Square Enix and Crypto

[rance-sama]

And important thing to remember is that the FFXIV devs are NOT the same as the SE CEO and the Corporate side of the industry. This scummy thing is coming from the corporate publisher SE, not the XIV dev team.

I can't in any reality see YoshiP and the team being okay with adding NFT's to XIV. If it happens and gets forced on them by corporate side, the community would mass riot and exodus. At least, I would hope these devs would fight against that.

The problem is that sometimes corporate meddling from higher places oozes all the way down to other departments. Imagine if the SE CEO decided to tell YoshiP to add NFTs to FFXIV in one way or another because "It's the future of gaming".
This garbage is going to get worse before it gets better, and by getting better I mean it will die in a most spectacular way.

Oh I 100% agree, hence when I said I really hope that doesn't happen.
