Non-fungible tokens (NFT) and cryptocurrency enthusiasts looking to merge their passion with gaming will have to look outside Steam to satisfy their fetish, as the Valve-owned company has banned all games that utilise them as rewards.<\/p>\n

The news came after developers of Age of Rust revealed via social media that Steam will remove “all blockchain games” off the platform.
