According to the Game Developer Conference’s (GDC) State of the Game Industry 2023 report, which surveyed more than 2,300 game developers, game makers do not believe in the promise of the metaverse. They also don’t hold much stock in blockchain technology. The game industry can be opaque to onlookers, as employees are bound by nondisclosure agreements and keep company secrets close to the vest. Only 2% of developers said they were already using blockchain technology, while 75% said they were not interested. Developers were also asked about being harassed by players, and 91% of respondents agreed that player harassment against developers was an issue.
