaming, I have a fascination with anything unexplained and chilling, a passion that often spills over into my exploration of horror games. When I'm not engrossed in a virtual world, you can find me curled up and spending time with my adorable doggy sidekick, Teemo. As Managing Editor, I'm committed to fostering a collaborative and supportive environment for our writing team. I communicate openly with my team members, addressing any content-related issues and providing guidance to help them excel.
