Selvom at der efterhånden er rigeligt med beviser for, at NFT'er udelukkende er en måde hvorpå spiludgivere kan monetarisere deres spil yderligere, så holder udgivere som Ubisoft stadig fat i, at spillenes underholdningsværdi forøges af de her "pay-to-earn"-strukturer.
Men spørger du PlatinumGames, studiet bag blandt andet Bayonetta og Vanquish, så er det altså noget fis. I et interview med VGC tager CEO Atsushi Inaba fuldstændig afstand fra teknologien, og slår fast at der ikke er noget at vinde for forbrugeren, ved at NFT'er introduceres i spil:
"I understand it's a hot topic right now and it's really starting to gain momentum, but the way that it's gained momentum has been focused on profitability for the company, but with no positive impact on the creators or the users in any sense. So that's frustrating to see happening."
Desuden siger han også, at når NFT-folk skal pitche ideer til spiludgivere, så handler det netop ikke om værdien for spilleren, men hvor mange penge udgiveren selv vil tjene:
"The people who are trying to promote NFTs and partner with gaming companies, their conversations seem extremely one-sided. 'Hey, you're going to make money!'. But how does it benefit the user or the creator? If I want to spend my time on something, I want it to benefit making good games."
