Indie game publisher Team17’s most famous work is the “Bug of War” series. Today, the manufacturer released a new set of NFT products, but after being criticized by players, it quickly clarified that these NFTs will not be used in any actual games. In fact, before the news was announced, even some employees inside the company didn’t know the specifics.
MetaWorms is an NFT product jointly launched by Team17 and Reality Gaming Group. MetaWorms was released on the fork chain of the Ethereum chain. Team17 stated that this set of NFTs uses less energy, and part of the handling fee will be invested in their circular farm plan.
According to media reports, the news shocked many employees at the company, and some employees who already knew about it spoke out against it. But these NFT products will not involve specific games.
Team17 introduced to the media: Team17 has licensed the “Worms of War” brand to the latest third-party partners, who can make digital art products based on these IPs, just like the physical peripheral goods on the market. They also said it has no plans to add these NFTs to any indie game.
This is not the first time NFT has been criticized in the game industry. Ubisoft is deeply touched by this, and the famous voice actor Troy Baker has also been sprayed clearly.
