Fils-Aimé stated:
“I’m a believer in blockchain. I think blockchain as a technology is really compelling. I’m also a believer in the concept of ‘play to own’ within video games.”
To exemplify this case, the former Nintendo executive stated that players who invest their time in games should be able to monetize their activities in some way. He declared:
“I’m a believer in blockchain. I think blockchain as a technology is really compelling. I’m also a believer in the concept of ‘play to own’ within video games.”
Fils-Aimé concluded by saying that many would be interested in purchasing his island in the Animal Crossing game, introducing a possible application of the NFT technology to a current Nintendo franchise.
Nintendo, one of the pioneer companies in the gaming industry, has been slow when it comes to innovating by including these elements in their games. However, this does not mean they don’t understand what these technologies can achieve in the future.
