Minecraft-linked developers draw up pledge for NFT and digital asset engagement

Over the weekend, Climate Replay, which comprises developers from the Mojang Group, the maker of the popular series, posted a pledge regarding the responsible integration of nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, and digital currencies into gaming.

“Games give us hope in a world that is increasingly uncertain. They help us unlock our creative potential and free us of real-world constraints — physical, financial or otherwise,” the team at Climate Replay said. However, they cautioned about the current state of digital assets intertwining with gaming:

1. Brings meaningful value to players [through digital assets].
2. Does not make use of technology that is intentionally inefficient, resulting in a concrete, significant environmental impact.
3. Does not embrace artificial scarcity to generate speculative value.
4. Does not rely on unregulated, volatile cryptocurrency.
5. Does not disproportionately benefit early adopters or wealthier users/players.
6. [Is] implemented with transparency and takes concerns from studio members seriously.
