Minecraft completely rejecting NFTs and what they represent is a big deal. Minecraft is the most successful video game and virtual world in history, and WAS a big target for NFT racketeering.
Minecraft has decided NFTs have no place in its future. Huge.https://t.co/5SjlnxQh7m pic.twitter.com/idDzESBFiH

Great news.
Why would they need NFTs when they already have insanely over priced clothing items in their store?
Buying things in games with no NFT : the dev still owns thing
Buying things in games with NFTs: you own the thing
GOOD
between the 1.19 update and this, Microsoft is back to neutral
GOOD.
not a fan of Minecraft but I do have mad respect for banning NFTs and blockchain scams
Minecraft keep fighting the good fight 😉
Yes it is perhaps one of the good news we need.
Microsoft did not make a stance against NFTs, Mojang did. There is a HUGE difference.
Of all the developers to make a good call on blocking NFTs. Never figured Microsoft to be one of them.
Good to hear
A game company actually standing up for Fun & Play?
What's going on? Where am I?
Good glad to see someome not jumping on the nft bandwagon.
This is the right thing to say about blockchain tech.
You never play a game with cosmetics before? 99% of games are haves and have nots. Also funny they talk about money and just ruined a ton of investments lmfao. I don't have money into these things buy ahahah
Ths good ending
I can't wait for them to pivot in a few years when all other games have integrated the technology
You'd have to be an absolute moron to even touch NFTs as a developer with all the news around it.
I am glad to hear Minecraft have such healthy attitude towards NFTs
Good.
Good
Minecraft 360 was its own time you had to be there to understand
Hey why are you not reporting about minecraft instituting global bans by player reports?
i love you mojang! <3
It's Mo-jang right? Or have I been saying it wrong this whole time.
welp, looks like its time to go back and play some more minecraft then XD microsoft earned itself some points in my eyes
Seems more like they said. "No, thanks. Maybe later". Granted that may just be the new chat monitoring/player ban feature, souring me on them.
