What’s new? In a deal with the blockchain game developer Splinterlands, musicians collaborating with Warner Music Group will be able to create and develop play-to-earn games that use cryptocurrency tokens. This is not WMG’s first move into cryptocurrencies. Last year, the company agreed with Genies to create avatars and NFT merchandise for its artists. In January this year, WMG partnered with the digital collectibles platform Blockparty.
