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.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
From the latest iPhone to the return of 80s fashion. The editorial team will help you make sense of it all.
