Ubisoft's first step into the NFT landscape hasn't been the smoothest. NFTs, in general, are a contentious consequence given their intangible nature. In theory, NFTs serve digital receipts to testify ownership over a particular production. Notwithstanding, the ease with which an NFT can be minted has proven controversial; there are several instances of online artists who have had their artwork stolen and minted by an NFT seller, who so turned a profit. The carbon emissions caused by the NFT minting/selling process have also been a point of concern among NFT critics.
