Ubisoft: NFTs in games is actually a good thing, gamers just don't get it yet
https://www.neowin.net/news/ubisoft-nfts-in-games-is-actually-a-good-thing-gamers-just-don039t-get-it-yet/
Ubisoft is one of the few game companies that have decided to dive into the blockchain and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) space. And while the gaming community appears to be largely in opposition to this decision, there are, of course, people who support the endeavor as well. When you're making a controversial move, one thing that you should be careful of, as a big company, is to not antagonize the other side completely. However, Ubisoft seems to be doing the exact opposite.

Valorant's Killjoy briefly enjoyed an NFT, but Riot says it was a 'whoopsie'

Killjoy is one of Valorant's most beloved playable characters, and it's easy to see why: she is a genius, she looks cool, is from Berlin, and in a canny bit of cross-promotion, is a proven fan of League of Legends. She loves robots and has an overall cheerful personality. So far, so unimpeachable.
>>Sure, sure, a "mistake".
Hitman 3 goes on sale, then off sale, in Epic's Lunar New Year Sale

There was expectation, or at least a sense of hope, that Hitman 3 would get a hefty discount in the Steam Lunar New Year Sale that kicked off today. Many fans were unhappy about the game launching on Steam at full price last week after a year of Epic Store exclusivity, and have been expressing their discontent with negative user reviews; the reaction was strong enough that IO announced earlier today that anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to February 19 will be upgraded to the next-higher edition for free. The price remained unchanged, however.

Crytek ramping up workforce for Crysis 4, is hiring 23 developers
https://www.tweaktown.com/news/84249/crytek-ramping-up-workforce-for-crysis-4-is-hiring-23-developers/index.html
Crysis 4 is officially happening. Instead of announcing the game with a splash at E3 or The Game Awards, Crytek instead used Crysis 4's announcement for recruitment. It's so early that Crytek isn't trying to build hype yet--it's trying to build a workforce. Blizzard just did the same thing with the announcement of its new fantasy IP.
>>Also says not to expect it until 2024, great! By then maybe GPUs will be available at reasonable prices.
