It seems that, like some other major video game publishers, Sega is also interested in adding NFT to future games, as revealed in an interview with various executives and producers. During the same interview, Sega talked more about its “Super Game” projects, confirming that it will be more than one game and some of them could include streaming and gaming in the cloud. The interview was published last month on Sega’s recruitment and career website, but was recently spotted and translated by VGC. In the interview, many Sega producers and executives shared more details about the “SuperGame” initiative, which the company first revealed vaguely at the end of last year. And it seems that NFTs may be involved. According to Sega vice president Shuji Utsumi, the Super Game refers to more than one game and will be a kind of banner with which some future releases will be developed. According to Utsumi, “SuperGames” will be “AAA titles that go beyond SEGA’s full range of technologies” and will be part of a larger five-year plan. According to Utsumi, “various titles” are developed under this “framework” of the Super Game, although each title may be very different from the other. He explained that they will all be “interactive titles that go beyond the traditional context of games”. Sega executives cited the rise of streaming and people watching people play games on Twitch as examples of how gaming has changed in recent years. “I think there is a lot of potential in the relationship between people who play and watch games,” Utsumi added. “We are thinking of creating new entertainment within these possibilities.” Picture: SEGA And yes, it seems that some of these “SuperGames” could include NFT, as Sega producer Masayoshi Kikuchi explained in part of the interview. “Gaming has a history of expanding through the connection of different cultures and technologies,” Kikuchi said. “For example, social networking and video game promotion are recent examples. “It’s a natural extension for the future of gaming that it will expand to include new areas such as cloud gaming and NFT. We also develop SuperGame from the perspective of how different games can be linked together. “ Once again, we have another example of a company talking about NFT in vague statements that are not much more than “Wow, this could be settled” or “Who knows !? One day…”. Kotaku contacted Sega for comment on NFT and cloud gaming. Many consider NFT / blockchain technology to be a giant scam, full of scammers and fraudsters who want to make money fast before the bubble bursts. There are also problems with how blockchain technology can lead to more electronic waste, as well as accelerating global warming, wasting electricity and making it difficult for people to find and buy specific computer components, such as GPUs.

Likewise, even so-called success stories tend to result in huge losses and embarrassing blunders. A recent example: A hacker withdrew more than 600 million from Axie Infinity for security exploitation. However, because there is money to be made, the big gaming companies will continue to push forward, even accusing their fans of not getting NFT, while continuing to ignore all the criticism and reactions in its name to earn a little money. Poor Sonic, you deserve something better than that. .
