play to earn

The Reddit co-founder Alexis Ghanian explains to Business Insider that so-called play-to-earn games or blockchain games will gain massively importance over the next few years . This means that you not only get a simple in-game currency in games in order to unlock worthless items, but NFT items with a real value that can be purchased and sold. Or you earn by playing cryptocurrency that you can invest in NFTs or turn into real money.

90 percent of people will not play a game if they are not adequately paid for this time. In five years you will appreciate your time correctly.

Instead of buying stupid hammers, which you do not really have, Ghanian says that your games will become gambling, in which you can actually earn and still enjoy the same way. (Source: Business Insider)

An example of a play-to-earn game is the round-based online card game Axis Infinity, which allows you to increase your cryptoconto in the course of your playing time. However, the game slowly sinks in an inflation crisis, because many players rather pay off after some time than investing in the game again . (Source: Business Insider)

Can we simply play to have fun? (Comment)

Throughout this entire NFT discussion, which seems to be no end, one asks itself as Otto Normal Gamer, to what extent NFTs and cryptocurrencies improve the gaming experience. So far, it could not explain a games company, scrambled you have never tried. Rather, but one notices, but that the game fun continues to move into the background .

Last praised Yoke Matsuda, the President of Square Enix, in a New Year's letter to players addresses the progressive development of NFTs and predicts a golden future. In the same letter, he put Play for Fun in quotes as if it were so strange to play a game for fun.

Now Mr. Reddit personally tells how gaming will change in the near future, he obviously does not even understand the present. He assumes that now you are already gambling just to unlock any pointless items. Rather, you play games but simply have fun. alone, with friends or online with strangers from all over the world.
