Epic Games won’t ban games with NFT support from its store

Epic Games won’t ban games with NFT support from its store

Tim Sweeney promised that the game creators would be able to express themselves and make the content they consider necessary. The support of non-fungible tokens will not be a verdict for the developers and their products on the site of Epic Games.

It is worth noting that one of the most popular gaming platforms in the world, Steam, removed from its store all the games that had NFT support in autumn 2021.

Unlike their colleagues from Mojang and the Steam platform, Epic Games developers will not remove games from their store because they have such content. The CEO and co-founder Sweeney stated this in response to a question from a user on the social network Twitter.

The player asked for comment on the issue of collectible tokens and removing such games from the store, to which Sweeney replied that this would not happen.

Developers should be free to decide how to build their games, and you are free to decide whether to play them. I believe stores and operating system makers shouldn’t interfere by forcing their views onto others. We definitely won’t.

said Sweeney.

It should be noted that Epic Games is the creator of the popular game engine, Unreal Engine. Also, Epic Games has created one of the most trending games of the decade – Fortnite. At the moment, Epic Games is considered to be one of the most influential and respected companies in the computer games industry.
