Ubisoft just lately launched the Quartz NFT platform as a option to monetize recreation properties, one thing that did not precisely go over properly with both customers or employees. Now, it seems that the trouble is a monetary bust thus far, too, as the corporate reportedly bought simply 15 NFTs of a Ghost Recon Breakpoint gun pores and skin as of yesterday, Eurogamer reported. It seems to have bought two more M4A1 tactical weapons and one “Wolf Enhance Pants #76” for a complete of 18 as of at present. 

Apex Legends senior character artist Liz Edwards tweeted that she appeared on the two third-party marketplaces linked to the Quartz websites “and there seems to be… 15 sales in total?” That works out to about $1,755.30 in income, as Eurogamer famous. As of at present, Ubisoft seems to have minted about someplace north of three,000 NFTs.

Ubisoft launched the primary three Ghost Recon Breakpoint Editions without cost, with the weapon requiring XP Level 4, the helmet larger than 600 hours of play time, and the pants at the very least 100 hours of play time. Those went fairly shortly and the declare interval ended, so the one option to get them now’s to pay. 

As some critics have identified, Breakpoint does not have essentially the most alluring visible aesthetic, so it appears an odd option to kick off an NFT for visible collectibles. On the opposite hand, Ubisoft could have been simply dipping its toe into the water with considered one of its much less high-profile, although nonetheless common franchises. 

For the minimal cash collected thus far, nonetheless, the trouble could have accomplished extra hurt than good. Ubisoft reportedly alienated its personal French commerce union, which called NFTs “a useless, costly, ecologically mortifying tech.”
