Epic and Steam: What’s the difference in gaming?

Last week’s biggest crypto news came from beyond the crypto community. Steam, one the largest online game distributors, stunned the industry by announcing that they will not allow gaming projects featuring blockchain, NFTs or crypto within their virtual store. The company updated its policies and added: “Applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs,” to the list of what may not be published on the platform.

Epic Games Store was open to all of the Valve’s abandoned players. However, they warned projects to be fully compliant with financial laws, have a clear blockchain usage policy, be 18+, and to use their own payment systems instead of Epic’s.

Epic Games Store is open to games that use blockchain tech, provided they adhere to the applicable laws and terms. Although Epic does not use crypto, it welcomes innovation in finance and technology. https://t.co/6W7hb8zJBw

Enjin published a negative opinion piece on their blog in response to the events. The article opened with the line “A lost Gameboy nudged one of my colleagues to join Enjin,” and a story about the lost Charizard on the Gameboy.

• It’s very likely that Ubisoft will continue investing in blockchain companies. On the other hand, they won’t be switching their own games over to blockchain in order to stay risk-free.
