Companies Have Jumped On NFTs Several game companies are interested
in NFTs. Ubisoft, Square Enix, Electronic Arts, and GameStop have
all announced plans to deploy NFT products and services, or have
tentative plans to do so. Ubisoft, has previously released NFTs for
use in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint on a PC (PC). The move
was chastised for the NFTs aspects and for the usability of NFT
products. The news from Konami coincides with SEGA’s recent
revelation that it may abandon its NFT plans owing to poor
reception. SEGA first unveiled its plans for NFT in March 2020.
Konami’s debut into the NFT space has been mocked by some video
game players. Conversations regarding the company’s NFTs have been
strewn across social media since Thursday. Related article | How
