Epic says it’s ‘open’ to blockchain games after Steam bans them
新聞本文：
Epic tells The Verge that it’s “open to games that support cryptocurrency
or blockchain-based assets” on its game store, unlike its competitor Valve
which has banned games that feature blockchain technology or NFTs from Steam.
When we asked about allowing games that featured NFTs, Epic told us there’d
be some limitations, but that it’s willing to work with “early developers”
in the “new field.”
Epic 告訴 The Verge，它在其遊戲商店中“對支持加密貨幣或基於區塊鏈資產的遊戲開
放”，與其競爭對手 Valve 不同，後者已禁止 Steam 使用區塊鏈技術或 NFT 的遊戲。
當我們問及允許使用 NFT 的遊戲時，Epic 告訴我們會有一些限制，但它願意與“新領域
”的“早期開發者”合作。
Epic says that the games would have to comply with financial laws, make it
clear how the blockchain is used, and have appropriate age ratings. It also
says that developers won’t be able to use Epic’s payment service to accept
crypto; they would have to use their own payment systems instead.
Epic 表示，遊戲必須遵守金融法，明確區塊鏈的使用方式，並具有適當的年齡分級。它
還表示開發人員將無法使用 Epic 的支付服務來接受加密；他們將改用自己的支付系統。
EPIC WILL CLARIFY ITS RULES IN THE FUTURE
EPIC 將在未來闡明其規則
Epic’s CEO Tim Sweeney has said that the company isn’t interested in
touching NFTs, but that statement now appears to only apply to its own games.
Epic tells The Verge that it will clarify the rules as it works with
developers to understand how they plan to use blockchain tech in their games.
Sweeney also tweeted some additional thoughts after we published this story:
he says Epic welcomes “innovation in the areas of technology and finance,”
and suggests that blockchain isn’t inherently good or bad.
Epic 的首席執行官 Tim Sweeney曾表示，該公司對接觸 NFT 不感興趣，但該聲明現在似
乎只適用於自己的遊戲。 Epic 告訴 The Verge，它將在與開發人員合作以了解他們計劃
如何在遊戲中使用區塊鏈技術時澄清規則。在我們發表這個故事後，斯威尼還在推特上發
表了一些額外的想法：他說 Epic 歡迎“技術和金融領域的創新”，並暗示區塊鏈本質上
沒有好壞之分。
None of this means that developers spurned by Steam can rush out and throw
their game up on the Epic Game Store. Currently, Epic’s self-publishing
program is in closed beta, and Epic’s FAQ says it chooses who can join on a
“case-by-case basis.” Epic, however, has shown itself to be a fairly
permissive platform owner — something that became a point of contention in
its trial with Apple when lawyers brought up the “offensive and sexualized”
games that were available on Itch.io, a game store accessible on Epic’s game
store.
這並不意味著被 Steam 唾棄的開發者可以沖出並在 Epic 遊戲商店上架他們的遊戲。目
前，Epic 的自出版計劃處於封閉測試階段，Epic 的常見問題解答表示它會根據“具體情
況”選擇誰可以加入。然而，Epic 已經證明自己是一個相當寬容的平台所有者——當律
師提出在 Itch.io 上提供的“攻擊性和性化”遊戲時，這成為了與蘋果的審判中的一個
爭論點，Itch.io是一個遊戲商店，在 Epic 的遊戲商店可以被訪問。
Allowing games that Steam bans is another way that Epic could compete with
Valve. Epic has already shown that it’s willing to make big bets trying to
make its store a major player in the PC gaming space, and this could be
another play to get some gamers or developers on its side. Some NFT fans
immediately looked to Epic after the news about Steam broke. Enjin, a company
that helps developers integrate NFTs into their products (including
SpacePirate, who tweeted about their game being taken off of Steam) retweeted
our Steam article, and tagged Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, asking to talk. It seems
now they have at least one question answered.
允許 Steam 禁止的遊戲是 Epic 與 Valve 競爭的另一種方式。 Epic 已經表明，它願意
下大賭注，試圖使其商店成為 PC 遊戲領域的主要參與者，這可能是讓一些遊戲玩家或開
發者站在其一邊的另一種玩法。在有關 Steam 的消息傳出後，一些 NFT 粉絲立即將目光
投向了 Epic。 Enjin 是一家幫助開發人員將 NFT 集成到他們產品中的公司（包括
SpacePirate，他在 Twitter 上說他們的遊戲已從 Steam 下架）轉發了我們的 Steam 文
章，並標記了 Epic 首席執行官 Tim Sweeney，要求交談。現在他們似乎至少回答了一個
問題。
