Sega delayed the launch of its own blockchain games. This was stated by Chief Operating Officer Shuji Utsumi, according to Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his view, games built on a Play-to-Earn<\/span> model are “boring” and do not deliver enjoyment.<\/p>\n

The company will not allow third-party blockchain projects to use characters from popular franchises such as Sonic the Hedgehog. Lesser-known series, notably Three Kingdoms and Virtua Fighter, will be used to create NFTs.<\/p>\n

In his view, these measures will help avoid “devaluation of content”.<\/p>\n

Despite shelving its own blockchain games, Sega will continue to invest in Web3<\/a>-projects, said the chief operating officer, noting the usefulness of distributed ledger technology.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are examining whether this technology will actually be in demand in the gaming industry,\u201d said Utsumi.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Robbie Young, CEO of Animoca Brands, forecasted<\/a> the launch of AAA Web3 games in 2024.<\/p>\n

In March, Alibaba Cloud, the cloud provider, announced<\/a> the launch of a ‘blockchain laboratory’ in Japan to create Web3 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
