What we have planned next

The gaming model has up to this point been largely extractive, with affiliate marketing, in-app purchases, and in-app advertising being the main commercial basis for game developers.

Blockchain, and specifically NFT technology, introduces the possibility for players not only to own their digital assets, but sell them to other users and to transfer them in between games. The ability of projects to mint native tokens also means that loyal users can be rewarded with currency that has value outside the game itself (the Play-to-Earn model).

This blurring of the boundaries between the virtual and real world has fundamentally altered the dynamics of gaming, with some players actually earning a full-time living from its monetary rewards, and certain in-game currencies (e.g. Axie’s SLP) being accepted by real-world retailers.

Why mainstream gamers are ready

In addition to the benefits of blockchain gaming already outlined, the gamer community is in many ways ready to embrace the phenomenon, having many of the traits required to understand and appreciate the additional dimension that crypto brings.

Gamers have an inbuilt desire to solve puzzles and apply tenacity to decipher and master new abilities and environments. Furthermore, games such as Runescape and World of Warcraft have demonstrated the viability of in-game economies where fiat money is exchanged for virtual goods.

More broadly, gamers have been dealing with ‘tokenization’ in the form of virtual goods and currencies for almost as long as video games have existed.
