digitec Podcast Episode 78: NFT in Games, CES, "The Witcher
The tech trade show CES is taking place again. And rightly so? We also talk to expert John Orthwein about the increasing popularity of NFT in games.
Hardly anyone is there, but it's still happening: CES in Las Vegas. Last year, due to the pandemic, it only took place digitally, and this year, too, many companies are physically absent. Nevertheless, there is no shortage of exciting news.
Afterwards, Simon raves about red Saabs and road trips through Japan in the movie "Drive my Car." I watched the second season of "The Witcher" and was a bit disappointed.
In the games corner, Simon has another indie tip with "Highfleet". This so-called dieselpunk game looks like the control center of an old nuclear bunker and is reminiscent of a mixture of Dune and Afghanistan. Things are more colorful, but no less dramatic in "Life is Strange True Colors". In this atmospheric adventure game, protagonist Alex uses her superpower of emotion recognition to solve a murder.
In the last part of the podcast, John Orthwein from i.AM Innovation Lab in Zurich visits us for the second time. John is Head of Blockchain there and an expert on NFT. This makes him the perfect person to talk to us about the NFT hype in the gaming industry.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
