Ubisoft slammed over Quartz NFT announcement UbisoftUbisoft Quartz is the developer\u2019s brand-new NFT endeavor, but it appears the majority of fans are not impressed by the announcement. Ubisoft is responsible for some great titles over the course of gaming history, such as The Division, Far Cry, Watch Dogs, Rainbow Six, and so many others. But, with their December 7 reveal of Ubisoft Quartz, the company\u2019s first non-fungible token (NFT) endeavor, fans are wondering if the developer is finally past its prime. With the flurry of negative comments on the announcement video and news post, Quartz may struggle to convince fans out of the gate. Ubisoft Quartz NFT rollout slammed by fans: \u201cBe Better\u201d Ubisoft has started advertising Quartz as \u201ca new platform for players to acquire Digits, the first NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) playable in an AAA game,\u201d according to a press release. These cosmetic items will be available in beta on Tom Clancy\u2019s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint on December 9 and will range from gun skins to clothing cosmetics, according to the announcement video shared on December 7. When looking at the comments and the corresponding Twitter thread, Ubisoft fans are not happy with the move from the developer. \u201cYou know I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen sadder things than the game industry getting into NFTs. Genuinely painful. Be better than this Ubisoft,\u201d wrote one commenter, sharing the sentiment of many others frustrated with the move to incorporate NFTs. \u201cI miss the old Ubisoft\u2026\u201d and \u201cThe great thing about Ubisoft is their games have been terrible for 8 years so it\u2019s not even difficult to boycott them\u201d show another trend in the comments of fans displeasure with the companies recent endeavors. Whether it be strictly due to the NFT aspect of Quartz or the companies recent performance, fans are not happy with the move, by in large. 12\/8 Update: According to VGC, the announcement video has been delisted for anyone who doesn\u2019t have the link after 95% of people disliked the video. What is an NFT? For those unaware, NFT\u2019s have swept the internet over the past year with their fair share of haters. The general idea behind them is that you can own a unique piece of digital property, fit with a serial number, that only you own. Then, when you please, you can sell it and hopefully turn a profit. Until recently, these have been limited to avatar-style images that celebrities like Steph Curry use as profile pictures, but now it looks like they\u2019re coming to gaming. How the Ubisoft Quartz announcement will affect the general NFT landscape is unknown, but keep a lookout as other developers may follow suit in dipping their toes into the space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
