Overwatch and Warcraft studio Blizzard is polling its players on their interest in NFTs and ‘play to earn’ cryptocurrency games.
As spotted by GameRant, several players were asked to complete a YouGov survey this weekend that mentioned the polarising technologies.
One section of the survey asked participants how interested they would be if crypto and NFTs were introduced to Activision Blizzard products, along with more conventional features such as cross-play, VR and subscription services.
Activision Blizzard is yet to officially enter the NFT space. The company is set to be acquired by Microsoft, which framed the $70bn deal as providing the “building blocks for the metaverse”.
Numerous game companies have already started selling digital items as NFTs, including Konami and Atari, though this has attracted criticism from some due to the format’s high carbon footprint and what many perceive to be cynical implementation.
