They should try making a game people like instead
Yesterday, Ubisoft announced their intention to bringthe first NFTs to their gamesin the form of three cosmetic items forGhost Recon Breakpoint. As part of the announcement they produced a 79 second trailer describing how the system, dubbed “Ubisoft Quartz”, would work.
After around 24 hours, the video has 200k views, 1300+ likes and 35,000+ dislikes.
Here’s the video:

While YouTube recently removed the ability to see how many dislikes a video has, the dislike button still exists, and there are Chrome plugins that let you bring the counter back. At the time of writing, 96% of people who gave the video a thumb one way or the other disliked the video.
While every publisher’s CEO is talking up NFTs and cryptocurrency and “play-to-earn”, and while investors are clearly horny for the technology, there’s never been any evidence people who play games want it. Here instead is some evidence that they do not.
Correction: This story originally stated that the video had been delisted after the negative response. This is incorrect; it was always delisted. Apologies for the error.
