Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts (EA), the video game company behind world-famous games such as FIFA and The Sims, said that EA will continue to evaluate the technology over time. After previously stating that it sees NFTs as part of the gaming future, EA has been a little more cautious about this in its most recent conversation with investors.
During the company’s earnings report release, CEO Andrew Wilson was once again asked what he thought of EA’s NFT and blockchain games. In his answer, Wilson mentioned that NFT investment trends are similar, with similar investments in the past including technologies like 3D, AR and VR. The CEO stressed the importance of “collectability” at the heart of EA games in both the real and virtual worlds, and said that he believes it will be an important part of EA’s future, one way or another. Wilson said:
“It remains to be seen whether this is part of NFTs and blockchain. The way we think about it is: We want to deliver the best player experience we can. We’ll assess that over time, but right now it’s not something we’re having a hard time opposing.”
