In a blog post Wednesday Mojang stated that NFTs don't match Minecraft's values and therefore aren't allowed in the game. "The speculation about pricing and investment mindset that surrounds NFTs take the focus away from the game and encourages profiteering, which we believe is incompatible with the long-term joy and success of our players," the company said. "To ensure that Minecraft players have a safe and inclusive experience, blockchain technology is not permitted to be used into our Minecraft client or server applications and they are not permitted to be used to create NFTs for any in-game content," the company said. NFTs are a tense subject among gamers, who've pushed back on initiatives from Ubisoft and other publishers aimed at incorporating the technology into their games. The game was acquired by Microsoft in 2014 for $2.5 billion, Minecraft is the best-selling game ever, with lifetime sales of more than 238 million units. The game's success can be attributable to its emphasis on accessibility and being family-friendly.jasonotto
