Building The Blockchain Gaming Industry: Industry Voices Share Their Perspectives

As with all new technologies, having a dedicated and numerous base of early adopters is essential to ensuring the success of any platform, app, or game. Early adopters are often the most vocal advocates of a new game and assist in creating the viral momentum needed to outpace churn.

It’s because you’re trying to attract the early adopters, and you need to create a base. Until you get a minimum volume, then nobody wants to play your game. If you have enough early adopters to show you the way, then you can work on the bigger mass.”  – said Panyasiri.

Gaming studios have been quick to embrace microtransactions as a way of monetizing their content and creating additional revenue streams to maximize profitability and increase CLV (Customer Lifetime Value) against spend like development costs and CAC (Customer Acquisition Costs).

some games could spawn new, professional player economies, where players ‘play to earn’ and have a level of control over a game’s updates and evolution.

players could earn tokens, and then they could have control of the future of the game(s) they’re earning income from. That could be an interesting option for the future of gaming and what blockchain could bring to it

the game players of today have grown up with free-to-play gaming ecosystems where goods are offered and traded freely and users’ gift items they intrinsically see as having value to other people.

“It goes to free-to-play and how there’s a generational shift in how our kids, who are born using mobile and tablet devices and are born into buying free-to-play items and virtual items, are now thinking.

They are not wondering ‘is it a physical good? Is there value to it?’ They already accept that virtual items have value and they’ve been spending to acquire them.”
