GTA 6 publisher Take-Two \u201chighly convinced\u201d by NFTs in games Take-Two InteractiveThe Take-Two CEO has revealed he is \u201chighly convinced\u201d by NFTs in gaming and the opportunity to fit them in with the company\u2019s future offerings, which includes Grand Theft Auto 6, Red Dead Redemption, and more. Non-Fungible Tokens, or NFTs, have become a divisive subject in the gaming world. These digital pieces of art live on the blockchain and the most expensive NFTs can sell for millions of dollars. Many gamers aren\u2019t fans of NFTs, however. Ubisoft received a bunch of backlash for their launch of Ubisoft Quartz, and fans were left skeptical when Nintendo revealed their interest in creating NFTs. Now Take-Two are showing a similar interest in NFTs, in a move that isn\u2019t likely to go down so well with players of their games. In an interview with gamesindustry.biz, CEO Strauss Zelnick spoke a bit about NFTs and how he sees opportunities for them in future Take-Two titles. \u201cWe believe that NFTs are real, and why wouldn\u2019t they be? We believe in digital goods and we\u2019ve been selling digital goods for a very long time,\u201d he said. \u201cWe believe in rare goods, we believe in collectibles. The concern we have is that there\u2019s a speculation going on. \u201cWe want to make sure that consumers always have a good experience every time they engage with our properties. And losing money on a speculation is not a good experience, so we\u2019re going to stay away from speculation. However, we\u2019re highly convinced there\u2019s an opportunity for NFTs to fit with Take-Two\u2019s offerings in the future.\u201d How exactly NFTs could work in games such as GTA 6 \u2014 which was only announced earlier in February 2020 \u2014 is unclear. Gaming NFTs are often looked at through the possibilities with in-game cosmetics, but whether GTA could follow this route is a big question. That\u2019s for Zelnick and the rest of Take-Two to figure out, however. The main issue will be doing it in a way to appease their players \u2014 and avoid backlash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
