Many individuals in the gaming industry dedicate their valuable time to sifting through patents to find clues of what might be coming. This time, one patent from Sony hints at the company's potentially controversial plans.
As discovered by SegmentNext in this document, Sony is looking into the possibility of exchanging non-fungible tokens across an NFT framework.
As recently as last year, mainstream media was NFT-crazy. Influencers, popular celebrities, sports figures, and even billionaires, fawned over the new technology / medium. Then, the NFT market collapsed and, just like that, public opinion on these digital blockchain-stored goods soured.
If nothing else, it's interesting that Sony is patenting a system that would let gamers transfer an NFT from one platform to another. In addition to this, the patent hints at letting players trade NFTs with each other.
