If you're anything like me, the merest mention of the word "blockchain" makes your eyes glaze over. Even in 2024, I still get all sorts of press releases in my inbox about this or that game promising to utilise the awesome power of the blockchain to do… something. Enrich its owners, usually, with everything else seeming like a distant afterthought.
So consider me profoundly surprised and a little hesitant to say that I've been chatting with EVE Online developer CCP Games about EVE Frontier —"not a blockchain game, a game that utilises blockchain"—and I've come away, well, cautiously intrigued? My eyes are unglazed for now, at the very least.
