Even in a bear market, blockchain gaming is the way of the future. I believe that games like Axie Infinity and others will continue to thrive because many people are already making a living from blockchain games, and the adoption rate will never slow down.

Yes, I'm also looking forward to the future of gaming. I'm invested in Axie and despite the months have been too sluggish and not really profitable. I've managed to get with those days when it's on the peak and very profitable. I was planning to get out of it and have a full exit but didn't pursue instead, I've stayed. Gaming with the integration of earning is the future. Let's just look at the reality even not related to cryptocurrencies, there are too many businesses and esports personalities that have been earning through games. This is really the future.

But it could be much better if their coins would have other utilities even outside their game right? since the adaptation of this coins could spread and can be a useful in the future. Like Bitcoin where it can be accepted as a payment everywhere, so probably partnership with other companies is a good idea, not because some people are earning doesn't mean that it can be the future there should be someone buying it and when they buy it they can do something with it.

ya.ya.yo!

How did you came to the conclusion that blockchain gaming is the future? I think it is hard to make such a conclusion, as most of current games, where blockchain technology is used are rather simple. These games are very primitive. It is either puzzle like game, or grind game, or a MTG like games. I might be having an incorrect info, and you might be more experienced in this question, but then name me released games, that can beat regular AAA games, lets say released in last 5 years.

My vision of current blockchain games: they are either basic games, or mutation of ICO's. As most blockchain games now have some arts, webpage, maybe 5-30sec gameplay video, but try to raise money for development. And a lot of such "blockchain games" disappear after several months of token/nft sales.

Thats really true. However some developer takimg advantage of its hype and releasing game that arent sustainable or worse rugging the players/investors. Noticed a lot of rug activity on bsc and its not a good way to expand metaverse. Hopefully people should clearly pick their investment wisely. Some of these games are also suspicious so only be vigilant when investing.

Blockchain gaming projects that are outstanding always end up not profitable on the long run, they are always the best at earlier stage but once all eye are on them their value will surge and it will be extremely hard to make money out of them, same fate is affecting axie infinity today.

I agree with you mate, but the only down side is that blockchain gaming isn't for everyone just like the regular games are, blockchain gaming requires a lot of things and one of those things is a high end device, be it android or iPhone, it must be up to the task to avoid lags and hotness.
And again, blockchain games requires technical knowledge of games mechanics, this is one of the ways to guarantee wins.
This are just few of what I think, any one can correct me incase am wrong.

maybe not all, but most of them. because we don't know yet the fate of most of these gaming platforms. if it is backed by the likes of Ubisoft, they have the chance to survive long and grow big because they have been in the industry already even before the rise of blockchain gaming. so their players are just adopting this new type of gaming genre.
from where we are now, these nft or p2e gaming platforms are just in the beginning phase of their journey. since we have millions of gamers across the globe, they can always get a good audience if the the company has rock solid plans for their platform.

The only question is that how the market will be in the future, I mean if it gets saturated, for sure many blockchain gaming might not prosper. And remember that Axie is a prime mover, so obviously many are into it up to today so that price will likely to thrive even in bear market.

But how about others who is just a copy cat? and just like the hype of the ICO in 2017, some of them didn't survived and so this is what I'm seeing in the blockchain gaming industry.

We can start with eSports, as time goes by technology evolves. And look now, here's the online games that already using blockchain and the good thing also is you can start earning while just playing. A few years ago I am really looking forward to eSports that it got a big future.
Especially with the help of Blockchain, and let's hope that some people should not abuse, since the hype is already started, some could take advantage of the hype.

Definitely. I remember before when I wasted a lot of money playing different online games and it's not just money that was wasted but a lot of time and effort. That era could be over if all new games that will come out would give back the invested money even at small units per month, week, or day.
That is the future and not just 3D, Virtual, or whatever upgrades they do. It is more appealing to gamers if they know something will come back to them and their time is not wasted.

All forms of games can be used, either directly or indirectly, the difference is that we can exchange games that use blockchain directly into tokens, while we can use traditional games to create content, share our behavior on YouTube accounts and others, but traditional games are not necessarily everyone can use it to earn income, this is the difference between the two games, and I believe blockchain games will develop more in the future.

IMO, I agreed that P2E blockchain games like Axie, is one of the most successful blockchain P2E games that have been released so far, but it doesn't mean that it was the way of the future because if we say "future it was big and we have no idea what will happen in the future and because the industry continues to evolve thats why Im sure many creative innovations will come sooner or later so the future is uncertain thats why Im just a slightly doubting about that notion.  

Everyone has boredom at some point. Just because blockchain gaming is currently going mainstream, their market is blowing up because even someone who is not a gamer based will take part in earning, they don't really enjoy the game. If one day the gaming market has receded due to the presence of something else that is more profitable, people will start to leave it and only true gamers will be survive in this industry.

You can't be sure that the adoption rate will continue to go up, yes, there is some hype around blockchain games for now, but what if it's just hype right now, and what if that hype goes away, blockchain games has a long way to go, that's if it's going to be around for so long, I would like not really picture it as one for the future, except if everything continues to go on legitimately and people are not scammed through it. But we can be certain that some individuals would still make attempts at scamming people, and if there is so much of that, it could make people lose interest in the whole project.

These games are firing because people are able to earn money from it. But as soon as these games will start charging money, the situation will change quickly. A majority of the internet users want free things but in order to survive, the blockchain gaming companies will have to levy charges in future.

Also hype is an interesting factor here. As long as hype is alive around blockchain gaming, they will survive. But a time will come when the users will look for real value beyond NFT and free tokens. So unless these gaming companies evolve around the consumer need, they will become extinct.

