Kane99 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Oh god, when is it going to end. More bad news as the gaming industry just can't leave NFTs and Blockchain technology behind. It looks like Sony is the next ones to decide on making their own NFTs and blockchain tech. Their purpose is to make it to track digital asset purchases. Which means they're going to utilize NFTs as a way to sell digital assets. So probably clothing, avatars, games, maybe even special release skins. The possibilities are endless, at least when it comes to digital stuff. My worries is that this is going to just result in more ways for studios to take more money out of us for things that probably should be free to begin with.

Shagger Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I wouldn't reed too much into this. Companies file patents to prepare for "maybe's" in the market all time with no definite intent to actually do anything with them. NFT's have already gone out of fashion and Sony know that. If I were Sony, I would have patented tech to take advantage of the trend as well just in case they the turned out not to be wasteful, flash-in-the-pan, unsustainable fad that they they were. And I say that in the past tense proudly because the are dead. NFT's are dead, Sony know that, all they were doing is covering thier bases. No reason to panic.

Justin11 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Majors companies like Facebook , Google and Tesla are all delving into NFT'S and blockchain technology at some point I already predicted Sony would get into NFT'S as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 To be fair, companies file lots of patents every year and most don't ever see the day of light so I wouldn't necessarily panic just yet. It's not like Ubisoft and Square Enix who directly came out and announced they were going to actively invest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 People need to calm down on the NFT thing, this could also be a new way for them to verify ownership of things like digital game, dlc and such, having an external way to work with its own internal database, it could also be to hold the patent so they could make money off others wanting to use it... or it could be NFT trash lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countless other gaming companies has failed miserably, just because they're Sony doesn't mean they'll fair any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I wouldn't look too far into this right away unless Sony actually come out and confirm that is what they are working on. All too often you will see things like this filed and rumors will run riot and they never amount to anything in the end or only so many do and it's usually not the ones you thought would to be honest. With the way people are with NFT's this could just be something they did to secure what they needed but whether or not they do bother with NFT's is a different story.

Technology in all of it's forms is the future of the world as we know it so it is only commemorative that we start getting a lot of innovations in every aspect of human existence including how we manage our resources or assets which involves NFT'S.
