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 告诉 The Verge，它在其游戏商店中“对支持加密货币或基於区块链资产的游戏开 放”，与其竞争对手 Valve 不同，後者已禁止 Steam 使用区块链技术或 NFT 的游戏。 当我们问及允许使用 NFT 的游戏时，Epic 告诉我们会有一些限制，但它愿意与“新领域 ”的“早期开发者”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，游戏必须遵守金融法，明确区块链的使用方式，并具有适当的年龄分级。它 还表示开发人员将无法使用 Epic 的支付服务来接受加密；他们将改用自己的支付系统。 EPIC WILL CLARIFY ITS RULES IN THE FUTURE EPIC 将在未来阐明其规则 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 的首席执行官 Tim Sweeney曾表示，该公司对接触 NFT 不感兴趣，但该声明现在似 乎只适用於自己的游戏。 Epic 告诉 The Verge，它将在与开发人员合作以了解他们计划 如何在游戏中使用区块链技术时澄清规则。在我们发表这个故事後，斯威尼还在推特上发 表了一些额外的想法：他说 Epic 欢迎“技术和金融领域的创新”，并暗示区块链本质上 没有好坏之分。 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. 这并不意味着被 Steam 唾弃的开发者可以冲出并在 Epic 游戏商店上架他们的游戏。目 前，Epic 的自出版计划处於封闭测试阶段，Epic 的常见问题解答表示它会根据“具体情 况”选择谁可以加入。然而，Epic 已经证明自己是一个相当宽容的平台所有者——当律 师提出在 Itch.io 上提供的“攻击性和性化”游戏时，这成为了与苹果的审判中的一个 争论点，Itch.io是一个游戏商店，在 Epic 的游戏商店可以被访问。 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. 允许 Steam 禁止的游戏是 Epic 与 Valve 竞争的另一种方式。 Epic 已经表明，它愿意 下大赌注，试图使其商店成为 PC 游戏领域的主要参与者，这可能是让一些游戏玩家或开 发者站在其一边的另一种玩法。在有关 Steam 的消息传出後，一些 NFT 粉丝立即将目光 投向了 Epic。 Enjin 是一家帮助开发人员将 NFT 集成到他们产品中的公司（包括 SpacePirate，他在 Twitter 上说他们的游戏已从 Steam 下架）转发了我们的 Steam 文 章，并标记了 Epic 首席执行官 Tim Sweeney，要求交谈。现在他们似乎至少回答了一个 问题。 --
