[The Verge] Game developers aren’t so hot on NFTs, the metaverse, or huge acquisitions (GDC Dev Survey)

https://www.theverge.com/23562296/gdc-2023-survey-microsoft-blizzard-activision-nft-unionization

The latest GDC survey reveals that many creators have little to no interest in some of gaming's biggest buzzwords.​

Of the 2,300 respondents to the survey, 75 percent of them marked "not interested" when asked if their studio was interested in blockchain technology. When asked how their opinion on Web3 had changed from last year, 56 percent said they weren't interested then and still aren't now
When asked to rank which companies are most likely to deliver a true metaverse, 14 percent responded with Epic Games, double that of Meta and Minecraft.
Over 50 percent of respondents support unionization, with over 20 percent saying they've discussed unionization efforts at work.
Speaking of Microsoft, the company's attempt to unhinge its jaw and swallow Activision Blizzard whole is concerning to the developers surveyed. Only 17 percent of respondents think major acquisitions like this one will benefit the industry, with 44 percent saying it will have a negative impact.
