More and more developers and companies in the world of video games are trying to get into the world of NFT, and more and more users are opposing them. And it is that just two days since Team17 revealed for the first time your MetaWorms project, the company has announced its withdrawal from this world of tokens.
Unlike the usual waves of negative reactions led by fans, this time the bulk of the detractors towards this decision by Team17 came from the company’s own development partnerswith studies like Playtonic Y Aggro Crab, as well as the workers themselves within the company. Two fields that, added to the pressure of the players, managed to get Team17 to publish a small statement on their social networks announcing the withdrawal of their short career in the NFT.
Team17 is today announcing an end to the MetaWorms NFT project.
We have listened to our Teamsters, development partners, and our games’ communities, and the concerns they’ve expressed, and have therefore taken the decision to step back from the NFT space.

We recently saw how Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts, stated at its latest earnings meeting that while they think NFTs can play a significant role in the future of the video game industry, “right now it’s not something we’re striving against«.
