![]() ![]() GameFi is also expected to grow to a $50 billion market by 2025, according to research from. It’s now around $9.Īccording to DappRadar, GameFi currently represents over 50% of all blockchain activity, measured by unique active wallets, which represent users who have recently performed transactions within the ecosystem. In early November 2020, AXS was trading at $0.18. But investors who have been buyers of these coins since 2020 are up thousands of percent. Other than Axie Infinity, Illivium is down 93%, Sandbox is down 85%, and Decentraland is down 80% year-to-date. And the play-to-earn market has crashed both due to poor design by the startups that created them and too much traffic that clogged servers and turned people off to slow, stuttering games. ![]() GameFi looks bad because crypto looks terrible overall.

The earning part should be the cherry on top.” “Web3 games should not be created differently than Web2 games. “It will be better, but always and only if the gameplay can live up to the expectations and standards of traditional Web2 gamers,” she says. Theresia Le Battistini, CEO of the play-to-earn project Fashion League in Zurich, says she thinks play-and-earn is where many of these games will switch to next. Axie’s stellar popularity also clogged its servers sometimes, leading to a poor gamer experience. ![]() It was like going from $15 an hour to $1.50. When the gamer flow slowed, the token's price collapsed, and so did a player’s earnings. But to make money off of Axie’s in-game token, players needed new gamers to join because new gamers had to buy Axie characters, a non-fungible token. The consensus seems to be that they worked hard to build what would become a beta test of metaverse gaming. No one is saying that Axie developers built a scam coin project. This might have been what’s turned investors off to Axie Infinity, once the rockstar of the GameFi investor’s universe. Selling a limited number of expensive items and building speculative trading into your game is exactly what you’re not supposed to do.” “If you’re developing a game as a passion project, something for ‘the gamers’, then your game needs to be as affordable and accessible as possible. Ultimately, it needs to come down to your objectives as a blockchain developer,” Biggar says. “It’s our job to help developers build and market their games, so of course we’re paying attention to what’s working, for our partners and the industry, but we won’t know what works and what doesn’t until they’ve been on the market for some time.

Game developers can also reward players with rare NFT “skins” or cosmetic items that deepen the player connection to their in-game characters, ideally designed to increase the stickiness and retention of players. “This means giving the player small and well-balanced rewards, payable in crypto tokens issued by the game, that allow the player to use those tokens to enhance their gaming experience via cosmetics and event-driven content,” he says. The reward enhances the players experience within the game, makes them want to get to the next level, no different than an old-school action-adventure game on the X Box, Griffin describes. Play-and-earn is similar to the reward mechanisms from traditional internet gaming – players unlock rewards that enrich their gaming experience. But play-and-earn can work,” says Jack Griffin, vice president of studios at Smashverse, a blockchain fighting game full of body builder-looking dudes, and apes in boxing gloves. “Play-to-earn obviously failed, as earning was the main objective and the actual gameplay became secondary and in some cases almost nonexistent. ![]()
