    "For the first time in years, there are no blockchain gaming talks at
    GDC" https://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/for-the-first-time-in-years-there-are-no-blockchain-gaming-talks-at-gdc/


    No more NFTs in games? Now what will I make fun of?!?!?1?!?
    And everybody thought they were such a good idea too! C'mon Ubisoft,
    I'm sure you can save this party!


    In truth, while there are NFTs at the GDC, the article points out
    that, fortunately, NFTs aren't completely dead. It mentions that Sony
    still has a Web3 division, and EVE Online is also experiementing with
    EVE Frontier, a blockchain-powered game. So I'll be able to bitch
    about the topic a least a little bit longer. And in the meantime, all
    the crypto-bros have pivoted to AI and are trying their hardest to
    shove that into games, so there's that to look forward to ;-)
