Corporations continue to invest in NFTs despite such vocal community backlash. For instance, Ubisoft infamously doubled down on its opinion, claiming that its users but don't understand its potential. Developers have as well voiced their opinions, with the team behind Going Nether existence the latest to decry the controversial trend.

In the wake of Team17 announcing a series of collectible Worms NFTs, Aggro Crab Games responded through a Twitter mail, calling them a "grift." Despite the condemnation of this business conclusion, the independent programmer was quick to rally for support in favor of any people working underneath that label.

Aggro Crab understands that these sorts of decisions are oftentimes fabricated by people high up along the concatenation, meaning that the opinions of the people underneath them weren't considered. Many of Team17'south staff were reportedly unaware of the decision until after information technology was made for them. Because of this, Aggro Crab'due south post urges people to refrain from harassing Team17 or whatsoever studios working underneath them.

The post ends with a statement that Aggro Crab will non involve itself with Team17 on any future titles, urging other indies to follow suit unless the company reverses its stance. The publisher has tried to altitude itself past claiming that it doesn't plan to innovate NFTs into any of its games, simply supporting them, in general, is enough reason to be concerned.
