Epic Games Store CEO stands up for NFT games

Tim Sweeney, CEO of the Epic Games Store, stated that the company has no intention of giving up on non-fungible token initiatives (NFTs).

Sweeney reiterated the firm's policy in response to a Twitter user's request to "get rid of every game in the store."

"You should have the freedom to choose whether or not to play the games that developers produce. I think designers of businesses and operating systems should refrain from interfering and forcing their opinions. Without a doubt, we won't," he wrote.
