According to TechFlow, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said that "Fortnite" may use blockchain in the future, but will not use cryptocurrency or NFT transactions. He emphasized that the "basic concept" of blockchain has potential and may serve as a decentralized database solution.
Sweeney noted that blockchain’s popularity due to cryptocurrencies may have damaged its long-term reputation. He said that blockchain has failed to fully develop in the purely technical community and has instead been viewed as a financial tool, which has led to issues such as speculation, scams and regulatory uncertainty that have seriously affected its value.
