Interest in NFTs by developers has fallen since 2022
Compared to the results of the same survey from last year, developer interest in blockchain technology dropped from the 27% who were interested in cryptocurrency and the 28% who were interested in NFTs. Currently, only 2% of the respondents from this year’s survey said their studios are currently working on projects with blockchain.
The future for NFTs in gaming also looks grim, with only 17% saying that they favor blockchain technology in games in the first place. Meanwhile, 61% of developers are opposed, and the remainder are unsure or had no opinion on the matter.
The survey also reveals that 53% of developers support unionization in the games industry. 91% of respondents also believe that player harassment and toxicity is an issue in the industry as well. Roughly 68% said that their companies addressed the harassment they experienced or witnessed, with about 20% saying that they haven’t and 11% being unsure if they had.
Sony NFT and blockchain implementation was revealed in a new patent published in November 2022. Meanwhile, one of the creators of the Etherium cryptocurrency says that games with NFTs could work if they were actually fun.
