All this fuss over NFT is just because of media hype - real people do not want them. The bubble will burst.

Yea its people going crazy over.....a receipt of some sort? I don't understand the draw of NFTs. NOW if the technology would mean I can authenticate my Relic weapons from FFXI and I could then get them as glams for FFXIV or w/e future SE projects...... >_>; but that still doesn't address the actual programming and coding to port those skins forward into XIV's engine (or future games' engines), NFT tech would still only be just a good solution they might consider for verifying player progress in this dumb hypothetical i put forth

i have no idea what a NFT or blockchain is never heard of these terms before

also as for the article "The company behind the likes of Final Fantasy and Tomb Raider" are these people daft or sometime? tomb raider was made by the core design until crystal dynamics took over, square has only ever published the reboots the only actual tomb raider game square has developed themselves is lara croft go which is just some useless mobile game

Expecting games journalists to actually do research in 2021, good joke.

Blockchain tech can certainly be leveraged for dupe exploit detection. OTOH I suspect the context here is for some form of microtransaction. As somebody else pointed out cryptocurrencies and NFT's are headed for some heavy regulation in many countries.
