Xbox boss Phil Spencer thinks the rising interest in NFTs across the games industry is also coming with some risk for exploitation.
The executive spoke about the relatively new technology in an interview with Axios. Fully named "non-fungible tokens," proponents say they could give players the chance to generate value for the items they own in games and take them from title to title, using the same decentralized technology "blockchain" technology which has powered the recent cryptocurrency boom.
"What I'd say today on NFT, all up, is I think there's a lot of speculation and experimentation that's happening, and that some of the creative that I see today feels more exploitive than about entertainment," Spencer told Axios.
"I think anything that we looked at in our storefront that we said is exploitive would be something that we would, you know, take action on," he said. "We don't want that kind of content."
The Xbox November update brings new color filtering options and other accessibility features to Microsoft's latest consoles.
