Fallen Earth is a zombie apocalyptic MMO with a robust economy and one of the most active communities in gaming. Using NFTs to fund development opens up all sorts of opportunities for player interaction that traditional funding models cannot offer.
Fallen Earth is a free-to-play MMORPG that has recently considered using NFTs to fund development. The game is currently in alpha and will be released on Steam early 2019.
The winner of Massively OP’s Biggest MMO Surprise of 2021 has another surprise in its sleeve, and it’s not a nice one. Little Orbit CEO Matt Scott asked the Fallen Earth community on Twitter this week if they would be willing to purchase NFTs from the game to help support future development.
“Fallen Earth gamers are asking me how they can help us and enhance the game,” Scott stated. “Real question: would anybody be interested in one-of-a-kind NFTs based on Fallen Earth characters?” Perhaps fully rigged 3D models? But just as a means of funding the next great development wave?”
We’re delighted to report that the bulk of the comments were negative, ranging from “no!” to “HELL no!” “Don’t do this,” one gamer wrote, tapping into the emotion. Fallen Earth is a valuable IP for Little Orbit, and ruining it before the Unity version is released would be disastrous. There are awful ideas and Jar-Jar Binks-level ideas, and this is Jar-Jar Binks-level stupid.”
“The reaction is genuine — and for good cause if publishers start changing fantastic games and attempting to shoehorn in NFTs to the gameplay,” Scott said in response to similar comments regarding the contentious link between NFTs and gaming. However, NFTs as a Kickstarter alternative seemed to be a viable option.”

Fallen Earth is a post-apocalyptic MMO developed by Dark Age Studios. The game features an in-game economy that uses “NFTs” to fund development and other costs. NFTs are non-fungible tokens, which means they can only be used within the game, not outside of it. Reference: fallen earth steam.
