Topic: Google Play updates its policies permitting blockchain games and apps - page 2. (Read 279 times)

Everyone is speculating and believing that it's going to be after the halving of Bitcoin.

While the craze for P2E and NFT games has been so great during the past bull run. If there will be involvement of bigger names and companies aside from Google allows this, then it is for sure that there will be a significant effect on these specific projects that have their own markets and the same goes for the bigger market. This could be one of the driving forces that will push it again to the positive angle of the market prior to the bull run.

By the way, Sony recently joined the run, the next bull run is a matter of time. 100%

Quite an interesting timing, considering Google has recently allowed advertisements which refer to cryptocurrencies and Non fungible tokens.

In my eyes, Google is doing this because they have realized there is much potential for earnings of they decide to lax those ad rules.
Also, since the market of NFTs has already decreased in a substantial way, it is a bit less likely some scammer will try to pull a big scheme off in order to defraud millions. Many of them have already moved to Artificial Intelligence (the newest buzzword).

Let us just wait and hope Google has some intention to provide some filters to this new policy, so scammers won't have it easier to pull the rug under us.

But have you asked yourself why they don't do it if it's such a game changer? Because the average person, when he needs money, goes to work and when he needs relaxation, he plays a computer game. Attempts to explain to him that items obtained in the game can be in the form of NFTs and tranfered on blockcha... (this is where the average person's attention ends and if the game is not already turned on, a negative review on Steam is sent, the money is refunded and another game is purchased).

Moreover, in my opinion, blockchain is used where trust is not enough. That's why bitcoin is a great invention, because storing your life savings in something over which another entity has complete control is not the best solution. However, this is not the case with computer games and computer games items. Steam Community Market where you can trade knives from CSgo is more than a dream come true for an ordinary player and the risk that steam will run away with the knives and leave players without these "valuable skins" is zero. None of them will pay extra 5$ eth transaction fee to be sure his skin is on blackchain and no one will steal it as long as his 12 words are safe.

In 2050-2100, when whole world will be gamified NFT in AAA games will be a must have. Not in 2023-2050.

Casino games are a big problem for P2E creators. While I don't see any positive effect from it let's wait and see what happens.

I thought a large font would be easier to read. Thanks for the advice I appreciate it.

Partially, I agree with you about wallet creation and minimizing barriers to NFT adoption. However, cryptocurrency is definitely going to become more mainstream and when AAA games will implement crypto it will be a game-changing moment for the industry.

first of all, stop making posts that are entirely in large font. All you achieve is that your post looks like shit that's hard to read.

Secondly, what would most increase the adoption of NFTs in games would be to find the utility that people actually need and wants to use and not that the NFT creators want to force on them.
When someone play mobile game, he just wants to downloads a new game and start playing by pressing on the screen and making the bird jump. they don't want to set 12/24 words, top up their etherum account to handle transactions, but first buy ETH on the crypto exchange, and so they can start playing in just 3 days as soon as the transfer arrives from his bank to binance.

There were already crypto app/games with NFTs on google play store before this announce AFAIK. But apps that can make users wager, I think is more appealing to users that could lead to adoption. They still are suppressing this kind of apps so, there might just be no effect at all after this announcement.

But those casino apps, may get around of this kind of policy. The Utopia project does have a poker game in their app, they may be able to update their app now for playing casino games to be available.

Google Play has updated its store policy to allow for new ways to transact blockchain-based digital content within apps and games. The move comes as a response to the growing interest in non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other tokenized digital assets, which offer unique and engaging experiences for users.

Updates to Cryptocurrencies and related products policy (August 2023)

Google provides translated versions of our Help Center, though they are not meant to change the content of our policies. The English version is the official language we use to enforce our policies. To view this article in a different language, use the language dropdown at the bottom of the page.

In September 2023, Google will update the Cryptocurrencies and related products policy to clarify the scope and requirements for the advertisement of blockchain- based games involving NFTs.
Beginning September 15, 2023, advertisers offering FT games that do not promote gambling-related content may advertise those products and services when they meet the following requirements and are certified by Google.

Promotion of blockchain-based games involving NFTs.

Examples: NFT games that allow players to purchase in-game items, like virtual apparel for a player's characters, weaponry, or armor with better stats, consumed or used in a game to enhance a user's experience or aid users in advancing the game.

For NFT games, the following are not allowed:

* Promotion of games where players can wager or stake NFTs in exchange for the opportunity to win anything of real-world value (including other NFTs).
Examples (non-exhaustive): Games that allow players to stake NFTs in exchange for fungible tokens such as cryptocurrencies.

* Promotion of social casino games that reward NFT.

* Examples (non-exhaustive): Simulated casino gambling (for example, poker, slots or roulette) that offer the opportunity to win NFTs.
( Promotion of "real money gambling" destinations. This includes gambling-related advertisements that appear on your game's destination.

Do you believe that this update from Google Play will drive the adoption of NFTs in mobile games?
