Steam rejects cryptocurrencies in its list of payments for this reason

 

The popular video game company Steam has banned all games that include non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrency, and while discussing the controversial decision on Steam, founder and owner Gabi Newell described it in a recent interview with Eurogamer: “He believes there are things” that are illegal. "That Happens Behind the Scenes".


A prominent American video game developer has also had trouble with the volatility of cryptocurrencies:

“The volatility of cryptocurrency means that people have no idea what price they were actually paying.”

 However, Gabe Newell acknowledges that Blockchain is a “cool technology” despite dismissing its primary use, and adds that the people who are currently active in this field are not role models for us.

What about metaverses?

Gabe Newell also downplayed Metaverse in an interview with PC Gamer, claiming that Metaverse is riddled with "get-rich-quick schemes".


The businessman questioned the novelty of the concept because he believed that it did not solve any new problem:

I think Metaverse is bullshit, but my opinion hasn't stopped Meta (formerly Facebook) from spending billions on R&D or start-up investors from paying millions of dollars into any company that says the words “Blockchain” and “Metaverse” in a sentence.

He added:

“It is clear that the gaming industry has been exploring these technologies for a long time.”

“It will be interesting to see if anyone who comes into the industry late has a lot to add.”
