Ubisoft Delists Quartz NFT Announcement Video - Get2Gaming

NFT

NFTs have been a bit of a hot button issue in the past year. Those in favour of them claim that they allow people to own and make money off of Digital art. On the other side, many are at best skeptical of the Idea, given its undeniably large carbon footprint and that the idea of owning Digital art is questionable given that any piece of Art can be Saved in a form that is functionally identical to the “original” NFT.

With this in mind, it probably wasn’t a huge surprise that the announcement of the “Quartz NFT ” Promotion Ubisoft are/were planning to add into Ghost recon: Breakpoint got such a negative response. It was so bad that the announcement has been delisted on youtube. Even with youtube no-longer showing the Dislike number publicly (By the way, there are plugins to re-enable that if you want to), VGC was able to determine that the announcement video had a whopping 90% dislike ratio.

Ubisoft is planning to give away the first 3 NFT Items to players that have logged a large number of hours in the game, with their aim being to make players into “stakeholders” and sees the NFT’s as a way to reward players. Ubisoft also claim their NFT’s are also more environmentally friendly than others, due to them using a different blockchain based on Tezos.

NFT’s are a very contentious topic in the video game space. Aside from the issues with the technology already, Video Games, especially online ones which seem to be the target of NTF integration most of the time, are transient. Eventually the servers of any given game will be taken offline, and with them any NFT’s from the game will be lost. Alongside this, many industry professionals have denounced the tech, Geoff Keighley has explicitly rejected the notion of involving NFT’s in the game awards, Phil Spence has talked negatively of them, and Steam has explicitly banned blockchain games from its store.

Despite this, some game companies are looking more into NFT’s. Neopets, Sega and GameStop have started selling or have looked into selling them. Ubisoft trying to get into space seems almost like a desperate attempt to get Ghost Recount Breakpoint to be notable after a dismal launch. However if this is the companies gamble to get the game back, I am pretty sure its not going to work.
