Earlier this week Mojang share its stance regarding NFTs, technically banning them from Minecraft which was applauded by the community as a whole.

As expected, after Mojang released its statement some users didn’t waste a second and asked many companies to give them transparency on this topic too. One of them was directed towards Epic Games, whose CEO and founder Tim Sweeney answered fairly quickly via Twitter.

In Sweeney’s own words: “Developers should be free to decide how to build their games, and you are free to decide whether to play them. I believe stores and operating system makers shouldn’t interfere by forcing their views onto others. We definitely won’t.

We will leave you the tweet here:

Of course, this didn’t sit well with the community who argued that the fact that companies had different perspectives and guidelines within their own game is completely valid and this doesn't mean that they are forcing their views onto others.

On the other hand as NFTs and blockchain are not regulated we completely understand why the community and even Mojang have drawn the line between one thing and the other. According to the Game Developers Conference a survey with 2,700 developers said that companies had no interest in adding NFTs to their games.

We don’t blame them, sales of NFTs dropped to a 12-month low in June which had fallen in worth from about $3 trillion in November 2021 to under $1 trillion.

What are your opinions regarding NFTs and blockchain? We will love to read you in the comments.
