The CEO of Sega describes blockchain games that offer earning opportunities as "dull" or lacking excitement.
Sega, the Japanese company known for its popular video games, has temporarily shelved its plans to develop blockchain games. According to Bloomberg, Sega acknowledges the importance of this technology but believes that play-to-earn games do not offer an engaging gaming experience.
Shuji Utsumi, co-chief of Sega, emphasized that there is no point in games that fail to provide enjoyment to players. Instead, the company allows third-party partners to create games based on some of its franchises but currently restricts the use of its key characters in blockchain titles to avoid potential devaluation of its intellectual property.
Despite this decision, Sega will continue to invest in the blockchain gaming space, recognizing the potential for its increased popularity in the future. Utsumi noted that the initial steps in new areas often seem extreme, but their significance should not be underestimated.
Therefore, Sega has temporarily postponed its own plans for developing blockchain games but will monitor the technology's development and consider opportunities for its future use.
