Valve似乎已将其Steam规则和指南列表更新为有效禁止包含加密货币和 NFT 的游戏。 Cryptocurrency is a hot topic, not just in general but within the video game industry. There are an increasing number of games advertising their ties to the blockchain, or hinting at ways of rewarding cryptocurrency or NFT prizes. Despite a very vocal minority of crypto-fans, however, the technology remains highly controversial due to environmental concerns, market volatility, and seemingly everpresent scams. It's perhaps no surprise then that Valve has decided to ban blockchain games from being sold on Steam. 加密货币是一个热门话题，不仅在一般情况下，而且在电子游戏行业中也是如此。越来越 多的游戏宣传其与区块链的联系，或暗示奖励加密货币或 NFT 奖品的方式。然而，尽管 少数加密货币爱好者非常直言不讳，但由於环境问题、市场波动和看似无处不在的骗局， 该技术仍然极具争议。 Valve 决定禁止在 Steam 上销售区块链游戏也就不足为奇了。 The news comes from Age of Rust developer SpacePirate Games. Age of Rust is a blockchain-integrated adventure game where players can collect in-game NFTs by solving puzzles. In a Twitter thread, SpacePirate Games says that it was clear and communicative with Valve about the nature of the game, only to be told that Age of Rust would be removed from Steam. SpacePirate Games was told that Steam does not allow games to include items with real-world value on the platform. 该消息来自《铁锈时代》开发商 SpacePirate Games。 Age of Rust 是一款集成区块链 的冒险游戏，玩家可以通过解谜来收集游戏中的 NFT。在 Twitter 帖子中， SpacePirate Games 表示与 Valve 就游戏的性质进行了明确和沟通，只是被告知《铁锈 时代》将从 Steam 中删除。 SpacePirate Games 被告知 Steam 不允许游戏在平台上包 含具有现实价值的物品。 In its first tweet, SpacePirate Games links a list of Rules and Guidelines from Steam, which consists of 13 rules regarding what shouldn't be published on Steam. The rules are mostly rather standard, banning hate speech, sexually explicit images of real people, and regionally illegal content. The latest rule, rule number thirteen, is specific to blockchain technology. It says that all applications built on blockchain technology, and here's the key part, that "issue or allow the exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs" shouldn't be published on Steam. SpacePirate Games 在其第一条推文中链接了来自 Steam 的规则和指南列表，其中包含 13 条关於不应在 Steam 上发布的内容的规则。这些规则大多相当标准，禁止仇恨言论、 真人的色情图片以及区域性非法内容。最新规则第十三条规则是针对区块链技术的。它说 所有基於区块链技术的应用程序，这里是关键部分，“发行或允许加密货币或 NFT 的交 换”不应该在 Steam 上发布。 It actually isn't clear when Valve officially banned games featuring cryptocurrency or NFTs. The rules and guidelines may have been updated some time ago, but is only now having attention called to it. Valve's had a tumultuous relationship with cryptocurrency in the past. In 2017, Valve announced it would no longer accept Bitcoin as a payment method due to volatility in transaction costs. A year later Valve banned a developer whose game secretly farmed cryptocurrency. 目前尚不清楚 Valve 何时正式禁止以加密货币或 NFT 为特色的游戏。规则和指南可能已 经更新了一段时间，但直到现在才引起注意。 Valve 过去与加密货币有着动荡的关系。 2017 年，由於交易成本的波动，Valve 宣布将不再接受比特币作为支付方式。一年後， Valve 禁止了一位开发者的游戏偷偷地农加密货币。 Suffice to say, Valve has good reason to be nervous about not just the nature of blockchain technology in video games, but also the intent of the creators that use it. That said, Valve has not issued an official statement regarding games with cryptocurrency or NFTs being banned. As such, the reasons for its decision aren't entirely clear. 可以说，Valve 有充分的理由不仅担心电子游戏中区块链技术的性质，而且担心使用它的 创作者的意图。也就是说，Valve 尚未发布关於禁止使用加密货币或 NFT 的游戏的官方 声明。因此，其决定的原因尚不完全清楚。 On one hand, it's clear that blockchain technology can and has been used to scam video game players. On the other hand, Valve does allow items with real-money value in its games, like Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive cosmetics. 一方面，很明显区块链技术可以并且已经被用来欺骗电子游戏玩家。另一方面，Valve 确 实允许在其游戏中使用具有真钱价值的物品，例如Team Fortress 2 and CSGO。 --
