Following Ubisoft initiatives to implement NFTs via their programme Ubisoft Quartz, employees are reportedly pushing back.
In a recent report by Bloomberg, several Ubisoft employees came forward to announce their displeasure with Ubisoft’s blockchain programme Quartz. This isn’t the first time employees stood up against the NFTs, Ubisoft calls Digits. However, the company has held internal surprise meetings and made public announcements to support its decision.
Part of this support involves an interview in which Nicolas Pouvard head of the programme announced that players will understand and support Quartz “in time.” The company also gave Ghost Recon staff Digits to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary. Despite this the tide has not turned in favour of the NFTs.
Following an internal memo to staff answering “key questions about blockchain”, numerous negative messages followed. One of the first claimed it was a “deeply embarrassing day” to work for Ubisoft. Another wrote “Are we competing with EA for the ‘Most hated Game Studio by the public’ title? Because this is how you do it.”
