Atari has played a huge role in introducing video games to the public in the 70s, selling millions of consoles and games. CEO Frederic Chesnais now hopes that Atari can introduce a new revolution in the development of games with blockchain technology.
Talking about GamesBeat, the game channel of VentureBeat, Chesnais answered questions about the new Atari blockchain agreement with Animoca Brands, with whom they will work to develop blockchain iterations of their hit games RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch and Goon Squad.
The CEO of Atari sees no pitfalls with blockchain technology, he said GamesBeat, "I think blockchain is here to stay, it's here to stay in many companies: finance, identity and even games".
His company is first and foremost a game development company now, and Chesnais is strongly focused on how blockchain technology can help revolutionize the way developers monetize their work. He elaborated, "Let's say I create a one-minute piece of music or an environment or an animation or a character, an avatar With blockchain, you'll be able to tag that good, identify and track it, especially with things like music, animation or characters, if it's used along a path or in two games, if it's sold five or 10 or a million times, we'll be able to track it down. "
This is not Atari's first hit in the blockchain industry. Atari announced last year that they had started working on two new cryptocurrencies for internal use.
This resource tracking application is extremely necessary for industry. It was a great signal from game journalists, in particular from Jim Sterling, about the proliferation of flipping and theft assets as it became easier to publish games on platforms like Steam. The developers make a lot of effort in creating these resources and seeing them not accredited or unpaid, because their work is criminal. This application of blockchain technology will help solve the problem.
Bitcoin SV's Metanet will also be very useful to solve problems like this. It will revolutionize the way we interact with the Internet, allowing users to collaborate and monetize their work and completely prevent this type of intellectual theft.
For now though, Chesnais sees a very specific application of the technology for RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch, explaining, "For the moment, what we have in mind is something like, you create a coaster, mix it with another coaster, and then, you can share it or exchange it or sell it and build your own collection of coasters.This is one of the applications we are working on. "