I doubt this dream will become a reality, if gaming for fun never makes any sense to you then you aren't a hardcore gamer, if gaming was never fun to begin with Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft won't be as big as they are today with gaming, graphics and fun is unbeatable even if you can't make money out of them, most crypto games I've played so far sucks, I'd rather spend hours playing COD Warzone instead of axie infinity.

Gaming token such as Axie Infinity had trended very well, surprisingly it's reward Smooth Love Potion SLP enjoyed a massive pump and trended bullish in the last couple of days till now, imagine gamers who had earned some huge amount of SLP would have made some reasonable amount of money by exchanging to fiat, the token which had already been listed by Binance worth investing in it, AXS is also one of the best gaming token in cryptocurrencies market, it had made a remarkable growth since it was listed also in Binance .

If they got bored they will stop playing but if they have a true passion for games, they will comeback again to play. Type of game is also important for a gamer. Of course, they will get tired for a game that is boring or if the game doesn't keep on updating to add more elements on the game to make the game more exciting.

We have good nft games at the moment, axie for example but many players are complaining for the drop of the slp price and they make this an excuse to stop playing the game. its clear that this people are not true gamer's but they are only in for the hype and for the earnings. Now they are switching to other nft games that value does not drop yet.

Gaming and Metaverses - that's our future. Play-to-earn and Play-and-earn concepts will change the world we are living in. Whole our life is a game, so let's play it :)

The source of the problem is the more adoption of Play to earn games and more and more users will continue to reduce the price or daily income of the game. So far, the SLP function can only be used as a reward in games with no other utility. therefore there should be more utility than slp I'm sure developers are working on that.

Now SLP price is recovering again due to a new update which removed SLP rewards from adventure mode. Now players can only farm SLP through PVP mode.

At same time it was a good measure to reduce SLP supply on the market and increase its price, it wasn't good for players like me who just farmed 50 SLPs daily against common mobs, what was really fast doesn't matter how efficient the axie team was.

After the update I don't have patience to play anymore, because it's a big waste of time to play against another players, since it takes a considerable period of time without returning any rewards if you aren't able to beat the rivals.

In my opinion, making a living in the Play to earn game at this time is not quite right, the problem is the adoption of many people makes prices and incomes continue to fall, if it is not stable then the income for the family's income is also not fulfilled, the most important thing here is just be patient until our tokens are redeemed. the moon and withhold our income.

Play to earn is a fun game can also earn, a different concept from the previous game just get fun, here we can earn a living, so far axie infinity is very famous in the concept of Play to Earn.

There is no difference between the concept of game development in the past and now, Both can make money if we are able to use it, old game concepts can be made in the form of content, then we share it on social media such as YouTube, although this concept is still speculative, but the development of the game concept era increasingly improved, we can immediately get profits in the form of money without having to do other ways, this concept is what makes the game now more superior compared to the old game.

You are right, Axie is still a game that has remained despite all the things that games have gone through, but it is not the same profitability, and yes, some players have remained because their passion is games, but since the gamer community is so large, they are also aware of the games of the moment even if you don't give them money, for them the best thing is the game and its fun, in this case the NFT games were taking advantage of the gamer community to get hold of a great business model, but due to many scam projects some gamers no longer trust it and this represents a problem for the NFT game industry, in my opinion it is very difficult to trust an NFT game especially in its internal economy so that it does not convert in a ponzi model.

the reason why blockchain gaming could holds on really well amid the massive bearish because it has so many investment from every corners, quite literally could manipulate its own market using its own product that is their own games.
if the team wanna increase their coins valuation, they could simply offers land staking or some sort and their coins would simply gets boosted in terms of value. getting in control of the market is such a piece of cake for them honestly.
the only thing that should be seriously considered is if they are truly sustaining with that kind of business model, you see most of the blockchain gaming seems like just come and go, big gaming platform like axie could still exist but it seems it has fading in fame and popularity and starting getting overtaken by the other similar platforms.

So, did you think that your life is about gaming? The play to earn concept was not perfect and it needs more solution to fix the pay to win mechanism. People who have owned good assets will always win against peopel who own regular asset. So many play to earn game was just pay to earn game. There's no game that let its users to play for free to earn.
If that is still using it as a way to create blockchain gaming ecosystem and it sounds like a pyramid ponzi scheme where the new users have to paid lots of money to the old players to be able to buy their NFT.
This is not good for the ecosystem and i think that it will not change the world. Game is about how you can find something that makes you feel good and fun.

How are you feeling it?
There are not many good products to experience, this field is too young to say that a stronger boom in the crypto space needs more time for large corporations and specialized companies to enter this field. Be more realistic with this market, it is attractive but risky and not everyone has experience with those things.

Personally, I don't think that this is the case.

There are obviously usage cases for NFTs and blockchains in the gaming industry, in particular in the P2E space.

However, it is simply not going to stop growing. Even the traditional gaming industry has experienced declines in growth given that people have essentially topped out all of their gaming activities during the COVID lockdown and it is very unlikely that there will be a further upsurge in the people playing these games.

They are only making it for short term but it's not about long term. Remember that if the blockchain game income can't sustain and this totally depend with the price of token. Once you will be able to receiving it and then I will try to make sure if  your salary will totally depend with how much you received with the rate at the payment. Take a look at this coin https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bombcrypto/

When the price is going down and your income will be going down as well. That being said that this blockchain game can't give you long term guarantee about the sustainability of the game.
It's too risky to use this as your income coz so many uncertainties in the blockchain game. it's tokenomic was also the worst.

I am looking AXIE infinity game not really popular again with SLP price dump drastically, first when price of SLP above $0.2 many people show off about how popular this game and they can earn wit minimum 200 SLP each day, but now after crash price of SLP under $0.03 many member left and sell their hero character on AXIE marketplace, maybe have some member still play this game but not for selling and keep hold it waiting price pump again.
