It seems, like another great video game publishers, Sega is also interested in including NFTs in future games, as revealed in an interview with various executives and producers. During the same interview, Sega spoke more about its “Super Game” projects, confirming that it will be more than one game and some of it may involve streaming and cloud gaming.
The interview was posted last month on Sega’s recruitment and careers website, but was recently discovered and translated by VGC. In the interview, numerous Sega producers and executives shared more details about the “SuperGame” initiative. which the company first vaguely revealed late last yearright And it seems that NFTs could be involved.
According to Sega Executive Vice President Shuji Utsumi, Super Game refers to more than a game and will be a kind of banner under which some future versions will be developed. According to Utsumi, “SuperGames” will be “AAA titles that cross SEGA’s extensive array of technologies” and be part of a larger five-year plan.
According to Utsumi, “multiple titles” are being developed under this super game “framework,” though each title can be very different. He explained that all will be “interactive titles that go beyond the traditional framework of games”. Sega execs cited the rise of streaming and people watching people play on Twitch as examples of how gaming has changed in recent years.
“I think there is great potential in the relationship between people who play and watch games,” Utsumi added. “We’re thinking about creating new entertainment within those possibilities.”
And yes, it seems like some of those “SuperGames” might be included NFTsas Sega producer Masayoshi Kikuchi explained in part of the interview.
“Gaming has a history of expanding by connecting different cultures and technologies,” said Kikuchi. “For example, social networking and watching game videos are recent examples.
“It’s a natural extension for the future of gaming that it will expand into new areas like cloud gaming and NFTs. We are also developing SuperGame with a view to how far different games can be connected together.”
Once again we have another example of a company we are talking about NFTs in vague statements that don’t mean much more than “Wow, that could be nice” or “Who knows!? A day…”.

A recent example: A hacker stole over 600 million Axe Infinity due to a security vulnerability. But because there is money to be made, big game companies will continue to move forward, even blame their fans because you don’t get NFTs, while continuing to ignore all criticism and backlash in the name of make a few quick bucks. Poor Sonic, you deserve better.
