As gaming companies pile into NFTs, EA may have an advantage

Electronic Arts was not the only gaming company this season to announce its intentions to dive into NFTs and play-to-earn gaming, but it may have a leg up on the competition.

During an earnings call this week, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said that the company was looking into NFTs and play-to-earn models that could involve cryptocurrency, calling the innovation “part of our future,” while noting the space is very young.

“Anything that brings more people in and engages those people for more time in the context of the entertainment it would create I think it’s a good thing over time. I think that is the very foundation of our live services,” Wilson said. “I think the play-to-earn or the NFT conversation is still really, really early, and there’s a lot of conversation. And there’s at some level, a lot of hype about it,” said Wilson.
