In his New Year's message, Square Enix, president yosuke Matsuda, a veteran game player in Japan, talked about the NFT that is hot in the game industry in 2021, and said that SE had already begun investing in the field as early as May 2021.
Matsuda said that SE Group has already designated blockchain games including artificial intelligence, cloud computing and NFT as a key investment area in May 2021, and believes that in 2022, the metacosmonic concept will move towards real business practices. For NFT and blockchain games, which are hot and controversial, Matsuda said that the majority of players who play games for "pure entertainment" still account for the majority, so everyone still has reservations about this new trend. But he believes that the development of NFT competition will enrich the driving force of playing games, in addition to the "playing games for the sake of making money" that has emerged, there will also be "playing games for contribution", which can make game content creators who have generated power for love in the past more motivated to create large-scale content. It's like some of the big mods of games and so on.
Matsuda Yoshiyuki said that the form of manufacturers to provide players with finished games is "centralized games", while the UGC created by players is "decentralized games", and this kind of mind will allow different types of players to interact with the game Ecology will be the trend of the future.
