So far, Ubisoft has sold only units of its NFT -apkrig

The Quartz platform, which is used to broadcast NFT to games from Ubisoft, can only be monitored remotely due to limited action. The beta version is only available in a few regions, which undoubtedly limits it in its overall reach, and any lower interest in tokens could be explained by these circumstances. However, the editors of PlayStation Lifestyle magazine reviewed the public catalog on Objkt.com and came up with relatively overwhelming statistics. Ubisoft managed to sell only six units in the first week since its launch cosmetic NFT out of the total number of 2000 skins, the number of which has already been increased by another thousand in the meantime. The reason may be not only the price, but also the fact that these are actually skins that differ only in serial number. There were 2000 identical models of weapons and 750 identical pants and – you guess correctly – 250 identical helmets.

If you look in the catalog, you will find that the lowest asking price set by Ubisoft developers is less than 40 units of the Tezos cryptocurrency. After converting to dollars, we are talking about a skin, the value of which, according to people from Ubisoft, is approximately 3,500 crowns. The highest set price then ends at 100,000 Tezos, which is a hardly believable 9 million crowns. In reality, however, the described skins were sold for a price of 5 to 20 Tezos, well below the intended lowest price tag, with the highest amount that someone offered for the remaining skins was 447 crowns last night. You might think that NFTs associated with games simply have no value, but that shouldn’t be the Legacy of 22cans developers who sell land to players for the future construction of their own small workshops or factories to create more NFTs. At their sale, the company of designer Peter Molyneux has already managed to raise over a billion crowns and the business – regardless of the real value of the tokens offered – is working successfully. So why not at Ubisoft?

There is no clear answer to this question yet. The generic form of the NFT, the connection with the older Ghost Recon: Breakpoint or just the mentioned availability of the platform in only a handful of countries, will probably have something to do with it, but everything else has to be deciphered over time. However, the individual Ubisoft employees are not in favor of this, who should have defined themselves in terms of NFT and blockchain as their employer approaches him, which, on the other hand, is not an argument for CEO Yves Guillemot. According to Kotaku, the company’s president was due to speak to individual Ubisoft developers and staff this week to explain that the French publisher is serious about the trend and intends to stick to somewhat vague terms such as meta version or Web 3.0. According to Kotaku sources, Guillemot was supposed to provide space for questions from connected employees during his speech, but he did not provide any specific answers to questions such as how NFTs can contribute to gameplay or make available elements that were not yet available. His comparison of Ubisoft’s new business interest to how the Roblox platform works, as well as an explanation of how Ubisoft intends to deal with fraud and allegations that it is building one big one, should have been unclear. airplane, from which only those above will benefit.

In connection with these reports, Axios magazine reports that a lot of employees who have previously worked on the most prominent brands such as Far Cry or Assassin’s Creed are leaving Ubisoft en masse. At the same time, they should be high-ranking developers from the first lines of the final titles of the last parts of the mentioned brands, as well as people working in lower positions. The numbers go to the units of hundreds of employees, and according to Axios magazine, there is talk of a big exodus. The reason may not only be the controversy associated with the NFT – according to anonymous statements, some employees have lost faith that Ubisoft you know what he’s doing and others, for example, mention up to a threefold salary increase when they accepted an offer from another company operating in the same area, mostly the United States and Canada. The company’s culture and cases of harassment or discrimination, which outgoing employees no longer want to accept and have decided to look for happiness elsewhere, are also a persistent problem.
