And to get it right, Sega bought shares in the Double Jump company. Tokyo, specializing in the development of NFT games and the blockchain.
Together, they will ensure to provide various ways for players to acquire NFTs in future Sega creations, but also to enjoy them outside of games.
Sega wants to “explore the means to effectively use NFT on content owned by players”.
