Epic boss Tim Sweeney has said the company won't ban NFT games on the Epic Games Store, despite Mojang's recent pledge to ban them. Sweeney claimed that 'stores and operating system makers shouldn't interfere by forcing their views onto others'.
Sweeney was asked by a Twitter user if Epic would be taking a similar stance.
NFTs are unique non-interchangeable units of data stored on a decentralised ledger called a blockchain, which allow users to buy and sell digital assets such as in-game items or artwork. “A store could choose to make no such judgments and host anything that’s legal, or choose to draw the line at mainstream acceptable norms as we do, or accept only games that conform to the owner’s personal beliefs,” Sweeney said, explaining why the controversial technology won’t be banned outright.Mojang’s statement on Wednesday explained that NFT technology would constitute a violation of the Minecraft Usage Guidelines.
