NFT Gaming Should Be More Than Just A Play To Earn Concept

• NFT gaming devs are concentrating more on attractive P2E mechanics to attract guilds, but some think they should be ‘play for fun’ too.
• Play To earn gaming has brought to nations such as Brazil, the Philippines and Malaysia is giving a new hope.
• P2E or play-to-earn gaming is a realm of crypto games offering the players a chance to earn while they invest their time in the gameplay.

P2E Gaming Should Be Fun Too

NFT gaming devs want to make the Play to Earn concept more fun to attract more gaming guilds. John Stefanidis, co-founder and CEO of Balthazar thinks these games should be ‘play for fun’ too.

It’s no secret that P2E gaming has created the greatest disruption the gaming industry has ever witnessed. Potentially since the inception of smartphones. For the very first time in history, making a career in the gaming space is under the range of an average Jill and Joe, and not just for pro gamers.

A seismic change in Play to earn gaming has brought the nations such as the Philippines, Brazil, and Malaysia, a ray of hope to a post-pandemic world for a myriad of people.

In fact, Axie Infinity reported more than a couple of million daily active users. As per a report, one in every three gamers might quit their job to make a full-time career in Play to Earn gaming, as these games become more accessible and lucrative.

Why Must Play To Earn Be Play For Fun Too?

This is about balance. Games cannot be developed just because they have an element of earning. This is because focusing on this sole element may cause failure in the game. There are players in the space who don’t just play for earnings.

If I receive something in Call of Duty Warzone that can be used as a real-life utility. I used the instance of this game because the gamers already know how fun it is to play this game, and involving a P2E concept will take the gaming to a whole new level.

Gamers will want to get involved with play-to-earn games similar to P2E games. Especially as AAA gaming organizations start developing mesmerizing gaming experiences on blockchains.

It must be clear, then, to blockchain game builders that if they desire to lure traditional gamers, then they must concentrate on fun.
