Valve kurucusu ve milyarder Gabe Newell, bugünlerde teknoloji ve oyun alanındaki en çok konuşulan konulardan ikisi hakkında yorum yaptı: kripto ve NFT'ler. Ile konuşmak Rock Paper Shotgun, Newell kripto/NFT alanı için heyecan ve coşku eksikliğini ikiye katladı; bu, Valve'in 2021'de kripto ve NFT öğelerine sahip oyunları yasakladığı göz önüne alındığında sürpriz olmaması gerekir.

In the new interview, Newell said the underlying technology here is “pretty reasonable,” but the implementation of what we’ve seen so far is not something the executive is interested in.

“You have to separate the underlying technology versus which actors are utilizing that technology,” Newell said. “It’s like, if you’re a chemist, and you’re looking at nitrocellulose, you’re like, ‘Oh, yeah, we can do some really interesting stuff with that.’ And then if everybody’s buying guns and shooting people with them, you’re sort of like, ‘Hey, this whole chemistry thing is great, but there are some outcomes that can be negative.’ Not to equate NFTs with shooting people, but the underlying technology of distributed ledgers, and the notion of digital ownership, and shared universes, are all pretty reasonable.”

People and companies involved with NFT projects these days are “not people you really are wanting to do business with,” Newell said, saying NFT technologies give bad actors a chance to rip off customers or take part in money laundering schemes, for example.

“It’s much more about the actors than it is about the underlying technology, or the rationale for what we’re doing,” Newell said.

As for why Steam does not allow cryptocurrency as a form of payment, Newell said this decision came down to volatility around pricing. Not only that, but cryptocurrency is often associated with fraud, Newell said. Some amount of fraud will exist on any platform, but Newell said the rates shouldn’t come out to “half of all transactions turning out to be fraudulent transactions.”
