A few weeks ago, prolific voice actor Troy Baker announced plans to turn his phonation into an NFT. Predictably, this led to heavy backlash, and now Bakery has walked back the idea.

In an update on Twitter, Baker thanked fans for the "feedback," which is undoubtedly a diplomatic way to mention all the negative comments the initial idea received. "Careful consideration" led him to break things off with VoiceVerseNFT, abandoning the NFT programme altogether. Bakery also apologized to those he defendant of "hating" for disagreeing with the NFT idea — a straight reference to the original announcement, when he said, "you can hate, or you can create." Apparently, in that location's a 3rd option: denote a thing, then jump ship when Twitter tells y'all it's a bad thought.

Troy Bakery is far from the merely name in video games exploring the idea of NFTs. Ubisoft'south Quartz program launched last yr, but initial sales are proving sluggish. While Quartz offers NFT cosmetics similar Ghost Recon Breakpoint gun skins, it seems well-nigh of the gaming earth is uninterested in the concept. Konami auctioned off 14 NFTs a few weeks agone and garnered $155,000, which sounds similar a potent number until you lot compare it to the money that actual game hardware and software bring in. It's easy to see why near game devs are more interested in unionization than NFTs.
