STEAM CHANGED THOUGHT TO BANN NFT?
Gala Games has announced that their crypto game Superior will be available on Steam. This is rather strange, given that about a year ago, Steam refused to work with NFT games due to “community outrage”.
The fact is that the developers decided to take a tricky step by making two versions of the game. One version for Steam and one for web with NFT. Players of both versions will be able to play together and even move their account between the two versions.
Superior is an RPG co-op shooter where players hunt down mutated superheroes and steal their powers. Mission-based PvE game play with an evolving storyline.

4.Polygon becomes the leader of Web3.
Bernstaein analysts assure that the Polygon blockchain can be one of the leading ecosystems of the future, playing a particularly important role in the transition of traditional financial companies to Web3.
It is noted that the cryptocurrency of the MATIC blockchain has increased in price by 30% after Meta introduced a toolkit that allows you to issue Polygon-based NFTs. Polygon is also used by Starbucks, NuBank, Reddit, DraftKings and Robinhood Markets.
The Polygon team did two things right, analysts at Bernstaein said: aggressively hiring talent from big tech companies like YouTube, Amazon and Airbnb, and partnering with consumer-focused brands.
“These steps have made Polygon a unique platform that millions of users use to get started with Web3. And the recent increase in the price of MATIC is a fair reward for the market,” said the experts.
