Valve is reportedly banning all blockchain, crypto, and NFT games from Stea꧅m.
The developer of first-person adventure game Age of Rust – which allows players to collect NFTs for completing in-game puzzles – went to Twitter to share its frustration at a🦩 which now says Steam will no longer publish "applications ⛄built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs".
St෴eam's point of view is that items have value and they don't allow items that can have real-world value on their platform. While I respect their choi🥂ce, I fundamentally believe that NFTs and blockchain games are the future. It's why I started this journey with all of you.3/4
"We chose to be upfront about blockchain gaming & NFTs. A🦩s a result, we finally lost the battle with Steam. While I'm disappointed for Age of Rust being remov🦹ed, the point is more to the fact that Blockchain games as [a] whole are going to be removed. This is [a] setback for all."
The developer goes on to insist that thꦉough Steam♑'s point of view "is that items have value and they don't allow items that can have real-world value on their platform", the dev "fundamentally believe[s] that NFTs and blockchain games are the future".
"It's why I started this journey with ༺all of you," the developer concluded.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games Store, on the other hand, will seemingly continue to accept games with blockchain tech – at least, that's what Epic Games boss༺ Tim Sweeney recently in response to the furor.
Epic Games Store will welcome games that make use of blockchain✨ tech provided they follow the relevant laws, disclose their terms, and are age-rated by an appꦿropriate group. Though Epic's not using crypto in our games, we welcome innovation in the areas of technology and finance. //t.co/6W7hb8zJBw

Though Epic's not using crypto in our games, we welcome innovation in the areas of technology and finance," Sweeney tweeted.
"As a technology, the blockchain is just a distributed transactional database with a decentralized business model that incentivize investment in hardware to expand the database's capacity. This has utility whether or not a particula🥀r use of it su🐻cceeds or fails."
Neitꦦher Steam nor Valve have yet commented publꦛicly on the rule change.
