Last year, Square Enix, following in the footsteps of other companies, announced support for Blockchain technology, which is responsible for storing, validating, and licensing digital currencies. Using cryptocurrencies in its games will allow players to streamline the process of buying or selling any item.
Blockchain technology is closely associated with NFTs (Non-Redeemable Tokens) and Square Enix has committed its expansion to making NFT games and cryptocurrency.
Recently, among the company president's messages to announce its plans for 2023, Yosuke Matsuda said that cryptocurrency or Blockchain is his biggest goal among all the company's investments, despite the "volatility" it is experiencing.
Yosuke Matsuda believes he can learn from these fluctuations to improve his investments in this field. Matsuda also has a grand plan in the "Japan Priority Policy Program for Achieving a Digital Society," a plan signed in June 2022 to use NFTs in conjunction with blockchain technology.
Matsuda believes the ups and downs of cryptocurrencies will make them more attractive to more gamers. Square Enix now has titles based on these technologies in development, and this appears to be the next stage of investment that will take the industry to a whole new level.
Do you think, dear reader, that you will support him or do you see gaps in him that have not yet been exposed?
