Shrapnel, a new blockchain-based game Shrapnel will launch in December but U.S. gamers won’t be able to cash out because the company fears it’ll trigger securities laws, Francis Brankin explained.
The creators of blockchain game Shrapnel — an upcoming AAA first-person extraction shooter — will be cutting a part of its game for United States-based players, in order to avoid the potential ire of the country’s securities regulator.
The game, which is due to launch in early access in December, will be unrestricted for players from Europe and Asia but gamers from the U.S. will not be able to cash out at all, says Shrapnel Head of Economy Francis Brankin in a Sept. 13 interview with Cointelegraph at Token 2049. “They [U.S. users] can do everything every other player can do, but they can't cash out. Because that's what makes it a security to the U.S. player, as soon as they can realize monetary value, that’s where the problem comes in.”
He hopes the issue will be temporary and that Neon — the team behind Shrapnel — will soon enable U.S. users to bridge capital accrued from Shrapnel to their bank accounts.
