With all the controversy about NFTs – including companies announcing for them before retracting that shortly afterward – indie game site Itch.io has taken to Twitter to confirm its stance on the blockchain currency: "NFTs are a scam", with some harsh words for any company that deals in them.
NFTs are a deeply controversial topic in the games industry – and the world in general, really. Steam has ome bigger publishers going ahead with them.
Now indie game er Itch.io has weighed in on the situation and confirmed its stance on NFTs, as apparently people have been asking the company about them. In a multi-part post on Twitter, Itch.io didn't mince words: "NFTs are a scam," it says, adding that they are only used for the "exploitation of creators, financial scams, and the destruction of the planet".
It also didn't hold back on its criticism for companies that s or endorses NFTs. "They only care about their own profit and the opportunity for wealth above anyone else". Ouch.
