NFT integration is considered to be a huge concern among gamers and developers. Valve President Gabe Newell banned NFT games from Steam, claiming there\u2019s a lot of \u201csketchy behavior\u201d surrounding them, and players have widely condemned the practice. However, not everyone is against them. Some believe the concerns are blown out of proportion because people don\u2019t understand what\u2019s happening, and as a result, overlook the perks of NFT integration in gaming. As the debate rages on, Midnight Society assured fans that Project Moon won\u2019t be a game people play to \u201cmake money.\u201d Instead, they insisted it\u2019s all about having fun, and stressed the fact NFT integration is optional. \u201cOur job here is to create a really killer game,\u201d the studio heads said during an AMA on Discord. \u201cAll of the blockchain NFT integration stuff right now is focused entirely on the Founders Pass stuff, and your account is sort of tied to all of that stuff. \u201cIf you don\u2019t care about that stuff, or you don\u2019t have an interest in it, or you\u2019re even actively against it, then just play the game and don\u2019t worry about any of that stuff. You\u2019re never going to be forced or pressured or told to interact with any of that stuff whatsoever. \u201cI feel like when people are like. \u2018Oh, this is an NFT game, or it\u2019s a blockchain game, it is not, because generally the definition of those things are like all of that gameplay level stuff is written to the chain, and that is not what we\u2019re doing. \u201cThis is not a game you play to make money. This is a game where you play it to have fun. The only difference is I believe very strongly that when you buy things, when you buy games, and when you buy anything, you should be able to sell it.\u201d The relevant part of the video beings at 1:20:19. Dr Disrespect echoed the sentiment during a stream on March 15: \u201cYou don\u2019t have to have NFTs to play the game,\u201d he said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t change your experience of the game once it releases, and it will continue to be free-to-play.\u201d Still, not everyone is keen on the idea, including some members of the Champions Club, who voiced their concerns on the Dr Disrespect subreddit. So, there\u2019s still a lot of division about it in the lead-up to the game\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Midnight Society assures fans Project Moon game isn\u2019t about \u201cmaking money\u201d amid NFT fears YouTube\/Dr Disrespect\/Midnight SocietyDr Disrespect\u2019s game studio, Midnight Society, assured fans their upcoming Project Moon game isn\u2019t about \u201cmaking money\u201d because NFT integration will always be entirely optional.
