In a tweet, the indie game marketplace revealed that they were asked about what they think of NFTs. They replied by saying that NFTs are a scam, while also calling out those who believe they’re “legitimately useful”.
A few have asked about our stance on NFTs:
NFTs are a scam. If you think they are legitimately useful for anything other than the exploitation of creators, financial scams, and the destruction of the planet the we ask that please reevaluate your life choices.
Peace ✌️

According to Kotaku, the people behind the marketplace likely didn’t lose much by making the pronouncement. As a hub for indie content, they don’t have a lot in the way of big corporate sponsorships or anything else similar. In other words, they don’t stand to lose much by calling out NFTs.
Aside from that, they also didn’t hold back on calling out companies which support or endorse non-fungible tokens, writes PCGamesN. According to them, these companies “only care about their own profit,” given that there’s a lot of arguments about the alleged problems of NFTs as a whole.
