Team17 is abandoning plans to launch an NFT collection inspired by the Worms video game franchise.
The publisher was planning to release a range of collectibles inspired by characters from the series, which has been running since 1995. Part of the proceeds would be donated to Coin4Planet, a blockchain-based organization that offers a range of sustainability initiatives. But the announcement went down badly with Team17's community, with one video game developer declaring that it would refuse to work with the company again unless the push into NFTs was abandoned altogether."We at Ghost Town Games just wanted to reassure you all that Overcooked will never engage with NFTs. We don't support NFTs. We think they carry too great an environmental and social cost.
A Eurogamer suggested that staff members within Team17 had also raised concerns about the plans to launch NFTs, but their disapproval fell on deaf ears.Listen to the CoinMarketRecap podcast on
