Sega Admits Crypto Games ‘Aren’t Fun to Play’ A top executive at the gaming giant
Sega says “play to earn crypto games” are “no fun” to play, and could reel in its blockchain gaming ambitions. The firm has
previously explored the notion of using NFTs in gaming and has signed blockchain partnership
deals with a number of notable domestic crypto and gaming firms.
But, per Bloomberg and CoinPost,
Sega’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) Shuji Utsumi waded into the crypto gaming controversy, stating:
“The action in play-to-earn [P2E] games is boring. What’s the point if games are no fun?”
The COO admitted that
Sega was now “looking into whether this technology”
was “really going to take off in this industry after all.” The media outlet noted that “fans of Sonic and Yakuza
can rest assured that characters from those games will not be popping up
on NFT marketplaces any time soon.”
Blockchain gaming has become a sensitive topic among gamers
, who have thus far expressed disdain for titles that incorporate elements of crypto
and blockchain.
