Epic Welcomes Blockchain Games [Oct 16, 2021, 11:49 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney takes the opportunity presented by
the indication that
Steam may ban games based on blockchain technology to announce that the Epic
Games Store will not. In a
couple
of tweets he outlines this stance, saying games still must comply with the
law:
Epic Games Store will welcome games that make use of blockchain tech provided they follow the relevant laws, disclose their terms, and are age-rated by an appropriate group. Though Epic's not using crypto in our games, we welcome innovation in the areas of technology and finance.
As a technology, the blockchain is just a distributed transactional database with a decentralized business model that incentivize investment in hardware to expand the database's capacity. This has utility whether or not a particular use of it succeeds or fails.

Sweeny is an interesting study, sometimes he leads the charge against modern absurdities like Crapples move to own all microtransactions, other times he just blows total moronic BS he has no clue about.
Some fold confuse secrecy with privacy and security. They are not the same thing, and promoting anonomous secrecy is highly subversive and only serves to nurture evil and chaos.
