Mike Taramykin Interview: Why Video Games Aren't Ready For NFTs

screenrant.com:

Cryptocurrency and NFTs — short for non-fungible tokens — have become increasingly prevalent in the gaming world. While many gaming store platforms have eliminated NFT-based games, many developers have continued to integrate the technology into their games, offering NFTs that take the form of things like special characters skins or items. The integration of blockchain technology in games has been met with much criticism, both for the actual versus perceived value of the NFTs sold and the environmental impact of mining cryptocurrency.

The mechanics of the mobile game Ultimate Golf! could easily incorporate NFTs, offering things like special golf balls or clubs. However, the game's developers have no plans to do so in the near future, stemming from the belief that it would not improve the user experience or be of any true utility to players. Instead, the game's team has chosen to focus on limited-time events in Ultimate Golf! to drive user engagement.
