One of the users of the social network Twitter invited Epic Games to comment on its attitude towards collectible tokens (NFTs), while asking to “remove such games from the store.”

"Developers should be free to decide howbuild your own games. And you are free to decide whether to play them. I believe that the creators of operating systems and stores should not interfere and impose their views. We definitely won’t do that,” wrote Tim Sweeney.
