[QUOTE="Admin, post: 53899, member: 1"] Games that feature blockchain technology that allows for the exchange of NFTs or cryptocurrency will no longer be allowed on Steam. According to a new rule on [URL='https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/gettingstarted/onboarding']Steam's partner onboarding page[/URL], Valve says distributors shouldn't publish, "applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs." Age of Rust, a game that involves players collecting in-game NFTs, [URL='https://twitter.com/SpacePirate_io/status/1448713803680473089?s=20']says[/URL] Steam informed them that they're kicking "all blockchain games off the platform, including Age of Rust, because NFTs have value." NFT stands for "non-fungible token," and they are digital assets that are sold and bought online. NFTs can take many forms, but they have become increasingly popular as digital art. Artists can create a piece of digital artwork, register it as an NFT, and sell a limited number of them. You can think of it as building a collection of paintings, trading cards, or other collectibles, only in the digital space. In video games, NFTs could take the form of in-game collectibles, skins, and more. According to Age of Rust, Steam doesn't want to allow items on the platform that can have real-world value. IGN has reached out to Valve for comment, and we will update this article when we hear back. For more on Valve, check out our [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-hands-on-impressions-details-valve-handheld-gaming-pc']impressions of the Steam Deck[/URL], Valve's handheld gaming PC.
