Roundtable #26 - Massively Multiplayer On-Chain Games, Ubisoft announces AAA NFTs & Moon Active raises $300m

What is a MMOCG or Massively Multiplayer On-Chain Game? How does it work? What can we do with it? Is this going to be a thing?

Find out this and more in this week’s roundtable!

In this Metacast episode, Florian Ziegler, David Amor and Matej Lancaric are joined by your host Nicolas Vereecke to discuss;

 

Massively Multiplayer On-Chain Games

MMOCGs are games that are both Open-Source and Open-State. The whole game lives completely on the blockchain, which has some profound and interesting consequences. 

 

Ubisoft takes a first step into NFTs

Ubisoft announced the first implementation of blockchain technology into one of its games with the addition of NFTs to the PC version of Ghost Recon Breakpoint. The response was overwhelmingly negative, and the company removed the announcement video from YouTube. The move feels like a conservative experiment into NFTs, and we can only applaud Ubisoft for being the first AAA publisher to do it.

 

Moon Active raises $300m at a $5b valuation

Moon Active, the maker of Coin Master, is killing it. The company is not afraid to experiment with different types of games, and it’s paying off. We’re curious to see what they’ll do with this war chest!

 

 

As this week’s bonus segment, we are giving bold predictions about Ubisoft.
