We began hearing a lot about the term NFT or NFTs, which has become one of the most popular news items in recent periods, but this term is still vague and incomprehensible to most players, as well as the relationship of game development companies such as Ubisoft with it, as well as GSC Game World studio, which has retracted its use.In his next game, STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl, Because of the players' objections and the attack that was launched against them, I, Ubisoft, am moving forward on this matter, disregarding its creative trends that have begun to be lost recently and the claims of its players, as well as many of its employees.
So-called NFTs are considered a new type of new digital asset, or we can say that they are a form of digital documentation that confirms a person's ownership of any digital asset, and in the world of digital art, where each non-fungible token represents ownership of an original work of art that you cannot duplicate, you can consider them as unique digital items that no one else has.
Recently, Ubisoft announced its plans to add NFTs to its games, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint will be the first to get this support through its Ubisoft Quartz platform, and a beta phase will be launched this week with the PC version. Players will be able to get Digits as part of limited packages, each consisting of a set number of cosmetic items, according to the company.
This led to the resentment of most players because of this strange scheme, as a sharp and violent attack was launched against the French developer through social networks, which led to the disappearance of the advertising video from the YouTube platform, and the audience interacted through the comments system and pressed the "Dislike" button, which exceeded the percentage of Compared to Like, with a ratio of 20:1, people who do not have the direct link to the video can no longer watch it.
The French developer had to take into account a set of factors that led to the "backlash" in its latest announcement, the first of which is choosing the time due to the circumstances and crises the company has been going through recently, repeating its titles with the poor launch of many of them, declining sales, and choosing a title like GR Breakpoint, which suffered a huge disappointment from players as it was the worst title without homes in the history of the series.
Another factor that the company did not take into account is a factor that exposes players to risk, as we know that dealing with NFTs is not very secure, as anyone can be exposed to an electronic hacking process that could cause him great losses, as this happened recently with Justin, the partner. The founder of the Twitch platform, who was exposed to a massive scam that led to him losing 150 thousand dollars after a hacker gained access to a server bot and used it to spread fraudulent NFT links in the ad channel, 373 people out of 100,000 in the NFT Discord Fractal community were scammed.
Ubisoft has also brushed off its developers who assert that they are not completely satisfied with the company's decision to add non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to its games. As messages posted on the company's internal social media center, Ubisoft MANAGE, showed, employees expressed great disappointment about the recent announcement of the Ubisoft platform Quartz.
Unfortunately, the company's response came indirectly via Didier Genevois, Technical Director of Blockchain Service at Ubisoft, through Decrypt, a site literally owned by a crypto company. These concerns are valid and should be taken into account every step of the way.
This experiment aims to understand how players can receive and embrace the decentralized value proposition. We know it's a big change that will take time for players to get used to, and we'll stay true to our principles.

One last thing Ubisoft didn't consider is that NFTs are a huge scam and a huge intrusion into the world of video games, and these current digital systems are only designed to enrich those who go after them, not to mention the environmental catastrophe they contribute to, so we hope the company returns It has come to its senses and appreciates its principles more since it is still a giant and ancient company in the world of video games by taking the same bold steps as the developer, GSC Game World.
