SEGA and NFT: the reverse is close after the complaints of the fans
SEGA and NFT
In this period one of the hottest and most discussed videogame topics concerns the world of NFT and the metaverse. Many video game companies have already stated that they are interested in investing in NFTs, and many of them have also already unveiled their plans in this regard. Konami, for example, has just recently unveiled a series of NFTs on its flagship Castlevania franchise, but Square Enix and S>EGA also seem to be interested in this new growing sector.SEGA Just SEGA, recently , could choose to backtrack on the sale of its NFTs, also going to interrupt what were the plans of the Japanese company regarding its Play-to-Earn systems. All these sudden second thoughts would be due to the response to what has been feedback from fans, who did not take very well the intentions of the company of Sonic and his companions.
“We have to carefully evaluate many things and think about how you can mitigate the negative elements, but above all be careful about what will be accepted and what will not be accepted by users. So, we will consider further whether these plans of ours can add something to our mission: to create constantly, always being eye-catching, but if everything is perceived as an easy way to make money, then we will make the decision not to proceed further, "said SEGA recently. .

Sega Might Decide “Not to Proceed” with NFT Plans if They’re “Perceived as Simple Money-Making”
More and more companies in the games industry have been turning their attention to NFTs and blockchain, and the inherent skepticism that most have to that in general has been compounded by the fact that many developers and publishers have spoken about their plans to use NFTs in games for monetization purposes. One of several companies to have spoken about such plans is Sega- though it seems like things might not be set in stone there.
During a recent management meeting Q&A, Sega acknowledged the widespread criticisms and backlash against NFTs in games from, and said that that, and several other factors, will have to be carefully considered before the company makes any final decisions. Interestingly, Sega says that if its NFT plans are “perceived as simple money-making”, the company might even make the decision to drop those plans entirely.
“In terms of NFT, we would like to try out various experiments and we have already started many different studies and considerations but nothing is decided at this point regarding P2E,” Sega said. “There have been many announcement about this already including at overseas but there are users who shows negative reactions at this point. We need to carefully assess many things such as how we can mitigate the negative elements, how much we can introduce this within the Japanese regulation, what will be accepted and what will not be by the users. Then, we will consider this further if this leads to our mission ‘Constantly Creating, Forever Captivating, but if it is perceived as simple money-making, I would like to make a decision not to proceed.”
Not all companies have had similar stances on NFT-related monetization in games. Ubisoft is all-in on it, and it looks like Square Enix is going to follow suit. That said, it doesn’t look like Xbox is too keen on the idea, while Steam has banned games with cryptocurrencies and NFTs entirely. Recently, GSC Game World also cancelled its NFT-related plans for the upcoming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 following widespread backlash.
