The NFT craze, especially with celebrities selling overpriced JPEGs, does seem absurd. The environmental impact of crypto mining, the GPU market issues, and its use in organized crime are significant problems. The lack of protection for investors makes it even riskier.
Gaming companies like Ubisoft embracing NFTs could set a bad precedent, leading others like EA and Activision to follow suit. This shift towards monetizing digital assets rather than focusing on quality games is concerning. Hopefully, companies like Sony and Microsoft will resist this trend and prioritize creating engaging gaming experiences.
