Sony is trying to dance on a thin ice, especially because they mention «to purchase the NFT associated with the digital asset illustrated» in the patent. So you're playing the game, got trophy/achievement or just do some action (like kill a boss or something) and your Playstation be like «Hey, we have an NFT for that! Grab it! It will cost...» - it asks ML model to generate the price based on some arbitrary parameters - «10 ETH» or something. Not something i want to every see when i'm playing the game, personally.
P. S.: I might be wrong, of course, but according to their examples in a "Summary" section - it looks like i'm right.
NFT's are a fad really means Not a Fucking Thing. I'd rather see Sony do something else like new games, new features, new talent. They are jumping in on the fad that will have no outcome.
Only hopeful thing to hang onto is they patent a lot of shit that never gets made. Feels like a “better parent it incase this idea does become successful and we didn’t jump on it”
You’d think all companies especially Square Enix would let NFTs go
I don’t care about NFT’s one bit but Sony and MS have a lot of blockchain patents .
Companies are always looking to make money. I hope this blockchain stuff doesn’t permeate gaming and I’d prefer it not exist at all but companies are going to do their due diligence for future possibilities. Hopefully nothing comes from these patents but it may become a thing if we like it or not.
This type of stuff is for online multiplayer gaming and that’s an area of gaming I don’t care for much anyways.
I could see MMOs and online games getting flooded with this stuff because people are already buying and selling items online .
This is a way for companies to get in on that market. It’s not the people who don’t buy items online who are the problem it’s the people who are already buying items now who will make or break this crap. If there are no buyers there is no market
Buying XP, boosts,weapons, items and skins was going to be multiplayer only yet we have single player JRPGs with microtransaction lists longer than many online games.
I'll take a screenshot of that NFT and use it free. Value.
I'm sick of the world I live in with games right now. Everything's being infested with ads, NFTs, in app purchases and online mandatory play, and soon games will be written by AI and bots. Ugh.
And those type of people end up being the biggest problem. People who spend hundreds of dollars on gachas, youtube 'influencers' who normalize it to make it look like its okay...those smooth brained easily influenced masses that just purchase with their brains off are the ones that would be the cause of NFTs poisoning the industry and further ruining it beyond what they've already brought in.

Sony don't do this, this is what you call bad move
Lol gross
