The world-famous game maker and game publishing company Valve took action to ban NFT games from being published on their platforms. The company, which also owns the Steam platform, plans to enforce this ban because it believes that NFT games do not add any real value to the metaverse storage.
NFT games, one of the products of the NFT craze, faced a significant obstacle as they continued to spread. Valve, which also owns the Steam platform, will not allow such games to be published, as it believes that NFT games will not make a real contribution to the metadata store.
After this decision, Valve removed the Age of Rust game, which was published on the platform. The strict followers of the NFT world, on the other hand, regretted this decision.
NFTs, or non-exchangeable tokens, have added value to digital artworks and various video games in the crypto world in recent days. While NFT games continue to be published on the internet, this news was met with excitement after an NFT game was released on Steam. However, this game and NFT games were blocked by Valve.
Valve has updated its guidelines on the Steam platform and stated that it does not have any initiatives on the use of NFT and cryptocurrency on the platform. After this update, Age of Rust game was negatively affected and removed from the platform. The NFT community, on the other hand, regretted this decision and stated that Valve has delayed the future technology of NFT and crypto money.
For example, although the Axie Infinity game was quite successful, this success was very short-lived and investors were not happy with the results they received. After this news by Axie Infinity, Valve seems to have banned the use of NFT and crypto money on the platform instead of taking a risk.
