Crypto Company Turns Games It Doesn’t Own into NFTs, Quickly Deletes Them

Apparently, declaring a game "abandoned" doesn't give you the right to sell it via blockchain.

In early 2022, the "Retro Arcade" game collection was presented as a method to preserve abandoned games, incorporating a series of video games in the form of NFTs, without however any type of authorization from the original creators of the software in question. After a short period of time, the NFTs in question were removed, following different reports.

More precisely, in April the "Retro Arcade" collection was launched, aimed at demonstrating the ability of the Metagravity platform to support executable software inside a non-fungible token. Right from the start, doubts arose regarding the right (or lack thereof) to republish and modify to such an extent the source of the video games used in the project, created and published by minds outside the situation.
