As far as I remember, Sega, once was a championing voice for GameFi and blockchain-based games, what's happening now? Is it quitting the sector?
I read an interview with Bloomberg, Sega’s co-Chief Operating Officer, Shuji Utsumi, said that the gaming giant is now apprehensive about the technology and will be canceling plans to develop its own blockchain games.
What surprised me was that he said that "action in play-to-earn games is boring. What’s the point if games are no fun?"
I mean, really?? Did he hear of Gods Unchained, CoinFantasy, or Splinterlands? This gotta be a joke…
The Japanese firm had previously announced that it would withhold some of its best-known games and IP from the blockchain. However, it still intends to allow third-party developers to produce blockchain games. Last year it announced that it had signed a deal with a development house called Double Jump Tokyo to develop blockchain games based on its lesser-known IP.
So, this makes me pretty confused.
