Although he tried to defend his use of NFTs, the developer’s original plans were scrapped entirely. GSC Game World announced yesterday that it would implement NFTs into the Stalker 2 release. However, despite the reaction to the Ubisoft NFT plans, it didn’t sit well in the eyes of fans, and there was an immediate backlash. The complaints were so loud and vociferous that GSC Game World has completely abandoned its plans. In a simple, brief Twitter-and-short message, GSC writes. Weve decided to cancel anything in Stalker 2 because of the feedback we received. The team wants its fans and players, which is the big deal. We made this game that you could enjoy it no matter what the cost is. If you want, we want to, too. pic.twitter.com/mffnmpiQiw “S.T.A.L.K.E.R. OFFICIAL” (@shameback-season) December 16, 2021 The studio released a statement to defend its NFT implementation. The tweet has since been deleted, but, naturally, someone saved it for posterity sake and shared it on ResetEra. First, it explained that, since Stalker 2 being the most complex and most complex game in the US, it needs more money to develop. Any money made from the NFT would’ve been spent on improving the game. Second, it was claimed that the NFTs wouldn’t have affected gameplay and were entirely optional, which is the same defence that some provide for certain microtransactions and DLC. That also emphasized the impact of the weather. The problem with NFTs is that the creation of them is ultimately harmful to the environment. GSC wrote that DMarket, the company that it was working with, prioritizes energy consumption and minimizes CO2 emissions and other environmental hazard. These are generally good NFTs. Those are obviously not enough to placate the community. The majority probably weren’t concerned that the NFTs would be a thing of concern for gameplay, but for simply a matter of fact they exist in the existence of the concept of a con, asking people to buy a piece of content that, technically, wouldn’t actually be theirs to own. The idea of selling illegal forms of commerce was also repeatedly compared to Ponzi schemes, where only those involved in the first few sales have the real chance of making money, until someone later in the chain is left with an item not worthless. Stalker 2 doesn’t require anything to make money in any other way, but there are two very expensive special editions available for pre-order, which cost 64.99 and 94.99 respectively. Though NFTs quickly become PR poison, there is still an audience to them. It’s why game companies like Ubisoft have an active interest, even when audiences and market forces come in to correct them and demolish their arguments in favour of NFTs. Despite the massive disrepresentation of the previous video games, the publishers kept their exploits open as long as they did not. There was the collapse of a huge telepathy around Star Wars: When a user pushed on the edge of the first two enemies, a lot of games ended up taking away them. We can only hope that the same will happen with non-fidd-led fighters. Stalker 2: The Heart of Chernobyl was released in April 2022 for the Xbox Series X/S and PC.
