The Japanese multinational video game and entertainment company – Sega Corporation – revealed it will launch its “Super Game” initiative. The latter will encompass several different games, as some of them will include NFT technology, producer Masayoshi Kikuchi said.
Sega joins the NFT League
Over the past few months, non-fungible tokens have become a very intriguing part of the cryptocurrency industry. Digital collectibles quickly caught the attention of many celebrities and big-name companies.
In a recent interview, VP Shuji Utsumi and Producer Masayoshi Kikuchi disclosed that Sega could be the latest giant organization to hop on the NFT bandwagon.
Utsumi revealed that the company will introduce its “Super Game”, which will offer a wide range of game content, including hardware and arcade elements. The executive claimed that the game has changed in recent years because currently “there is great potential in the relationship between people who play and watch games”. As such, Sega is looking to create new entertainment within these opportunities, Utsumi added.
Commenting on the matter was also Masayoshi Kikuchi – Producer at the company. He believes gaming has a “history of expansion” via the connection of various cultures and technologies. He pointed out the interaction between social networking and game video viewing as a recent example.
Addressing NFTs, Kikuchi sees Sega’s engagement with digital collectibles as a “natural extension for the future of gaming:”
“It’s a natural extension for the future of gaming that it will expand to involve new areas such as cloud gaming and NFTs. We are also developing SuperGame from the perspective of how far different games can be connected to each other.”
The creator of PlayStation is not passionate about the digital world
PlayStation inventor – Ken Kutaragi is another popular part of the gaming industry to comment on the growing global digitalization. Specifically, he aired his thoughts on the Metaverse.
In January this year, he described it as “pointless” while arguing the VR headsets are “simply annoying.” The Japanese went further, claiming that the Metaverse does not represent the next big step in the tech world. It has rather dividing functions than unifying:
“Being in the real world is very important, but the metaverse is about making the virtual world almost real, and I don’t see the point of doing that. Would you rather be a polite avatar than your true self? It is essentially no different from anonymous messaging sites.
